An object thrown directly upward is at a height of h feet after t seconds, where h = -16 (t - 3)^2 + 150. At what height, in feet, is the object 2 seconds after it reaches its maximum height?

the maximum height the object can reach is when t=3...
i.e. h=150
So, we need to find the height when t=3+2= 5
Put the value of t=5 in the equation
We get 86
Answer is B
Whats the OA?

Assuming no complicated physics is applied :)
IMO B:

Since the expression is: h = -16 (t - 3)^2 + 150, the maximum height will be 150 ft. This will happen when t = 3 secs.
Hence 2 sec after the maximu height is reached is 2+3 = 5 sec

Put t = 5 in the expression
h = -16(2)^2 + 150 = 86.

Hope this helps
