Max/Min question-change to vertex form by completing the square. Solve for variable that is squared-factor or use quadratic formula. 1. A flare is fired from the deck of a ship and hits the water. The height of the flare, h metres, above the water at t seconds is given by h = -5t2 + 10t + 15. a) How high is the deck of the ship above the water? b) When does the flare hit the water? c) How long is the flare 18 m above the water? d) Determine the maximum height and when it occurs e) Draw a labeled sketch of the quadratic in its context. a) b) c) d) 15 m 0=-5t2+10t+15, t=3, -1 (inad), Flare hits the water after 3s. 0=-5t2-10t+3, t=0.4s, 1.6s, Flare is 18 m above the water for 1.2 s. H=-5(t-1)2+20, The max height of the flare is 20 m after 1s.

2. The Diver Time company makes digital watches for scuba divers. The company models its profits with the function P 2d 2 4d 6 , where d is the number of watches sold, in hundreds, and P is the companys profit, in tens of thousands of dollars. a) How many watches must the company sell in order to break even? Show your work. b) How many watches does Diver Time need to sell to maximize profits? c) What is the maximum profit? a) 0=-2d2+4d+6, 0=-2(d2-2d+3), 0=-2(d-3)(d+1), d=3, -1(inad), The company must sell 300 watches to break even. b) P=-2(d2-2d+1-1)+6=-2(d-1)2+8, They must sell 100 watches to maximize profits. c) The maximum profit is $80 000.

3. A math textbook is thrown off of a cliff. The height, H, of the book, in meters, can be modeled by H = -3t2 + 12t + 20, where t is the time in seconds the book is in the air. a) What is the book's initial height? b) What is the maximum height of the book and when does it occur? c) How long will the textbook be above 29 m? d) When does the book hit the ground (to nearest hundredth of a second)? a) H=20 m b) H=-3(t2-4t+4-4)+20=-3(t-2)2+32, The maximum height of the book is 32 m and this occurs after 2 seconds. c) 29 = -3t2 + 12t + 20 0 = t2 - 4t + 3 0=(t-1)(t-3) t=1,3 The textbook will be above 29 m for 2 seconds. d) 0=-3t2 + 12t + 20 0=3t2-12t-20
