Suppose that an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second off the edge of a 960-foot cliff. The height h(t) in feet of the object after t seconds is given by the function h(t) = -16t ²+64t+960. Find the height of the object at t = 0 seconds t = 3 seconds t = 6 seconds t = 9 seconds Explain why the height of the object increases and then decreases as time passes

Suppose that an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second off the edge of a 960-foot cliff. The height h(t) in feet of the object after t seconds is given by the function h(t) = -16t ²+64t+960. Find the height of the object at
t = 0 seconds
t = 3 seconds
t = 6 seconds
t = 9 seconds
Explain why the height of the object increases and then decreases as time passes
