The dependent variable is the vertical distance that the rocket travels in meters and is denoted by the variable h. c. Since the maximum height of the rocket is 192 meters after 8 seconds, the vertex of the parabola that represents this relationship is (8, 192). Substitute 8 and 192 into the general form for a parabola, f (x) a (x h)2 k. h (t) ................
