1. Do Now: The graph of f (x ) = x 2+ 4x + 1 is shown. Approximate the zeros.

2. Word Problems

3. Solve using the graphing calculator -2x2 2= 4x

4. Solve using the graphing calculator 1) x2 x 2 = 0 3) x2+ 7x = -10 3) x2+ x = 12

5. A football player kicks a football 2 feet above the ground with an initial vertical velocity of 75 feet per second. The function h = 16t 2+ 75t + 2 represents the height h (in feet) of the football after t seconds. (a) Find the height of the football each second after it is kicked. (b) Use the results of part (a) to estimate when the height of the football is 50 feet. (c) Using a graph, after how many seconds is the football 50 feet above the ground?

6. A farmer plants a rectangular pumpkin patch in the northeast corner of a square plot of land. The area of the pumpkin patch is 600 square meters. What is the area of the square plot of land?

7. The distance d (in miles) that you can see to the horizon with your eye level h feet above the water is given by the equation written below. How far can you see when your eye level is 5 feet above the water? 3h d = 2

8. Closing: When a quadratic equation has two solutions, what do you know about the graph of its related function? One solution? No solution?

9. Homework: None
