The answer is approximately 16 inches. I attached the work below :) (if this helped u can u give brainlist)
Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: <span>y=−0.5x^2+8x
Examining this function, we see that its graph is a vertical parabola opening down.
You did not supply instructions for this problem.
However, one could guess that you might want to find the highest point of the grasshopper's path. To do this, find the vertex: Find the x value defined by
x = -b/(2a). Here, a= -0.5 and b= 8. Thus, the vertex is at x = -8/(2[-0.5]), or
x -8/(-1) = 8 units. The corresponding y value is then
y = </span><span>−0.5*8^2+8(8) = -0.5(64) + 64, or 32 units.</span>
