Suraj watched a hovercraft take off from a platform. The height of the hovercraft (in meters above the ground) t

Suraj wants to know when the hovercraft will reach its highest point.
1) Rewrite the function in a different form (factored or vertex) where the answer appears as a number in the equation.
h
(
t
)
=
h(t)=h, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis, equals

2) How many minutes after takeoff did the hovercraft reach its highest point?

minutes
