Problem 105
A video camera is focused on a rocket on a launching pad 2 miles from the camera. The angle of elevation from the ground to the rocket atter \(x\) secondsis \(\frac{\pi}{120} x\) a. Write a function expressing the altitude \(h(x),\) in miles, of the rocket above the ground after \(x\) seconds. Ignore the curvature of the Earth. b. Graph \(h(x)\) on the interval \((0,60)\) . c. Evaluate and interpret the values \(h(0)\) and \(h(30)\) . d. What happens to the values of \(h(x)\) as \(x\) approaches 60 seconds? Interpret the meaning of this in terms of the problem.
