Solve each quadratic. AKA: Find the solutions. Find the x-intercepts. Find the Roots. Find the Zeros. Find where
y=0.
You may use factoring, completing the square, solving with square roots OR Quadratic Formula. You must use each
method at least once.

25. A toy cannon ball is launched from a cannon on top of a platform. The equation h(t) = -5t 2 + 15t + 10 gives
the height h, in meters, of the ball t seconds after it is launched.

a. Will the ball reach a height of 24m? How do you know? Explain

b. How long will it take the ball to land back on the ground?

c. What is the initial height of the toy cannon?

30. Juan solved the problem below by completing the square. Circle the step where the mistake was made, then solve the
problem correctly.
In which step did he make a mistake? Circle your answer.

Problem: x2 + 8x + 24 = 0
Step 1: x2 + 8x = -24
Step 2: x2 + 8x + 16 = -24 + 16
Step 3: (x + 8) 2 = -8

Step 4: x + 8 = ± 2 i√2

Step 5: x = -8 ± 2 i √ 2
