Question

This question is not about solving the stated problem, but about understanding it.

A rocket is launched, and its height above sea level t seconds after launch is given by the equation h(t)=−4.9t2+1100t+410h(t)=-4.9t2+1100t+410.

a) From what height was the rocket launched?

To answer this question, we'd find: Select an answer: The t intercept, The h intercept, The t coordinate of the vertex, The h coordinate of the vertex 

b) What is the maximum height the rocket reaches?

To answer this question, we'd find: Select an answer: The t intercept, The h intercept, The t coordinate of the vertex, The h coordinate of the vertex 

c) If the rocket will splash down in the ocean, when will it splash down?

To answer this question, we'd find: Select an answer: The t intercept, The h intercept ,The t coordinate of the vertex, The h coordinate of the vertex
