At time t = 0, a projectile was fired upward
from an initial height of 10 feet. Its height
after t seconds is given by the function
h(t) = p − 10(q − t) 2 , where p and q are
positive constants. If the projectile reached
a maximum height of 100 feet when t = 3,
then what was the height, in feet, of the
projectile when t = 4 ?
