SPR 1 Hadley throws a rock of a 10-foot cliff into a lake below SPR 1 Hadley throws a rock of a 10-foot cliff into a lake below. The height of a rock is modeled by the equation y = -2x² + 18x - 16 where x represents the number of seconds since the rock was released and y represents the number of feet above or below the water’s surface. When is the rock furthest from the water’s surface? ANSWER: 4.5 seconds (the rock is furthest from the water’s surface when it is at the vertex: x = 4.5 seconds, y = 24.5 feet)
SPR 2 The y-intercept of the equation below is (0, 3) SPR 2 The y-intercept of the equation below is (0, 3). Calculate the rate of change between the vertex and the y-intercept of this equation. Answer: -2 [Found by calculating the slope of the line between the y-int (0,3) and vertex (2,-1)]
