Question 1065995: SOLVING APPLICATIONS
Assume that a water rocket is launched upward with initial velocity of 12 ​ft/sec. Its height​ h, in​ feet, after t​ seconds, is given by H=12t-16ft^2 Determine the height of the rocket one 1/2 sec after it has been launched.

-16t^2+12t=H(t)
H(0.5)=-4+6=2 feet.

maximum height at -12/-32 or 3/8 second (2.25 feet)
