A group of students has designed a trebuchet, which they will use to fire water balloons at their professor. The height, in feet, of a water balloon launched by the students is given by the function y(t) 16t² + 49t +4, where t is the time in seconds. (Round all answers to the nearest tenth.) a) What would be a reasonable domain for this function? b) What would be a reasonable range for this function? b) What is the maximum height the water balloon will reach? c) At approximately what time is splash-down? = seconds feet
