A flying squirrel jumped from a tree branch and floated to the ground. The squirrel's height (in meters above the ground) ttt seconds after jumping is modeled by h(t)=-2t^2+4t+30h(t)=−2t
2
+4t+30h, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis, equals, minus, 2, t, squared, plus, 4, t, plus, 30
Suppose we want to know the height of the squirrel above the ground at its highest point.
1) Rewrite the function in a different form (factored or vertex) where the answer appears as a number in the equation.
h(t)=h(t)=h, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis, equals
2) At its highest point, how far above the ground was the squirrel?
