66. Height of a Toy Rocket A toy rocket is launched from the top of a building 50 feet tall at an initial velocity of 200 feet per second. Let t represent the amount of time elapsed after the launch. (a) Express the height s as a function of the time t. (b) Determine both analytically and graphically the time at which the rocket reaches its highest point. How high will it be at that time? (c) For what time interval will the rocket be more than 300 feet above ground level? Determine the answer graphically, and give times to the nearest tenth of a second. (d) After how many seconds will the rocket hit the ground? Determine the answer graphically.
