NASA launches a rocket at t = 0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time is given by h(t) = -4.9t + 262t+ 108. Assuming that the rocket will splash down into the ocean, at what time does splashdown occur? Rounding to 3 decimal places, the rocket splashes down after seconds. Rounding to the nearest meter, how high above sea-level does the rocket get at its peak? The rocket peaks at meters above sea-level. NASA launches a rocket at t = 0 seconds.
