I think the equation is:
The coordinate of the maximum height
is at
sec
It will take 9 sec to reach maximum height
--------------------
When the rocket returns to earth,
( the launch time )
( return to earth )
In 18 sec the rocket returns to earth
----------------------------------
here's the plot:
