1. Question: Composition
The height of a ball in feet is modeled by f ( x )=16 x 2+ 80 x , where x is
the time in seconds after it is hit. Create a table of values for the
function and graph the coordinates on a Cartesian plane. Identify the
vertex and the x-axis intercepts. Write a paragraph explaining the
graph at the x-intercepts and at the vertex.

Question: Composition
Axel was given the function h ( t ) =16 t 2 +50 , h is the height above
ground (in feet) of a water balloon t seconds after being dropped from
a roof 50 ft. above the ground. He was asked to find how long it took
for the balloon to fall 20 feet. Axel used the equation 16 t 2 +50=20 to
solve the problem. What was his error? Explain in words what was
Axels mistake and why?
