[size=150]The equation [math]h\left(t\right)=2+30t-5t^2[/math] represents the height, as a function of time, of a pumpkin that was [br]catapulted up in the air. Height is measured in meters and time is measured in seconds.[/size][br][br][size=100]The pumpkin reached a maximum height of 47 meters. How many seconds after launch did that happen? Show your reasoning.[/size]
Suppose someone was unconvinced by your solution. Find another way (besides the steps you already took) to show your solution is correct.[br]
[size=150]The equation [math]r\left(p\right)=80p-p^2[/math] models the revenue a band expects to collect as a function of the price of one concert ticket. Ticket prices and revenues are in dollars.[br][/size][br][size=100]A band member says that a ticket price of either $15.50 or $74.50 would generate approximately $1,000 in revenue. Do you agree? Show your reasoning.[/size]
[size=150]Function [math]g[/math] is defined by the equation [math]g\left(t\right)=2+30t-5t^2-47[/math]. Its graph opens downward.[br][/size][br]Find the zeros of function [math]g[/math] without graphing. Show your reasoning.
Explain or show how the zeros you found can tell us the vertex of the graph of [math]g[/math].[br]
Study the expressions that define functions [math]g[/math] and [math]h[/math] (which defined the height of the pumpkin). Explain how the maximum of function [math]h[/math], once we know it, can tell us the maximum of [math]g[/math].[br]

[size=150]Lin says she can tell that [math]25x^2+40x+16[/math] and [math]49x^2-112x+64[/math] are perfect squares because each expression has the following characteristics, which she saw in other perfect squares in standard form:[/size][list][size=150][*]The first term is a perfect square. The last term is also a perfect square.[/*][*]If we multiply a square root of the first term and a square root of the last term and then double the product, the result is the middle term.[/*][/size][/list][size=100]Show that each expression has the characteristics Lin described.[br][/size]
Write each expression in factored form.
[size=150]What are the solutions to the equation [math]2x^2-5x-1=0[/math]?[/size]
Solve each equation by rewriting the quadratic expression in factored form and using the zero product property, or by completing the square. Then, check if your solutions are correct by using the quadratic formula.
[math]x^2+11x+24=0[/math]
[math]4x^2+20x+25=0[/math]
[math]x^2+8x=5[/math]
