Given the equation:


h=-16t^2+48t

Where (h) represents the height of the rocket, and (t) is the time

We will find when the rocket will be at the ground level

The ground will be at the ground level when (h=0), which means the x-intercepts of the given graph

As shown: the graph has two points of x-intercepts

The points are (0, 0) and (3, 0)

So, the answer will be:

The rocket is at ground level at ( 0 ) seconds and ( 3 ) seconds.
