Answer:

The maximum height of the watermelon is 74 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The watermelon reaches its maximum height when its velocity is zero. Mathematically speaking, velocity is the first derivative of the function height, that is:

v(t) = \frac{d}{dt} h(t) (1)

Where v(t) is the velocity, in feet per second.

If we know that h(t) = -16\cdot t^{2}+56\cdot t +25 and v(t) = 0\,\frac{ft}{s}, then the time associated with maximum height is:

v(t) = -32\cdot t +56 (2)

-32\cdot t + 56 = 0

t = 1.75\,s

Now we evaluate the function height at time found in the previous step: (t = 1.75\,s)

h(t) = -16\cdot t^{2}+56\cdot t +25

h(1.75) = 74\,ft

The maximum height of the watermelon is 74 feet.
