Parts A and B
\nHere, the question takes you throught the stages needed to find the solution. The reason we differentiate is that the derivative of a function tells us its gradient at a given point, and we want to find where the function has gradient zero because when the gradient is zero we either have a maximum or a minimum point.
\nPart C
\nThe first part of this question is similar to parts A and B. The tricky bit is the second part! You need to work out the value of $t$ that produces the maximum piont but that is not the final answer - you need to use that value of $t$ to find the maximum height, which you do by substituting $t$ into the original function to find $y$.
