Name:____________________________ Date:_____________


Directions: This test has been divided into two parts. On the first part, you will not
be able to use a calculator. On the second part you will be able to use a
calculator. Once you have finished the first part turn it in to me and I will give you
calculator.

Part 1.

the function label the vertex, axis of symmetry, maximum/minimum, and
domain and range of the graph.

Part 2.

Complete the following problems. Make sure to include correct units of measurement
in your answer.

20.) A baseball is hit and the path of the ball is f ( x) = .0032 x 2 + x + 3 where x is the
distance from home plate and y is the height of the baseball. This distance is measured in
feet.
_________________A) Give the dimensions of the window in which you view this baseballs path.

_________________

_________________B) How far away from home plate does the ball reach its maximum height?

_________________C) What is the maximum height of the ball?

_________________D) How far away from home plate did the ball hit the ground?

21.)The marketing department at Texas Instruments has found that, when certain
calculators are sold at a price of p dollars per units, the revenue R (in dollars) as a function
of the price p is (hint, set your y-max to 800,000)

R( p) = 150 p 2 + 21,000 p

What unit price will maximize revenue?

If this price is charged, what is the maximum revenue?

What are the two prices they can charge and have a profit of 0?


The path of a certain firework in the air is modeled by the parabolic
function y = 16x2 + 256x 624 where x is the number of seconds
after the fuse is lit. Write the correct answer to the following
questions.

22.) The firework will explode when it reaches its highest point. How long after the fuse
is lit will the firework explode and how high will the firework be?

23.) Based on the graph of the firework, what are the two zeros of this function?

24.) What is the meaning of each of the zeros you found in problem 22?
