Paula is standing on a bridge that is 110 above the water below. She throws a
pebble over the edge of the bridge, and it hits the top of a 24 foot high bridge
guard. The quadratic equation that models the path of the pebble is:
p(t) = –16t2 + 48t + 110
such that t is the time in seconds and p is the height of the pebble.

The time it will take the pebble to reach the maximum height is 1.5secs

Given the quadratic equation that models the path of the pebble expressed as p(t) = –16t^2 + 48t + 110

We can calculate the time taken by the pebble to reach the maximum height.

At maximum height, the velocity of the pebble is zero i.e. p'(t) = 0

p'(t) = -32t + 48

0 = -32t + 48

32t = 48

t = 48/32

t = 1.5secs

Hence the time it will take the pebble to reach the maximum height is 1.5secs
