Respuesta :
The maximum height of the pumpkin is 3 feet
We have given that,
A catapult hurls a pumpkin from a height of 32 feet at an initial velocity of 96 feet per second.
The function h(t)=-16t^2+96t+32 represents the heights of the pumpkin h(t) in terms of time t.
We have to determine the maximum height.
What is the maxima?
At the point of maxima f'(x)=0
first, find the maxima
Therefore differentiate the given function with respect to t we get,
[tex]h'(t)=-32t+96[/tex]
h'(t)=0
Then we get,
[tex]0=-32t+96\\-32t=-96\\t=\frac{-96}{-32} \\t=3[/tex]
Therefore the maximum height of the pumpkin is 3 feet.
