To find the maximum height of the projectile, we need to find the vertex of the parabolic function . The vertex of a parabola in the form is given by the formula .In this case, and . Plugging these values into the formula, we get: Simplifying, we have: So, the maximum height occurs at seconds.To find the maximum height, we substitute into the function : Simplifying, we have: Therefore, the maximum height of the projectile is 400 feet.
