Aim: HOW DO WE SOLVE INEQUALITIES?HW: p.A73 #11-24 even http://my.hrw.com/math06_07/nsmedia/tools/Graph_Calculator/graphCalc.html 6 Quadratic Inequality Application: A projectile is fired straight upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 384 feet per second. During what time period will its height exceed 2000 feet? The position of an object moving vertically can be modeled by the position equation: s is the height and t is the time. In this case s 0 = 0, v 0 = 384, and s must be greater than 2000 so: HW p. A74 #81, 83

Apps) #81: A projectile is fired straight upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 160 feet per second. (a)At what instant will it be back at ground level? (b)When will the height exceed 384 feet? (a) (b) When the projectile is at ground level the height, s, is zero. We are finding t when s = 0. Range of t values when the height of the projectile is above 384
