    160002 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    y (t) = -16t^2+3200t+2

    We need y' to find a maximum

    y' (t) = -32t+3200

    y' (t) = 0 if t=100

    Notes that y' (t) >0 if t100 y' (t) <0. Now we can conclude that y (t) has maximum in t=100

    Y (100) = -16*10000+3200*100+2

    Y (100) = 160002 feet
