A rocket is launched in the air. Its height in feet is given by h, equals, minus, 16, t, squared, plus, 64, th=−16t

Question

2
+64t where tt represents the time in seconds after launch. What is the appropriate domain for this situation?

Answer 1

The appropriate domain for this situation would be all real numbers since time can be any positive or negative real number. However, in the context of this problem, the domain would be restricted to t≥0 since time cannot be negative in this scenario (you cannot have negative time).
