I need help with this math problem?

A rocket is launched off the top of a school. The flight of the rocket can be modelled by the quadratic equation, H(t) = -4t2+22t+5, where t represents the time in seconds, and H(t) represents the height of the rocket at time t. To the nearest whole metre, how high is the rocket after 1 second?

    Solve for H(1):

    H(t) = -4t² + 22t + 5

    H(1) = -4(1)² + 22(1) + 5

    H(1) = -4(1) + 22(1) + 5

    H(1) = -4 + 22 + 5

    H(1) = 23 m

    You should probably read the question in the future.

    Just plug in the value 1 for each place there is a "t".
