Answer:

The maximun height that the rocket will reach is 3150 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem requieres that we maximize the function. For this we need the function to be of the form:

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

We already have that covered, as the height of the rocket is represented by:

h(t)=-14t^2+420t

We start calculating the derivative of h(t), wich is:

h'(t)=-28t+420

We need to remember that the derivative of a function represents the slope of said function at a given point. The maximum value of the function will have a slope equal to zero.

So we find the value in wich the derivative equals zero:

0=-28t+420\\28t=420\\t=\frac{420}{28}\\t=15

This means that 15 seconds is the time at wich the rocket will reach it's maximum height.

We replace this value in the original equation to solve the problem:

h(15)=(-14)(15^2)+(420)(15)\\h(15)=-3150+6300\\h(15)=3150

With this we can conclude that the maximum height the rocket will reach is 3150 ft.
