A rocket is shot straight up into the air. If f(t)

represents the height in feet of the rocket at time, t
, seconds and g(t)
is a constant function that represents the height of a platform, what situation can be described by (f+g)(t)
? Include a description of the domain of (f+g)(t)
.

The expression \((f+g)(t)\) describes the total height of the rocket above the ground at time \(t\), where \(f(t)\) represents the height of the rocket above the launch point and \(g(t)\) represents the constant height of a platform, with the domain of \((f+g)(t)\) being \(t \geq 0\) seconds, corresponding to the time after the rocket is launched.
