The height, in feet, of an object shot upwards into the air with an initial velocity, in feet per second, of v_i, after t seconds is given by the formula:

Part 1: Create the equation for the height of the rocket after t seconds.

Part 2: Find the time it takes for the rocket to reach a height of 0 using factoring. Interpret both solutions.

Part 3: Find the time it takes to reach the top of its trajectory. Note: You must use the vertex formula for this calculation. Calculus is NOT allowed. 

Part 4: Find the maximum height.

Part 5: Find the time it takes to reach a height of 1850 feet using the quadratic formula. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
