Problems

Example:

Jason jumped off a cliff into the ocean in Acapulco while


vacationing with some friends. His height as a function of time
could be modeled by the function h(t) = -16t2 + 16t + 480 , where
t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet.

What is the vertex in context?

When does he hit the water?

Extensions Sometimes you will need to find points that happen


within the graph.

A rock is thrown from the top of a tall building. The


distance, in feet, between the rock and the ground x
seconds after it is thrown is given by f(x) = -16x2 – 4x +
382. How long after the rock is thrown is it 340 feet
from the ground?
Sometimes you will be asked to apply what you know…

In an effort to catch a criminal, a superhero is going to


leap over a building and take a short cut down the ally.
The function f(x) = -16x2 + 150x gives the superhero’s
height in feet as a function of time. Will the superhero
make it over the building if the building is 425 ft high?
(Be sure to support your answer with some math!)

1. (𝑥 − 9)(5𝑥 + 2) = 0 2. x2 – 9 = 36

3. 4x2 + 9x = 12

You try:
1) x2 + 40 = 0 2) -2x2 – 10x – 21 = 0

3) 5(x – 2)2 – 45 = 0 4) (2x – 1)(x + 8) = 0

5) 2x2 + 7x + 3 = 12 6) ¾x2 = 48

7) x2 +6x = -9
