2. Write 3 quadratic functions, one where the discriminant is positive, one negative and one zero. Describe (not find) the x-intercepts of the function. | I ^

3. By completing the square, determine the vertex of this parabola. y = 3x - 5 x - 1 3

4. Solve this equation by using the quadratic formula by hand. (2x^3)(x + 4) = x - 1

5. A rock is throAvn into the air, leaving the person's hand 7 feet above the ground. The following equation shows the relationship between its height above the ground at any time. h = -16t^ + 60t + 7 A) Verify that at time to (that is, t = 0, the "initial time") the rock is J-lbpt above the ground.
