Answer:
h = 6.5 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of the frog as a function of time is given by :
[tex]h= -0.5t^2 +3t+2[/tex] .....(1)
We need to find the maximum height reached by the frog. We can find it as follows :
Put [tex]\dfrac{dh}{dt}=0[/tex]
So,
[tex]\dfrac{d}{dt}(-0.5t^2 +3t+2)=0\\\\-t+3=0\\\\t=3[/tex]
Put t = 3 in equation (1).
[tex]h= -0.5(3)^2 +3(3)+2\\\\h=6.5\ feet[/tex]
So, the maximum height is 6.5 feet.
