To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1- You have the following function given in the problem above:

h(t) = -16 t^(2) + 64t + 5
2- To graph the function, you must give values to
t.
3- As you can see, the function is quadratic, which means that the graph is a parabola.
4- Keeping the explanation above on mind, when you plot each point obtained by giving values to
t, you have the graph attached.
