Amir stands on a balcony and throws a ball to his dog, who is at ground level.

The ball's height (in meters above the ground), x seconds after Amir threw it, is modeled by:

h(x)=-(x-2)^2+16

HINT!!! SET IT EQUAL TO 0 and then solve for x and you will get two solutions but use the one that is reasonable! (aka the positive solution)

We found that h(x)=0 for x=6 or x = -2. Since x = -2 doesn't make sense in our context, the only reasonable answer is x=6.

The number of mosquitoes in Minneapolis, Minnesota (in millions of mosquitoes) as a function of rainfall (in centimeters) is modeled by:

m(x)=-(x-5)^2+25


find the maximum y value of the function

The number of mosquitoes is modeled by a quadratic function, whose graph is a parabola.

The maximum number of mosquitoes is reached at the vertex.

So in order to find the maximum number of mosquitoes, we need to find the vertex's y-coordinate.

The vertex of -(x-5)^2+25 is at (5,25)
