Pre-Calculus Summer Assgnment Dear Future Pre-Calculus Student, Congratulatons on our successful completon of Algebra! Below ou wll fnd the summer assgnment questons. It s assumed that these concepts, along wth man others, have been mastered b ou, the ncomng Pre-Calculus student. There wll be an assessment on ths materal wthn the frst fve das of school. Ths assessment wll be an ndcator of our foundaton for the course, hence our success wth the new materal Pre-Calculus offers. It s strongl suggested that ou take ths assgnment serousl. Ths assgnment should be completed pror to the frst da of school. Watng to start t the nght before the frst da of school s not a wse dea. When ou fnd ourself unable to answer a queston, do not skp t research t. That research can be n the form of a parent, a frend, free on-lne help lke brghtstorm.com and kahnacadem.org, or our old Algebra notebook. The webstes are user-frendl and offer ecellent eplanatons. Defntel check them out as a resource. When ou return to school n September, we epect that ou wll have gone through all of the questons. Feel free to ask specfc questons pertanng to the summer assgnment wthn the frst few das of school. The Pre-Calculus teachers are here to help. Enjo our summer and we look forward to meetng ou n September.
Name Pre-Calculus Date Summer Assgnment Drectons: Please do all work on a separate sheet of paper. You ma draw the graphs on the coordnate planes that appear wthn ths packet. It s strongl recommend that these problems be completed wthout the ad of a calculator, unless ou are drected to use one. You wll not be permtted to use a calculator on man of the Pre-Calculus assessments throughout the ear, so ths gves ou an opportunt to sharpen our mental math sklls. There wll be an assessment on ths materal wthn the frst fve das of school. Good luck!

Mr. Goodman, who knows a lot about phscs, s gong to fre a rocket to start off ths ear s Battle of the Classes. He has done testng on the rocket to ensure t wll not ht an students. If the rocket s launched upwards wth an ntal veloct of 00 feet per second, ts heght h (t) (n feet) can be found b the functon h ( t) = 6t + 0t, where t s the number of seconds snce t was launched. 56) How long wll t take for the rocket to reach ts hghest pont? 57) What s the mamum heght that the rocket wll reach?
