Question 588084: A harmless rocket is filled with water and then pressurized using a handheld pump. The rocket is then released and off it goes. If the rocket has an initial velocity of 96 ft/sec, the height of the rocket can be modeled by the function: h(t)= - 16t^2 +96t where h(t) represents the height of the rocket after t sec. What is the rocket's heigt at t = 3 sec?

h(t)= - 16t^2 +96t where h(t) represents the height of the rocket after t sec. What is the rocket's heigt at t = 3 sec?
------------
h(t)= -16t^2 + 96t
Find h(3)
Sub 3 for t
