check the picture below. So the rocket reaches its height at its vertex.


the rocket is being launched from the ground, and therefor its initial height is 0, thus

\\\\\\
h(t)=-16t^2+352t+0 " src="

so we can get the vertex coordinates by using its coefficients, how many "t" seconds will it take? well, that'd be the x-coordinate of its vertex.
