Characteristics of Quadratic Functions

2. Warm Up Company A has a min of (56, 16).
1.) Jenna is trying to invest money into the stock exchange. After some research, she has narrowed it down to two companies. Company A shows a portfolio value of v(t) = 800 – 28t + .25t2, and Company B shows a portfolio value of v(t) = 700 – 65t + .3t2, where v is the value of the portfolio in hundreds of dollars and t is the time in months. Which company will allow her the peace of mind of having the higher value, even if the stock prices drop to their lowest?
2.) Using the following quadratic, find zeros, y-intercept, vertex, and one other point and sketch the graph.
y = x2 + 4x - 5
Company A has a min of (56, 16).
Company B has a min of (108, -2820). So Jenna should choose Company A because it has the higher min value of 16.
zeros: (1,0) (-5,0)
y-int: (0,-5)
vertex: (-2,-9)

3. Homework Answers Brooklyn: 700 ft, Verrazano: 1000 ft, Tappan Zee: 800
Brooklyn: (350, <10), Verrazano: (500, 20), Tappan Zee: (400, 60)

4. 1000 = -16x
x = 6.6 seconds
940 = -16x
x = 6.9 seconds
48x + 4x2 + 32x = 276
4x2 + 80x -276 = 0
4(x2 + 20x - 69) = 0
4(x + 23)(x – 3) = 0
x = -23, 3
x = 3 ft wide
y = .278x x – 3.896

a. 4
b. 43
c. 40
d. 20 4
5x + 23
10x + 3

7. 2.) What is the measure of the largest angle in this triangle?
a. 114
b. 40
c. 20
d. 66
5x+14
3x+6

8. 2. ) Triangles ABC and DEF are similar
2.) Triangles ABC and DEF are similar. If the ratio of their sides is 3:2 and the measure of angle A is 55 degrees, what is the measure of angle D?

9. Factoring Extra Practice:
1.) 4x2 + 7x = 2
2.) x2 – 36 = 0
3.) 4x2 + 12x – 72 = 0
