Question 1115978: The height, in meters, above sea level of a NASA launched rocket is given by
h(t)=-4.9t^2+178t+388 where t
represents the number of seconds since the rocket was launched.
If we assume that the rocket is launched from a launch pad, how high is the launch pad?

====================
IDK if you've might have noticed, but rockets are not designed to fall back and impact the Earth in a few seconds.
Some of the payloads are STILL moving away from the Earth after more than 40 years.
This is not a rocket. It's a projectile.
Who writes the idiotic "math problems?"
