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. [4] (b) Without solving a quadratic equation, explain and determine how long did the object stay above 54 m? [2]
