You can put this solution on YOUR website! A rocket is launched upward with a velocity of 64 feet per second from the top of a fifty foot structure. What is the maximum height attained by the rocket?
---------------
If it's a rocket, it has a thrust engine, and its max height is determined by thrust, fuel, weight, etc.
------------
If it's a projectile,
h(t) = -16t^2 + 64t + 50
Vertex at t = 2
h(2) = -64 + 128 + 50 = 114 feet
