Answer:
The height would be 12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:
The function of the height is given as follows:
h(t) = -16t² + 25t + 3

We want to know the height after 1 second. This means that we will simply substitute with t = 1 in the above function and calculate the corresponding height as follows:
h(1) = -16(1)² + 25(1) + 3
h(1) = -16 + 25 + 3
h(1) = 12 ft

Hope this helps :)
