If a ball's height in the air is given by the equation h(t) = -4.9t2 + 5t + 4.5, find the time at which the ball reaches its highest point. 

In order to solve this problem, consider what a derivative represents.  How could we use the graph of h(t) to tell where the ball is at its highest point?

answer: 0.51 seconds
