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. what is the max height the pumpkins will reach and what time will it reach that height?

Sagot :

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.
