When a stone is thrown vertically upwards, its distance d metres after t seconds is given by the formula \(d = 60t - 10t^{2}\). Draw the graph of \(d = 60t - 10t^{2}\) for values of t from 1 to 5 seconds using 2cm to 1 unit on the t- axis and 2cm to 20 units on the d- axis. (a) Using your graph, (i) how long does it take to reach a height of 70 metres? (ii) determine the height of the stone after 5 seconds. (iii) after how many seconds does it reach its maximum height. (b) Determine the slope of the graph when t = 4 seconds.
