Worksheet 3

9 problems
  1. Mere's function graph shows a parabola with vertex at (4, 16), x-intercepts at (0, 0) and (8, 0), and y-intercept at (0, 0). Identify the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing.
  2. Emma is analyzing the graph of a quadratic function that opens downward. The graph shows x-intercepts at (-5, 0) and (5, 0), and a y-intercept at (0, -25). The vertex is at (0, -25). Over what interval is the function increasing?
  3. The function f(x) = -2x² + 12x - 10 models the height (in meters) of a projectile above ground level, where x is the time in seconds after launch. At what time does the projectile reach its maximum height?
