Its height, y metres above ground, t seconds after launch, can be modelled by a quadratic function y = f( t). Four seconds after launch, the object reached its maximum height of 81 m and then dropped to a height of 54 m after a further three seconds. (a) Find the initial height of the object when it was launched.

[2] Since the line of symmetry is t = 4, the object was at height 54 at t = 1. Length of time = 23 = 6 seconds
