31. Open-Ended Write an equation of a parabola that has two x-intercepts and a

minimum vertex. Include a graph of the parabola.

Model each problem with a quadratic equation. Then solve.
32. The volume of a square pyramid is given by the formula

where h is
the height of the pyramid and x is the length of one side of the base. A pyramid with
a height of 15 ft has a volume of 2880 ft3. What is the length of one side of the
base?
