Real-life Model 

VELOCITY The velocity v in feet per second of a freely falling object that has fallen h feet can be represented by  v = 8  $\sqrt{h}$     . Find the distance that an object has fallen if its velocity is 96 feet per second.

Multiple Choice

$$96=8\sqrt{h}$$  

Solve the radical equations

• 12

• $$\sqrt{12}$$  

• 144

Solve:

 $12\ =\sqrt{h\ }\ ,\ \sqrt{12\ .\ 12\ }=\sqrt{144\ }=12$  

Multiple Choice

Solve :

$$\left(\sqrt{y-2}\right)^2\ =\ \left(6\right)^2$$  

• $$y-2=12\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y=14$$  

• $$y-2=36\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y=38$$  

• $$y-2=36\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y=34$$  

Fill in the Blank

Check

$$\sqrt{y-2\ }\ \ -1\ =\ 5\ \ \ \ \ \ y=38$$  

Multiple Choice

what do you think is the next step??

Multiple Choice
