Explanation:
To find the time it takes the T-shirt to reach its maximum height, we need to find the value of t when the velocity of the T-shirt is zero, because at this point the T-shirt has reached its maximum height and starts falling back down. We can find the velocity of the T-shirt by taking the derivative of the height equation with respect to time:
v(t) = h'(t) = 72
The velocity of the T-shirt is a constant 72 feet per second, so it will never reach a velocity of zero and will never reach its maximum height. The T-shirt will keep going up indefinitely.
If the problem had specified that the T-shirt was launched with an initial upward velocity of -72 feet per second (meaning it was launched downward), then we could have found the time it takes the T-shirt to reach its maximum height by setting v(t) = 0 and solving for t. In this case, we would find that t = 1, so it would take the T-shirt 1 second to reach its maximum height. The maximum height would be h(1) = -16 + 72(1) + 6 = 62 feet.
