CONFIRM ON GRAPHING CALCULATOR

• First, graph both functions

• TI-84 - 2nd , Calc, Intersection
• TI-Nspire - Menu, Analyze
Graph, Intersection
YOUR TURN
• Solve algebraically and
verify your answer with
graphing calculator.

The solutions are (1, -5) and (5, -1).

WHY DO WE STUDY ABOUT LINEAR-
QUADRATIC EQUATION?

• The owners of a circus are planning a new act. They want to have a trapeze artist catch
another acrobat in mid-air as the second performer comes into the main tent on a zip-line. If
the path of the trapeze can be modeled by the parabola y = + 16 and the path of the zip-line
can be modeled by y = 2x + 12, at what point can the trapeze artist grab the second acrobat?

• A ball is launched into the air from the ground with an initial vertical velocity of 64 ft/sec. At
the same time a balloon is released from a height of 40 feet, and it rises at the rate of 8
ft/sec. Write and solve a system of equations to determine when the ball and the balloon
are at the same height?

a balloon is released from a height of 40 feet, and it rises at the rate of 8 ft/sec. Write and solve a system
of equations to determine when the ball and the balloon are at the same height?
• h(t) = -16 + 64t
• h(t) = 8t + 40
• t = 2.5 or t = 1
