PLEASE!!! HELP a rocket is fired straight up from a 60ft. Platform with an initial velocity of 9ft/sec. The height of the rocket, h(t), is found using the function h(t)= -16t^2+96t+60 where t is the time in seconds. Find the number of seconds required to reach the maximum height.

Question

anonymous · Answer

What kind of curve does h(t) define (i.e. a circle, an ellipse, a hyperbola, etc.)?

anonymous · Answer

uhmmm It doesnt say anything about that ! your supposed yo use the axis of symmetry to find the maximum of the function

Well to me, h(t) looks like a downward opening parabola :).  So in this case the "maximum" of h(t) would be the vertex of h(t)
