Question: The function ( v ( t ) = - g t - k L N left ( 1 - frac { r

The function \( v(t)=-g t-k L N\left(1-\frac{r}{m} t\right)\) models the velocity of a rocket shooting skyward in meters per second where \( t \) represents seconds since launch. What function models the rocket's height (position relative to launch pad)?
For the curious, \( m \) represents initial mass of fuel in kilograms, \( r \) represents the rate of fuel burn in kilograms per second, \( k \) represents the velocity of the exhaust gases in meters per second, and \( g \) is the usual constant for acceleration due to gravity. In other words, \( m, r, k \), and \( g \) are constants.
The function \ ( v ( t ) = - g t - k L N \ left (
