NASA launches a rocket at t=0t=0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea level, as a function of time is given by h(t)= −4.9t2 + 337t +101. Assuming that the rocket will splash down into the ocean, at what time does splashdown occur? The rocket splashes down after how many seconds? The rocket peaks at how many meters above sea level?
