A ball is thrown across a playing field from a height of h = 5 ft above the ground at an angle of 45° to the horizontal at the speed of 20 ft/s. It can be deduced from physical principles that the path of the ball is modeled by the function y= -(32/400)x^2+x+5 where x is the distance in feet that the ball has traveled horizontally. 1) Find the maximum height attained by the ball.
