Question 999020: A rocket is shot vertically into the air. Its height at any time t, in seconds, can be determined by the equation s = -16t2 + 184t. When will the it reach its maximum height of 529 ft?

Set s = 529 and solve for the time t.
-16t^2 + 184t = 529
-16t^2 + 184t - 529 = 0
Using the quadratic formula, I get t = 5.75 seconds.
