Two missiles, A and B, are shot from two different launch pads. The path of missile A can be represented by the quadratic function A(t) = −2(t − 15)2 + 506, where height, A(t), is in meters, and time, t, is in seconds. The path of missile B is shown below.
Part A: Which missile reaches the highest altitude (in meters)? Explain your answer.

Part B: How much higher does it travel (rounded to the nearest tenth)? Show all work necessary.
