Question 322209: 4.The equation h=-4t^2+16t+1.5 describes the path of a football, where t is the time in flight in seconds and h is the height of the football in metres.
What is the maximum height of the football?

The maximum height is the value of the function at the time the ball reaches maximum height. Take the value of that you computed in the last problem and evaluate the function at that point.
