An object is launched into the air. The projectile motion of the object can be modeled using the functionh(t) = –16t2 + 72t + 5, where t is the time in seconds since the launch and h(t) represents the height in feet of the object after t seconds. What is true about the projectile motion of this object? Check all that apply.The initial height is 5 feet.The initial velocity of the object is –72 feet/second.The object will hit the ground after approximately 4.57 seconds.After 3 seconds, the object is 173 feet high.At t = 0, h(t) = 0.

The product of two consecutive positive integers is 1,332. Explain how you can write and solve a quadratic equation to find the value of the larger integer.

Answer:

The numbers can be written as x and x 1. Set the product of the numbers equal to 1,332 to get x(x 1) 1,332. You can solve the quadratic equation by using the quadratic formula, completing the square, or factoring. When you solve the quadratic equation, you find that x 37 and 36. Since the question asked for positive integers, the only viable solution is x 36. To solve for the larger integer, you add 1 to 36 to get an answer of 37.

What did you include in your response? Check all that apply.

A
Use x and x + 1 to model the two consecutive integers.
B
The quadratic equation is x(x + 1) = 1,332.
C
x = 36 and –37.
D
–37 is not a viable solution since it is negative.
E
The larger number is 37.
