Find the coordinates of the turning point of the function below and state whether it is a maximum or a minimum point. Give your answers to $2$ decimal places where necessary.

$y=\\simplify {{f}x^2+{g}x+{h}}$

Firstly, find the first and second derivatives $y$.

$\\displaystyle \\frac{dy}{dx}=$ [[2]]

An unpowered missile is launched vertically from the ground.

At a time $t$ seconds after the instant of projection, its height, $y$ metres, above the ground is given by the formula

\\[ y=\\var{z}t-\\var{w}t^2. \\]

Calculate the maximum height reached by the missile.

Firstly, differentiate.

Now use this result and your knowledge of differentiation to find the maximum height of the missile, rounding your answer to $2$ decimal places.

Parts A and B

Here, the question takes you throught the stages needed to find the solution. The reason we differentiate is that the derivative of a function tells us its gradient at a given point, and we want to find where the function has gradient zero because when the gradient is zero we either have a maximum or a minimum point.

Part C

The first part of this question is similar to parts A and B. The tricky bit is the second part! You need to work out the value of $t$ that produces the maximum piont but that is not the final answer - you need to use that value of $t$ to find the maximum height, which you do by substituting $t$ into the original function to find $y$.
