Use a graphing utility to obtain the path of a projectile launched from the ground (h = 0) at the specified values of θ = 35°, v0 = 300 feet per second. In the exercise, use the graph to determine the maximum height and the time at which the projectile reaches its maximum height. Also use the graph to determine the range of the projectile and the time it hits the ground. Round all answers to the nearest tenth.

A classic physics problem states that if a projectile is shot vertically up into the air with an initial velocity of 146 feet per second from an initial height of 89 feet off the ground, then the height of the projectile, hh, in feet, tt seconds after it's shot is given by the equation:
h=−16t2+146t+89h=-16t2+146t+89
