- In the following exercises, solve 462. Jing is going to throw a ball from the balcony of her condo. When she throws the ball from 80 feet above the ground, the function h(t)=16t2+64t+80 models the height, h, of the ball above the ground as a function of time, t. Find: (a) the zeros of this function which tells us when the ball will hit the ground. (b) the time(s) the ball will be 128 feet above the ground. (c) the height the ball will be at t=4 seconds.arrow_forwardIn the following exercises, solve. 333. Juli is going to launch a model rocket in her back yard. When she launches the rocket, the function h(t)=16t2+32t models the height, h, of the rocket above the ground as a function of time, t. Find: (a) the zeros of this function which tells us when the rocket will hit the ground. (b) the time the rocket will be 16 feet above the ground.arrow_forwardHow can you use the discriminant when you are graphing a quadratic function?arrow_forward
- How does the graph of the absolute value function compare to the graph of the quadratic function, y=x2 , in terms of increasing and decreasing intervals?arrow_forwardIn the following exercises, for each function, find: (a) the zeros of the function (b) the x-intercepts of the graph of the function (c) the y-intercept of the graph of the function. 318. f(x)=25x249arrow_forwardIn the following exercises, solve. Round answers to the nearest tenth. 286. A veterinarian is enclosing a rectangular outdoor running area against his building for the dogs he cares for. He needs to maximize the area using 100 feet of fencing. The quadratic function A(x)=x(1002x) gives the area, A, of the dog run for the length, x, of the building that will border the dog run. Find the length of the building that should border the dog run to give the maximum area, and then find the maximum area of the dog run.arrow_forward
- In the following exercises, solve. Round answers to the nearest tenth. 287. A land owner is planning to build a fenced in rectangular patio behind his garage, using his garage as one of the "walls." He wants to maximize the area using 80 feet of fencing. The quadratic function A(x)=x(802x) gives the area of the patio, where x is the width of one side. Find the maximum area of the patio.arrow_forwardWhat is another name for the standard form of aquadratic function?arrow_forwardExplain why the condition of a0 is imposed inthe de?nition of the quadratic function.arrow_forward
