Safety Audit: Projectile Maximum Height Documentation

In your role as a safety compliance officer, you are reviewing the projectile model h=16t2+128t+32h = -16t^2 + 128t + 32 used to predict the height of stones launched during site clearing. Describe the step-by-step mathematical process used to determine the stone's maximum height according to this model. In your response, explain why the leading coefficient indicates a maximum height, state the formula used to find the time (tt), and provide the final calculated values for both the time and the maximum height reached.
