Question 1166903: A toy rocket is launched in an open field. The path of the rocket can be modelled by the relation h=-5(t-3)^2+68.
h= height in meter above the ground
t= the time after the rocket was launched in seconds
what is the maximum height that the rocket reaches?
how long does it take the rocket to reach its maximum height?
