Answer:
5 1/16 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
h(t) = -16t(t -18/16) . . . . put in intercept form
The function describes a parabola that opens downward. It has zeros at t=0 and t=9/8. The maximum height will be found at the vertex of the parabola, halfway between these zeros.
f(9/16) = (-16)(9/16)² +18(9/16) = 81/16 = 5 1/16 . . . . feet
The approximate maximum height of the leopard is 5 1/16 feet.
