Question 1142318: The altitude H, in meters of a launched object is given in the polynomial equation h = h to the 0 power + vt - 4.9t to the second power. where H to the zero power is the height, in meters, from which the launch occurs, v is the initial upward speed, in meters per second m/s, and t is the number of seconds which the object is airborne.
A model rocket is launched from the top of a building 32 m above the ground. The upward speed is 40 m/s. How high will the rocket be 2 seconds after the blastoff?

.

You are given the function for it


    h(t) = h%5B0%5D + vt - 4.9t%5E2.


Substitute the given values  h%5B0%5D = 32 m;  v = 40 m/s;  and t= 2 seconds into the formula.


You will get the answer IMMEDIATELY.


This instruction should be enough for you,  clearly explaining what to do.

Happy calculations !
