    The document solves for the maximum height of a ball thrown upwards with an equation modeling its path as y=2x-x^2/3. By taking the derivative and setting it equal to 0, the maximum occurs when x=3. Plugging x=3 back into the original equation gives y=3, so the maximum vertical displacement of the ball is 3 meters.

    Solution

    x2
    At maximum height, the slop of path y=2 x− will be zero
    3
    dy
    i.e. =0
    dx

    x2
    d (2 x− )
    SO find dy 3
    =
    dx dx

    2x
    2− =0
    3
    X=3
    x2
    Now put the value of x in y=2 x−
    3

    32
    ¿ 2∗3−
    3
    ¿ 6−3=3 meter
    So 3 meter is the maximum vertical displacement of the ball.
