The function 

h(t) = -16t^2+32t+24

models the height h, in feet, of a ball t seconds after it is thrown straight up into the air.  To the nearest foot, what is the maximum height of the throw?

All that is needed is the y-coordinate of the vertex

You can find the value with 

-b/(2a)


-32/(2(-16) )=1

Then find h(1) = 40 feet
