Flight of a Rocket Suppose a rocket is fired upward from the surface of the earth with an initial velocity v (measured in meters per second). Then the maximum height h (in meters) reached by the rocket is given by the function Rv2 h(v) = 2gR – v² where R = 6.4 × 10° m is the radius of the earth and g = 9.8 m/s? is the acceleration due to gravity. Use a graph- ing device to draw a graph of the function h. (Note that h and v must both be positive, so the viewing rectangle need not contain negative values.) What does the vertical asymptote represent physically?
