Quadratic Inequalities Answers

Which quadratic inequality does the graph below represent?

The height of a small rock falling from the top of a 124-ft-tall building with an initial downward velocity of –30 ft/sec is modeled by the equation h(t) = –16t2 – 30t + 124, where t is the time in seconds. For which interval of time does the rock remain in the air?

Reyna runs a textile company that manufactures T-shirts. The profit, p, made by the company is modeled by the function , where s is the number of T-shirts sold. How many T-shirts should be sold to earn a profit of more than $2,000?

Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determined by the equation d = 144 – 16t2, where t is the number of seconds it takes the car to travel down to each point on the ride. For which interval of time is Greg’s car moving in the air?

An object is dropped from a small plane. As the object falls, its distance, d, above the ground after t seconds, is given by the formula d = –16t2 + 1,000. Which inequality can be used to find the interval of time taken by the object to reach the height greater than 300 feet above the ground?
