(3) If a projectile is launched into the air at 29.4 feet per second from a height of 60 feet,
its height (in feet) is given by S(x) = 60 + 29.4x − 9.8x2

, where x is in seconds.
Showing all working, determine:
(a) How long will it take the projectile reach its maximum height?
(b) What is the highest height that the projectile can attain?
