Quadratic Applications Warmup

How fast would you reach the water if you jump of a cliff using the formula:    h(t) = -16t² + 8t + 24?

• 8

• 1

• 1.5

• 1/4

The function
f(t) = -5t²+20t + 60 
models the approximate height of an object t seconds after it is launched. How many seconds does it take the object to hit the ground? 

• 4 seconds

• -2 seconds

• 6 seconds

• 9 seconds

An object in launched directly upward at 64 feet per second (ft/s) from a platform 80 feet high. Its height is represented by the equation s(t) = –16t² + 64t + 80. What will be the object's maximum height? 

• 2 ft

• 80 ft

• 144 ft

• 64 ft

A diver is standing on a platform above the pool. He jumps form the platform with an initi8al upward velocity of 8 ft/s. Use the formula h t = −16 t² + 8t + 24, where h is his height above the water, t is the time, v is his starting upward velocity, and s is his starting height. How high is the platform?

• .25 ft

• 24 ft

• 25 ft

• 8 ft

The function f(t) = -5t²+20t + 60 models the approximate height of an object t seconds after it is launched. How many seconds does it take the object to hit the ground? 

• 4 seconds

• -2 seconds

• 6 seconds

• 9 seconds

What is the vertex of y=x²+4x+3?

• (2,1)

• (-2,1)

• (0,0)

• (-2,-1)

If each mark on the x-axis represents one second, when did the object reach the ground?

• 2.5 seconds

• 6 seconds

• 5.5 seconds

• 5 seconds

If the graph shows price vs profit, what is the maximum profit? 

• 35

• 12,000

• 12,500

• 60

If I want to see the initial height/cost, I should _____________.

• Find the y-intercept. Substitute x = 0 into the equation and evaluate.

• Find the x-coordinate of the vertex.

• Find the y-coordinate of the vertex.

• Find the x-intercepts. Set my equation = 0 and solve.
