  1. A physics class is designing a model rocket launch. The rocket's height above ground is modeled by the equation h(t) = -5t² + 40t + 20, where h is height in meters and t is time in seconds after launch. At what time will the rocket hit the ground?
  2. x² - 8x - 33 = 0
  3. A right triangle is drawn on a coordinate plane with vertices at (0,0), (x,0), and (0,x+5). The area of this triangle is 42 square units. Write a quadratic equation in standard form that represents this situation, then solve for x by factoring.
