Kenneth is answering a quadratic modeling problem. He knows that a ball was thrown from an initial height of 5 feet in the air, and reached a maximum height of 35 feet, 2 seconds later. He wants to find out how high it is after 3 seconds. He uses the quadratic model of y=a(x-5)(x-2), because he thinks he should be using factored form, and he picks 5 and 2, since they're the easiest numbers. He solves for a, and gets 3.5. So, that would give him an upward-opening parabola, and at that point, he's fairly sure he made a mistake, since the ball should follow a path that is a downward-opening parabola. Determine Kenneth's mistake, and correctly find the quadratic function for the flight of the ball. Then, find its height after 3 seconds. The correct graph is shown. *

Jessica and martha each have a bag of cookies with unequal quantities. they have 30 cookies total between the two of them. each of them ate 6 cookies from their bag. the product of the number of cookies left in each bag is not more than 80. how many more cookies will jessica have martha? if x represents the number of cookies jessica started with, complete the statements below. the inequality that describes the relationship between the number of cookies each one of them has is x^2 - x +224 > = 0.jessica has at least cookies more than martha.
