A projectile is launched straight up from ground level with an initial velocity of 320 ft/s.
o When will the projectiles height above ground be 1538 feet?
Solution: s = -16t2 + 320t + 0 = 1538
Graph in calculator and look for intersection points
t = 8.031 seconds, 11.969 seconds
o When will the projectiles height above ground be at most 1538 feet?
Solution: [0, 8.031] U [11.969, 20]

When will the projectiles height above ground be greater than or equal to 1538
feet?
Solution: [8.031, 11.969]

Show that the shape determined by the points (0, 1), (4, 1), (2, 1-2 3 ) is an equilateral
triangle.
o Solution: Show that the distance between each set of points is the same.
(0, 1) & (4, 1)

(0, 1) & (2, 1-2 3 )

d (0 2) 2 (1 (1 2 3 )) 2 4
d (4 2) 2 (1 (1 2 3 )) 2 4

(4, 1) & (2, 1-2 3 )


Since all the sides of the triangle have the same length, the triangle
is equilateral.
Interstate 94 west of New Baltimore has a section posted as a 5% grade. This means that
for a horizontal change of 100 feet there is a 5 foot vertical change.
o Find the slope of this section of the highway.
Solution: m = 5/100= 1/20
o On a highway with a 5% grade, what is the horizontal distance required to climb 325
feet?
Solution: y = (1/20)x
325 = (1/20)x
X = 6500 feet
