A soccer ball is kicked from the ground with an initial upward velocity of 90 feet per second. The equation h=-16t² + 90t gives the height h of the ball after t seconds.
What is the maximum height of the ball?

• 126.56 ft

• 5.625 sec

• 2.81 sec

• 90 ft

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

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

If a toy rocket is launched vertically upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 128 feet per second, then its height h after t seconds is given by the equation
h(t) = -16t² +128t  
When will the object reach its maximum height?

• 4 ft

• 0 seconds

• 0 ft

• 4 seconds

A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 100 ft/s. Its height, h, after t seconds is given by the function
 h = -16t² + 64t + 960.
How many seconds did it take for the ball to reach its maximum height?

• 10 seconds

• 64 seconds

• 960 seconds

• 2 seconds

Alain throws a stone off a bridge into a river below. The stone's height (in meters above the water), x seconds after Alain threw it, is modeled by:

h(x)= -5x² + 10x + 15

How many seconds after being thrown will the stone hit the water?

• -1 seconds

• 1 second

• 2 seconds

• 3 seconds

Alain throws a stone off a bridge into a river below. The stone's height (in meters above the water), x seconds after Alain threw it, is modeled by:
h(x)= -5x² + 10x + 15
How long does it take the stone to reach its highest point?

• 1 seconds

• 1.5 seconds

• 2 seconds

• 3 seconds

Alain throws a stone off a bridge into a river below. The stone's height (in meters above the water), x seconds after Alain threw it, is modeled by:
h(x)= -5x² + 10x + 15
What is the maximum height of the stone?

• 15 meters

• 16.5 meters

• 20 meters

• 22.2 meters

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
