Given: h(t)= -2.65t2 +100t
(1) Find a function for the velocity of the arrow at time t.
v(t) is the same as the derivative h(t).
v(t) = h'(t) = -5.3t + 100
(2) What is the maximum height of the arrow?
It means when v(t) = 0
0 = -5.3t + 100
5.3t = 100
t = 1000/53
plugin the value of t in h(t)
h(1000/53)= -2.65(1000/53)2 +100(1000/53)
=943.40 feet
(3) What is the velocity when it hits the ground?
it mean h(t) = 0
0 = -2.65t2 +100t
0 = t(-2.65t + 100)
t = 0, -2.65t + 100 = 0
Eliminate t=0
-2.65t = -100
t = 100/2.65 =2000/53
plugin t in v(t)
v(2000/53) = -5.3(2000/53) + 100
v(2000/53) = -100 ft./ sec.
