The height of a rocket, in feet, t seconds after it is released, is modeled by h of t is equal to negative 16t squared plus 32t plus 10 What does t represent?

In the model h(t) = −16t² + 32t + 10, h(t) represents the rocket’s height, while t is the input measured in seconds. The question defines t as the time after the rocket is released, so the correct choice is D, the number of seconds after the rocket is released.
