Asked by Ann
.A toy rocket is shot vertically into the air from a launching pad 5 feel above the ground with an initial velocity of 72 feet per second. The height h, in
feet, of the rocket above the ground as t seconds after launch is given by the function h(t)=-16t^2+72t+5. How long will it take the rocket to reach its maximum height? What is the maximum height?

the max height is at the vertex of the parabola. You know that for at^2+bt+c, the vertex is at t = -b/2a.
Then use that to find h of the vertex.
Then use that to find h of the vertex.
