Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square. (a) 2 8 + 15 = 0 (b) 2 + 14 + 34 = 0 4. A ladder that is 5 feet long is 3 feet from the base of the wall. How far up the wall does the ladder reach? Solve this problem using only one variable. Draw a picture to assist you. 5. The function s(t) = 16t 2 models the distance, s(t), in feet, that an object falls in t seconds.

A rectangular sign must have an area of 45 yards. Its length must be 4 yards more than its width. Find the dimensions of the sign. Round to the nearest tenth of a yard, and solve using only one variable. 11. Find the coordinates of the verte for the parabola defined by the given quadratic function. (a) f() = 2 + 4 (b) f() = ( + 5) 2 7 (c) f() = 6 2 + 12 + 3 Page 2

(a) f() = 2 + 2 2 minimum / maimum (circle one) coordinates of minimum / maimum point: (, ) domain (on interval notation): range (on interval notation): (b) f() = 2 + 4 minimum / maimum (circle one) coordinates of minimum / maimum point: (, ) domain (on interval notation): range (on interval notation): (c) f() = 2 2 8 + 16 minimum / maimum (circle one) coordinates of minimum / maimum point: (, ) domain (on interval notation): range (on interval notation): 14. Only one variable should be used to solve these word problems. I recommend solving it using the five steps method. (a) Among all pairs of numbers whose sum is 30, find a pair whose product is as large as possible. (b) A person standing close to the edge of an 88-foot building throws a baseball vertically upward. The quadratic function s(t) = 16t 2 + 64t + 88 models the ball s height above the ground, s(t), in feet, t seconds after it was thrown. How many seconds does it take until the ball finally hits the ground? Round to the nearest tenth of a second if necessary. 15. Solve the equations below by making an appropriate substitution. (a) 4 40 2 + 144 = 0 (b) 16 1 2 512 = 0 (c) ( 4) 2 + 3( 4) 18 = 0 (d) 2 2 1 1 = 0 (e) 3 = 2 Page 4
