Quadratic Equations

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?

You jump off a 24 foot high cliff and your fall is modeled by the function:

h(t) = -16t² + 8t + 24

How long would it take you to hit the water?

• 8 seconds

• 1 second

• 1.5 seconds

• 1/4 second

The solutions of the quadratic equation 
x²+2x-15=0 are

• x = 3 or x = 5

• x = 5 or x = -3

• x = -5 or x = 3

• x = -3 or x = -5
