1.

Antoine stands on a balcony and throws a ball to his dog, who is at ground
level.

The ball's height (in meters above the ground), x seconds after Antoine threw
it, is modeled by:

2
ℎ(𝑥) =− 2𝑥 + 4𝑥 + 16

How many seconds after being thrown will the ball hit the ground?

2. A hovercraft takes off from a platform. Its height (in meters), x seconds after
takeoff, is modeled by:

2
ℎ(𝑥) =− 2𝑥 + 20𝑥 + 48

How many seconds after takeoff will the hovercraft reach its maximum
height?

3. The power generated by an electrical circuit (in watts) as a function of its

current x (in amperes) is modeled by:

2
𝑃(𝑥) =− 12𝑥 + 120𝑥

What current will produce the maximum power?

4. An object is launched from a platform.

Its height (in meters), x seconds after the launch, is modeled by:

2
ℎ(𝑥) =− 5𝑥 + 20𝑥 + 60

What is the height of the object at the time of launch?

5. Marquise has 200 meters of fencing to build a rectangular garden.

The garden's area (in square meters) as a function of the garden's width x (in
meters) is modeled by:

2
𝐴(𝑥) =− 𝑥 + 100𝑥

What is the maximum area possible?
