Question

question 17 let h(t) be the height above ground, in feet, of a rocket t seconds after launching. explain the meaning of each statement: a. h(2)=150. the rocket is 150 feet above the ground after 2 seconds. the rocket is 2 feet above the ground after 150 seconds. b. h(5)=300. the rocket is 5 feet above the ground after 300 seconds. the rocket is 300 feet above the ground after 5 seconds. question help: message instructor

Explanation:

The function $h(t)$ represents the height of the rocket at time $t$. When we substitute a value for $t$ into the function, the result is the height of the rocket at that time. For $h(2)=150$, we substitute $t = 2$ seconds into the height - function $h(t)$ and get a height of 150 feet. For $h(5)=300$, we substitute $t = 5$ seconds into $h(t)$ and get a height of 300 feet.

Answer:

a. The rocket is 150 feet above the ground after 2 seconds.
b. The rocket is 300 feet above the ground after 5 seconds.
