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 + 1200t + 470. a) From what height was the rocket launched? To answer this question, we'd find: Select an answer b) What is the maximum height the rocket reaches? To answer this question, we'd find: Select an answer 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
