- A path of a toy rocket thrown upward from the ground at a rate of 208 ft/sec is modeled by the quadratic function of. h(x)=16t2+208t. When will the rocket reach its maximum height? What will be the maximum height?arrow_forwardFind the maximum or minimum value of the quadratic functionf(x)=4x2+16x11.arrow_forwardWrite the quadratic function in standard form. Determine the vertex and axes intercepts and graph the function. f(x)=x2+2x8arrow_forward
- An outpatient operating room charges each patient a fixed amount per surgery plus an amount per minute for use. One patient was charged 250 for a 30-minute surgery and another patient was charged 450 for a 90-minute surgery. Determine the linear function that would be used to compute the charges. Use the function to determine the charge when a patient has a 45-minute surgery.arrow_forwardWrite the quadratic function in f(x)=a(xh)2+k form whose graph is shown.arrow_forward
