Housing for Sale The following graph shows the number of housing starts for sale purposes in the United States during 2000–2008 together with a quadratic approximating model:
(t is the time in years since 2000.)5 At the same time, the homes being built were getting larger: The average area per home was approximately
Use the given models to estimate the total housing area under construction over the given period. (Use

- A path of a toy rocket thrown upward from the ground at a rate of 208 ft/sec is modeled by the quadratic function of. h(x)=16t2+208t. When will the rocket reach its maximum height? What will be the maximum height?arrow_forwardThe quadratic function f(x)=a(xh)2+k is in standard form. (a) The graph of f is a parabola with vertex(____,____). (b) If a > 0, graph of f opens _____. In this case f(h) = k is the _________value of f. (c) If a < 0, graph of f opens _____. In this case f(h) = k is the______valueof f.arrow_forwardSketch the graph of each quadratic function and compare it with the graph of y=x2. af(x)=14x2bg(x)=16x2ch(x)=52x2dk(x)=4x2arrow_forward
