7. While marching, a drum major tosses a baton into the air and catches it. The height h (in feet) of the

baton t seconds after it is thrown can be modeled by the function h = -16t + 32t +6=0. What will the
maximum height of the baton be?

8. Write (-2 5i) (-4+ 2i) as a complex number in standard form.

9. Write (-4 + 5i)(5 i)as a complex number in standard form.

10. State the formula for the discriminant and explain how it determines the number and type of
solutions to a quadratic equation.

Solve the system of equations.

11.

3X + y + 30X= -71
3X-17=y

Graph the system of quadratic inequalities.

12. y - X > -4
y = -2X + 7X + 4

13. A toy rocket is fired straight into the air. The rocket has an initial velocity of 48 feet per

second and its height is modeled by the equation h(t)= -16t + 480t, where h is the
height (in feet) and t is the time (in seconds). At what time will the toy rocket reach its
maximum height? Show how you arrived at the solution.

14. To begin a basketball game, a referee must toss the ball vertically into the air. This

h t 16t 2 22t 6,
process can be modeled by the equation
where h represents
the balls height (in feet) after t seconds. Determine the time interval (in seconds) in
which the height of the basketball is greater than 8 feet. Round your answer to the nearest
thousandth of a second. Show how you arrived at the solution.
