<PRE><B>Question 321772</B>
A rocket is shot straight into the air at an initial velocity of 96 feet/second. The height of the rocket after x seconds is represented by the formula h = 96x – 16x2. What is the maximum height the rocket reaches? 
---
Max height occurs when x =-b/2a = -96/(-2*16) = 3 seconds
----
The Max height = h(3) = 96*3-16(9) = 144 ft.
