[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The vertex form of a quadratic equation (y = a(x-h)^2 + k) allows you to quickly identify the maximum value of its graph, as the vertex of the parabola corresponds to the maximum (or minimum) value of the quadratic function. By analyzing the values of h and k in the vertex form, you can easily determine the maximum height reached by the toy rocket during its flight.
