Using the 3 coordinates (0,0), (6, 24), (14, 0) to describe the start, end, and highest point of the projectile motion of a bomb shot out of the cannon, what is the very highest point at which the bomb reaches?
The vertex is the highest point and since (0,0) and (14,0) are the two points at which the bomb is on the ground, coordinate (6,24) is the highest point of the bomb.
