A road is made in such a way that the center of the road is higher off the ground than the sides of the road, in order to allow rainwater to drain. A cross-section of the road can be represented on a graph using the function f(x) = (x – 16)(x + 16), where x represents the distance from the center of the road, in feet. Rounded to the nearest tenth, what is the maximum height of the road, in feet?
