Lesson Title : Solve Problems Involving Quadratic Inequalities

Learning Target : To solve problems involving quadratic inequalities

Real-Life Application: Physics

A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 56 feet per second. The distance d
(in feet) of the ball from the ground after t seconds is d(t) = 56t – 8t2. At what time will the ball
hit the ground? For how many seconds t will the ball be more than 80 feet above the ground?

Guide Questions:
• How is your knowledge about quadratic inequalities useful in solving the given problem?
• In what real-life situations do you think quadratic inequalities are also applicable?

Meaningful Verbal Learning

Solution: To determine how many seconds it will take the ball to be more than 80 feet above the
ground, the given equation should be written as an inequality.

56t – 8t2 > 80

56t – 8t2 – 80 > 0 (-, 2) (2, 5) (5, +)
- 8t2 + 56t – 80 > 0
t2 – 7t + 10 < 0
(t – 5)(t – 2) < 0 2 5
t – 5 = 0 or t – 2 = 0 Let t = 1 Let t = 3 Let t = 6
t=5 t=2 (t – 5)(t – 2) < 0 (t – 5)(t – 2) < 0 (t – 5)(t – 2) < 0
(1 – 5)(1 – 2) < 0 (3 – 5)(3 – 2) < 0 (6 – 5)(6 – 2) < 0
Critical Points: 5 and 2 (-4)(-1) < 0 (-2)(1) < 0 (1)(4) < 0
4<0 F -2 < 0 T 4<0 F

 The ball will be more than 80 feet high between 2 seconds and 5 seconds.
