Answer:
Smax = 676 ft
the maximum altitude (height) the rocket will attain during its flight is 676 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
The height function S(t) of the rocket as;
S(t) = -16t2 + 208t
The maximum altitude Smax, will occur at dS/dt = 0
differentiating S(t);
dS/dt = -32t + 208 = 0
-32t +208 = 0
32t = 208
t = 208/32
t = 6.5 seconds.
The maximum altitude Smax is;
Substituting t = 6.5 s
Smax = -16(6.5)^2 + 208(6.5)
Smax = 676 ft
the maximum altitude (height) the rocket will attain during its flight is 676 ft
