The height h, in feet of a model rocket t seconds after launch is given by the equation h= 245t - 16t?. As the rocket descends, it deploys
a recovery parachute when it reaches 325 feet above the ground.
Express your final answer to the nearest tenth place.
What is the maximum height of the rocket?

h_max = 324.09 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation is;

h = 245t - 16t²

We are told that as the rocket descends, it deploys

a recovery parachute when it reaches 325 feet above the ground.

Thus;

245t - 16t² = 325

Thus;

16t² - 245t + 325 = 0

Using quadratic formula, we have the roots as;

t = 1.47s or 13.85s

We will pick the higher value.

Thus;

Maximum height will occur at t = 13.85 s

Thus, plugging in 13.85 for t into h = 245t - 16t², we have;

h_max = 245(13.85) - 16(13.85)²

h_max = 324.09 ft

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
