Given the function \( h(z) = 18 \), it means that for any value of \( z \), the output will always be \( 18 \). This indicates that \( h(z) \) is a constant function.
The values given (such as 2.583, 2.718, 324, 2.583.357) do not appear to correlate directly with \( h(z) \), since the function does not depend on \( z \) in a meaningful way that would influence a numerical approximation of 18.
Thus, the output of the function \( h(z) = 18 \) is constant and doesn't change regardless of the inputs. Since the question asks us to approximate 18 to three decimal places, the answer would be:
18.000
However, among the given options, there may be a misunderstanding, as none of the options seem to represent an approximation of \( h(z) \) correctly. Could you clarify the context or provide more detail regarding how we should relate the values given in the table to the function?
