1. There are five different methods that can be used to solve for x, given a quadratic
equation [finding the x-intercepts of the parabola]. Name three of the five.
a. ______________________________________________________________________
b. ______________________________________________________________________
c. ______________________________________________________________________
2. For each quadratic function, find the vertex, the equation of the axis of symmetry,
the y-intercept, and state the domain and range.

a. y = x2 2x 5 b. y = x2 + 4x 1

vertex ( , ) vertex ( , )
axis of symmetry _________ axis of symmetry _________
y-Intercept ( , ) y-Intercept ( , )
Domain ________________ Domain ________________
Range _________________ Range _________________

3. Find the value(s) of x given each quadratic equation. (Round to the nearest
hundredth if necessary)

a. x2 4x + 3 = 0 b. 16 = x2 + 6x + 9

c. 21x2 + 5x 7 = 0 d. 16 + 3x2 = x2 + 116

e. 3x2 2x 9 = 0 f. x2 + 6x 10 = 24
 g. 2x2 6x = 7 + x2 h. x2 + 8x 10 = x 22

4. The path of a toy rocket can be modeled using the equation h = 16t2 + 47t + 3,
so that, the height h of the rocket t seconds after it is launched.
a. How long is the rocket in the air before it reaches the ground?

b. Graph the path of the rocket by plotting and labeling three points.
[initial height, vertex, x-intercept]

5. Look for a pattern in each table of values to determine which kind of model best
describes the data. Then write an equation for the function that models the data.
a. b. c.
x 5 4 3 2 1 x 1 0 1 2 3 x 3 2 1 0 1
12 y 3 6 12 24 48 y 1 3 5 7 9
y 80 45 20 5

6. A company tracked the number of visitors to its website over 4 days. Determine
which kind of model best represents the number of visitors to the website with
respect to time.

Day 0 1 2 3 4
Visitors
(in 0 0.9 3.6 8.1 14.4
thousands)

a. Write an equation that models the data.

b. Use your equation to estimate the number of visitors (in thousands) to the
companys website after 9 days.
