  • Ed is playing a round of golf when he takes a shot off of a tee. The height of the ball is modeled by the function: h(t) = -16t^2 + 112t. The time it will take before hitting the ground?
    7 seconds
  • The profit from selling local ballet tickets depends on the ticket price. Using past receipts, we find that the profit can be modeled by the function: p= -15x^2 +600x +60. What is the maximum profit you can make from selling tickets?
    $6060
  • You went to a haunted house on Halloween. The mummy scared you so much that you jumped into the air! The equation h = -4t^2 + 2t models her jump, in feet and t second after the mummy scares her. When did she reach her maximum height?
    0.25 seconds
  • A raft is dropped from a helicopter 256 feet in the air above the ocean. Its approximate height, h, after t seconds is given by the function h(t) = -16t^2 + 256. How many seconds did it take the raft to hit the water?
    4
  • Joe Mauer hits a fly ball. You can track the height of the ball using the function: h(t) = -16t^2 + 140t + 2. What was the starting height of the ball?
    2 feet
  • If path of a projectile is modeled by: h(t) = -16t^2 + 20t +6. What is the height after 1 second?
    10 feet
  • A ball is thrown vertically into the air. Its height in feet after t seconds is given by the function: h(t) = –5t^2 + 20t. How high will the ball be after 3 seconds?
    15 feet
  • If the graph shows price vs profit, what is the maximum profit?
    12500
