It should be a graph with a horizontal line passing through 4 on the y axis

Graph 1 is y = 4.

You can tell this because no matter what point you pick on that line, the ordered pair will contain the number 4 for y. You can also tell because y = a number graphs are always horizontal lines.

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)=−4.9t2+121t

NASA launches a rocket at t = 0 seconds. Its height, in meters above sea-level, as a function of time is given by

$h(t)=-4.9t^2+121t+283$

The sea level is represented by h = 0, therefore, to find the corresponding time when h splashes into the ocean we have to solve for t the following equation:

$h(t)=0\implies-4.9t^2+121t+283=0$

Using the quadratic formula, the solution for our problem is

$\begin{gathered} t=\frac{-(121)\pm\sqrt{(121)^2-4(-4.9)(283)}}{2(-4.9)} \\ =\frac{121\pm142.083778...}{9.8} \\ =\frac{121+142.083778...}{9.8} \\ =26.8452834694... \end{gathered}$

The rocket splashes after 26.845 seconds.

The maximum of this function happens at the root of the derivative. Differentiating our function, we have
