Question 449956: A toy rocket goes vertically upward with and initial velocity of 96 feet per second. After t seconds, the velocity of the rocket is given by the formula v=96-32t, neglecting air resistance. In how many seconds will the rocket reach it's highest point? (hint at the highest point, v=0)

+v+=+96+-+32t+
+0+=+96+-+32t+
+32t+=+96+
+t+=+3+
In 3 seconds the highest point is reached
