A toy rocket is shot vertically into the air from a launching pad
6
feet above the ground with an initial velocity of
160
feet per second. The height h, in feet, of the rocket above the ground at t seconds after launch is given by the function
h left parenthesis t right parenthesis equals negative 16 t squared plus 160 t plus 6h(t)=16t2+160t+6.
How long will it take the rocket to reach its maximum height? What is the maximum height?
