Quadratics Pre-assessment

What algebraic term are you solving for if the word problem is: The equation for leaping off a cliff is h = -16t² + 8t +24.  How long will it take for you to hit the maximum height?

• Roots (Solutions)

• Axis of Symmetry

• Vertex

• y-intercept

What was the maximum height of the water? Choose the key feature and the answer.

• y-intercept, 0 feet

• x-value of the vertex, 2 feet

• y-value of the vertex 10 feet

• x-intercept. 3.85 feet

How do I find the y-value of the vertex?

• factor

• x = -b / 2a gives you the y-value of the vertex

• find x = -b / 2a and then plug in for x and solve for y.

• find -b / 2a and then plug in for y and solve for x.

Use the graph to determine the X-intercepts

• (-1,0) and (-3,0)

• (1,0) and (3,0)

• (0,1) and (0,3)

• (0,-1) and (0,-3)
