• Roots (Solutions)
• Axis of Symmetry
• Vertex
• y-intercept

What algebraic term are you solving for if the word problem is: Members of the math club launch a model rocket from ground level with an initial velocity of 96 ft/sec. This can be modeled with the function h(t) = -16t² + 96t. When does the rocket land?

• x-intercept

• y -intercept

• vertex
