A rocket is fired upward from some initial distance above the ground. Its height (in feet), h, above the ground t seconds after it is fired is given by h(t) 16t² + 160t + 896. What is the rocket's maximum height? 12 feet = How long does it take for the rocket to reach its maximum height? 5 seconds After it is fired, the rocket reaches the ground at t= seconds
