PLEASE HELP!! Suppose that the path of the first model rocket follows the equation D(t) = −6 • (t − 3.7)2 + 82.14, where t is the time in seconds (after the first rocket is launched), and D(t) is the height of each rocket, in feet. In the equation, what does the term −3.7 do to the rocket's graph? What does the value t = 3.7 represent in the science project? (What happens to the rocket?) (2 points)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the term -3.7 translate the graph 3.7 units in the x direction and since it is at parabola it also indicates the point where the rocket is at its highest
