The water from a sprinkler follows the path of the equation h(x)=-0.09(x-3.22)^2+1.53. What is the maximum height the water will reach in feet?

Answer 1

Find the vertex. The vertex will give you the horizontal distance of the water from the sprinkler head when the height of the water is at it's maximum.

Vertex form of a quadratic is A(x - h)² + k, where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola.
