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
