Algebra 1

Please rely on using the axis of symmetry formula for the majority of the items, except where noted to use your graphing
calculator.
1.

What is the vertex for the graph of the function

1
= 2 + 2?

4.

The height in feet of a golf ball that is hit from

the ground can be modeled by the function
() = 16 2 + 96,
where x is the time in seconds after the ball is
hit.

3.

Part A

What is the golf balls maximum height

and the time it takes the ball to reach
this height?

What is the vertex for the graph of the function

= 2 + 6 + 1?

The height of a small rise in a roller coaster track

is modeled by
() = 0.07 2 + 0.42 + 6.37,
where x is the distance in feet from a support
pole at the ground level.
What is the height of the rise?

5.

The graph of a quadratic function has its vertex

at (1, 4) and one zero of the function is 3.
What is the other zero of this function?
Explain how you determined your answer.
