Question 1
1.
Question: How many of you felt like Martha when you tried to complete this assignment?
Question 2
2.
How many seconds did it take for the ball to reach the maximum height? (round to the nearest tenths place)--
HINT: (this is just asking for the x coordinate of the vertex point, so evaluate -b/2a..that will be your answer)
Question 3
3.
What is the maximum height of the ball? (round to the nearest tenths place)
Now take the number you got for the x-coordinate of the vertex in number 1 and substitute into the equation...that will give you the y-coordinate of the vertex point...which will be the max height)
Question 4
4.
How long was the ball in the air? (round to the nearest tenths place)
(to find how long it is in the air, use quadratic formula...evaluate both the + and - versions of the answer. One of the answers will be positive...that will be your answer)
Question 5
5.
(to find how long it takes to reach the ground, use quadratic formula...evaluate both the + and - versions of the answer. One of the answers will be positive...that will be your answer)
