A fireworks rocket is launched from a hill above a lake. The rocket will fall into the lake after exploding at its maximum height. The rocket's height above the surface of the lake is given by g(x)=-16x2 + 64x + 80. How many seconds will it take the rocket to hit the lake?
5 seconds

In an effort to catch a criminal; a superhero is going to leap over a building and take a short cut down the ally. The function f(x) = -16x2 + 150x gives the superhero's height in feet as a function of time. The building is 425 feet high. Will the superhero make it over the building?
Nope, his max height would be approx. 351 feet
