Algebra II Module 4.

3: Solving Linear-Quadratic Equations

1. How many points of intersection are on the graph?

2. How many points of intersection are there on the graph

Solve each given linear-quadratic system graphically. If necessary, round to the nearest
integer.
 Algebra II Module 4.3: Solving Linear-Quadratic Equations

Solve each linear-quadratic system algebraically.

16. The flight of a cannonball toward a hill is described by the parabola y = 2 + 0.12x - 0.002x 2 . The
hill slopes upward along a path given by y = 0.15x. Where on the hill does the cannonball land?

17. Amy throws a quarter from the top of a building at the same time that a balloon is released from
the ground. The equation describing the height y above ground of the quarter in feet is
y = 64 - 2x2 , where x is the time in seconds.
The equation describing the elevation of the balloon in feet is y = 6x + 8, where x is the time in
seconds. After how many seconds will the balloon and quarter pass each other?
Check your solution for reasonableness.
