Step-by-step explanation:

The T-shirt is launched with an initial upward velocity of 60 ft/s from a height of 5 feet. Its equation of motion is given by :

f(x) = -12x^2 + 60x + 5 ....(1)

(a) For maximum height, put \dfrac{df(x)}{dt}=0

So,

\dfrac{ d(-12x^2 + 60x + 5)}{dt}=-24x+60

Now put,

-24x+60=0\\\\x=2.5\ s

So, the time taken for the T-shirt to reach maximum height is 2.5 seconds.

(b) Put x = 2.5 s in equation (1)

f(x=2.5) = -12(2.5)^2 + 60(2.5) + 5\\\\f(x)=80\ \text{feet}
