Answer:

Maximum height reached = 159.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation h(t)=-16t²+100t+3

At maximum height derivative is zero.

That is

dh

---- = -32t + 100 = 0

dt

t=3.125s

Substituting t = 3.125 s in h(t)=-16t²+100t+3

Maximum height

h(3.125) = -16 x 3.125²+100 x 3.125 + 3 =159.25 feet

Maximum height reached = 159.25 feet
