Solve for x.  Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
2x² - 5x = 3

• x = -.5, 3

• x = -3, .5

• x = 1, 1.5

• x = -1, 1.5

The function f(t) = -5t²+20t + 60 models the approximate height of an object t seconds after it is launched. How many seconds does it take the object to hit the ground?

• 4 seconds

• -2 seconds

• 6 seconds

• 9 seconds

If a toy rocket is launched vertically upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 128 feet per second, then its height h after t seconds is given by the equation
h(t) = -16t² +128t  
When will the object reach its maximum height?

• 4 ft

• 0 seconds

• 0 ft

• 4 seconds

Rafael drops a ball from a third-story window. This equation represents the approximate height, h, in meters, of the ball above the ground after it falls for t seconds.
h = -5t² + 45 
When is the ball at ground level?

• only at t = 0 seconds 

• only at t = 3 seconds

• only at t = 9 seconds

• at both t = 0 seconds and t = 3 seconds

Alain throws a stone off a bridge into a river below. The stone's height (in meters above the water), x seconds after Alain threw it, is modeled by:

h(x)= -5x² + 10x + 15

How many seconds after being thrown will the stone hit the water?

• -1 seconds

• 1 second

• 2 seconds

• 3 seconds
