21. A toy rocket is fired straight into the air. The rocket has an initial velocity of
48 feet per second and its height is modeled by the equation h(t ) = 48t − 16t 2 ,
where h is the height (in feet) and t is the time (in seconds). At what time will
the toy rocket reach its maximum height?

22. A carpenter is cutting a board to make a brace on a wall that will be used in
a house. The shape of the brace will be a right triangle. In order for the brace
to fit, the legs of the brace must be in a ratio of 3:2. The hypotenuse must be
26 inches long. What will the lengths of the legs be? Round your answers to
the nearest tenth of an inch.
