Max ht is at the vertex of the parabola, at t = -b/2a
t = -32/-32 = 1
h(1) = -16 + 32 + 20
= 36 feet
hope this helps

h(t) = (t) = - 16t^2 + 32t + 20
Maximum Height of parabola (vertex)
t = - b/2a
t = - 32/- 32 = 1
h (1) = - 16 + 32 + 20
Answer = 36 Feet


Hope that answer your question, and helps you!!!
