For this discussion (just to randomize numbers a little) let's throw a ball with the initial velocity equaling your birthdate feet per second and from the initial height being your birthmonth feet above the ground.
In my case, since I was born on October 30th, my function is h(t) = -16t^2+30t+10.
Answer the following questions:
- What is the maximum height reached by the ball?
- How long does it take to reach that height?
