Answer as many as you can. You may use any clean

pieces of paper (front portion only).

1. Sketch the graph of y x 2 3x 15 .

2. The ball was dropped from a height of 18 meters.

On each bounce, the ball bounces two-thirds of the
height of the previous bounce. Find the vertical
distance traveled by the ball before it comes to
rest.

3. Use table of signs to determine the solution set of

x3 3x 2 2 x
y 3 .
x 5x2 6 x

4. Given f n 3n2 2n 1, n defines a

sequence of integers. Determine:
a. the 20th term; and
b. the sum of the first 25 terms.
5. Suppose the first 10 terms of a sequence are
6, 5, 6, 3, 22, 52, 90, 139, 198, 267

One of these was mistyped. Determine:

a. the mistyped term; and
b. a function describing the terms of the given
sequence.

6. Multiply:
2 1 3 5 3 1
