Interpreting Quadratics

The graph represents the height of a rocket that is launched from the top of a building. Which statement best describes the path of the rocket?

• The rocket reached the ground between 2.25 seconds and 2.5 seconds.

• The rocket was below 34 feet between 0.25 seconds and 1 second

• The rocket reached its maximum between 1 second and 1.25 seconds.

• The rocket descended 8 feet between 1.5 seconds and 1.75 seconds.

The graph below shows h, the height i meters of a model rocket, versus t, the time in seconds after the rocket is launched. From the graph, what conclusion con be made about the flight of the rocket?

• The rocket reaches its maximum height after 2.5 seconds

• At 0 seconds the rocket was 2 meters off the ground

• The height of the rocket was 0 meters when it was launched

• The rocket was in flight for 5 seconds
