Answer:

If a rocket (firework) is launched with an initial velocity of 39.2 meters per second at a height of 1.6 meters above the ground, the equation h = -4.9t2 + 39.2t + 1.6 represents the rocket's height h in meters after t seconds. The rocket will explode at approximately the highest point.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a rocket (firework) is launched

with an initial velocity of 39.2 meters per second at a height of 1.6 meters above

the ground, the equation h = -4.9t2

+ 39.2t + 1.6 represents the rocket’s height h in

meters after t seconds. The rocket will explode at approximately the highest point.

Fire official require the fireworks to explode at a height greater than 76 feet in

order for debris to land in Lake Michigan and not on the festival sight. The event

planners assured the fire officials that the fireworks would reach a height greater

than 76 feet
