A rectangular swimming pool has a perimeter of 96 ft. The area of the pool is 504 ft2. Which system of equations models this situation correctly, where l is the length of the pool in feet and w is the width of the pool in feet?




Two boats depart from a port located at (–8, 1) in a coordinate system measured in kilometers and travel in a positive x-direction. The first boat follows a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (1, 10), whereas the second boat follows a path that can be modeled by a quadratic function with a vertex at (0, –7). Which system of equations can be used to determine whether the paths of the boats cross?




At a skills competition, a target is being lifted into the air by a cable at a constant speed. An archer standing on the ground launches an arrow toward the target. The system of equations below models the height, in feet, of the target and the arrow t seconds after it was fired. Which statement most likely describes the situation modeled by this system?
