Pablo and max's follows a flight pattern approximately modeled by the equation h(t)= -8t^2+16t+2 where h(t)is their rocket's height in meters t seconds after launch. 1. How many seconds was their rocket in the air? 2. How many seconds after the launch did their rocket reach it maximum height?
3. What was their rocket's maximum height in meters?
4. How many meters tall was the launch platform ?

The rocket reached its maximum height at 2 seconds.

The maximum height of the rocket is 36 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic equation:

In the format

The maximum height happens at the instant of time:

The maximu height is

In this question:

So

When did the rocket reach its maximum height?

The rocket reached its maximum height at 2 seconds.

What was the maximum height of the rocket?

H(2).

The maximum height of the rocket is 36 yards.
