) The height h(t) in feet of a model rocket above the ground t seconds after
lift-off is given by h(t) = −t
2 +30t, for 0 ≤ t ≤ 30. When does the rocket reach its
maximum height above the ground? What is its maximum height?

Respuesta :

After 15 seconds rocket reaches to maximum height is 225 units.

What is Differentiation?

Differentiation means the rate of change of one quantity with respect to another. The speed is calculated as the rate of change of distance with respect to time.

Here, the given equation of height

            h(t) = -t² + 30t

             y = -t² + 30t

Now, on differentiating both side with respect to t, we get

        dy/dt = -2t + 30

put dy/dt = 0, we get

       0 = -2t + 30

        2t = 30

        t = 15

Now, at t = 15 sec. rocket reach at its maximum height.

maximum height at t = 15 sec is

     h(15) = -(15)² + 30(15)

     h(15) = -225 + 450

    h(15) = 225

Thus, after 15 seconds rocket reaches to maximum height is 225 units.
