Question 1152616
A model rocket is launched from the ground with an initial velocity of 60 feet per second. The function g(t)= -16t^2+60t represents the height of the rocket, g(t), t seconds after it was launched. What is the maximum height the rocket reaches?
--------
g(t)= -16t^2+60t is a parabola.
Max height is at the vertex.
The vertex is at t = -b/2a
Solve for t, then find g(t).
