An apple is launched directly upward at 64 ft/sec from a balcony standing 80 feet off the ground. Write a quadratic function that shows the height of the apple in terms of time. 

Hint: This is a projectile motion problem. 

h = -16t2 +64t + 80.

A pineapple is kicked from the ground. The equation -16t+90t shows the height of the pineapple after t seconds. Find the maximum height the pineapple reached.

126.56 feet. 

300

Will the parabola with an a value of -3 have a vertex with a max or min? 

Max

300

Compare f(x) and g(x) Which minimum value is greater? 

g(x) = 6x2-12x-13

f(x) = (1,-20)

g(x) = (3,-4)


so, g(x) has a greater minimum value. (-4 is greater than -20)
