Quadratic and Projectile Motion Concepts

The video tutorial covers solving quadratic equations by finding x-values when y equals zero, graphing transformations of parabolas, setting up quadratic equations with given x-intercepts, determining intersections with the x-axis using the quadratic formula, and calculating the time for an object in projectile motion to reach the ground.

For the equation y = x^2 - 3x - 4, what are the x-values where y equals zero?

• x = 0 and x = 3

• x = 1 and x = -4

• x = 2 and x = -2

• x = -1 and x = 4

What transformation occurs to the graph of y = x^2 to become y = -x^2 + 3?

• Reflection over the y-axis and shift up

• Reflection over the x-axis and shift down

• Reflection over the x-axis and shift up

• Reflection over the y-axis and shift down

Which quadratic function has x-intercepts at 4 and -3?

• 2(x + 4)(x - 3)

• 2(x - 4)(x + 3)

• (x + 4)(x - 3)

• (x - 4)(x + 3)

How many times does the graph of y = 2x^2 - 2x + 3 intersect the x-axis?

• Twice

• Three times

• Once

• None

What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation 2x^2 - 2x + 3?

• -20

• 0

• 20

If an object is projected downward with an initial velocity of 10 ft/s from a height of 84 ft, how long will it take to reach the ground?

• 3 seconds

• 4 seconds

• 2 seconds

• 1 second

What is the initial velocity of the object in the projectile motion problem?

• 15 ft/s

• 10 ft/s

• 20 ft/s

• 5 ft/s

In the context of projectile motion, what does the term 's' represent?

• Acceleration

• Time

• Distance

• Speed

What is the formula used to calculate the time it takes for the object to reach the ground in the projectile motion problem?

• s = vt + 8t^2

• s = vt - 8t^2
