Solve for x. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

3x² = 16x + 12

• x = -0.67 and x = 6

• x = -6 and x = 0.67

• x = 3.33 and x = 18

• x = -3.33 and x = 18

Heather dropped a water balloon over the side of her school building from a height of 80 feet. The approximate height of the balloon at any point during its fall can be represented by the following quadratic equation:

h = -16t² + 80

About how long did it take for the balloon to hit the ground?

• 1.73 seconds

• 2.24 seconds

• 2.45 seconds

• 2.83 seconds

Rafael drops a ball from a third-story window. This equation represents the approximate height, h, in meters, of the ball above the ground after it falls for t seconds.

h = -5t² + 45

When is the ball at ground level?

• only at t = 0 seconds

• only at t = 3 seconds

• only at t = 9 seconds

• at both t = 0 seconds and t = 3 seconds
