The trajectory of a ball can be computed with

where y = the height (m), θ0 = the initial angle (radians), υ0 = the initial velocity (m/s), g = the gravitational constant = 9.81 m/s2, and y0 = the initial height (m). Use the golden-section search to determine the maximum height given y0 = 2 m, υ0 = 20 m/s, and θ0 = 45°. Iterate until the approximate error falls below εs = 10% using initial guesses of xl = 10 and xu = 30 m.
