Without worrying about the derivative

dh/dt = 0,x this can be done by using

the quadratic.

The vertex is at (-b/2a, h(-b/2a))

h(t) = (-1/2)gt2 + ut

a = -g/2, b = u

-b/2a = -u/(-g) = u/g

h(u/g) = (-1/2)g(u/g)2 + u2/g

= -u2/2g + u2/g

= (-u2+2u2)/(2g)

= u2/2g

The maximum height is u2/2g

occurring at time t=u/g
