A height of a model rocket t seconds after being launched is given by 

h(t)=-16t^2+128t

How long is the rocket in the air?

The rocket is in the air for 8 seconds. (The height of the rocket is 0 feet for t = 0 and t = 8 seconds. This means the rocket is in the air 8 seconds before returning to the ground.)
