5.1.3 Solving Quadratic Equations by Graphing and Factoring - Practice

1.  Identify the zeros of the function h ( x ) = x 2 + 2 x .

2.  Identify the zeros of the function g ( x ) = x 2 − 5 x − 36.

3.  Identify the roots of the equation x 2 − 10 x + 25 = 0 by factoring.

4.  Identify the roots of the equation x 2 + 21 = 10 x by factoring.

5.  Identify a quadratic function that is in standard form and has zeros − 11 and 6.

6.  A golfball is hit from ground level with an initial vertical velocity of 80 ft/s. Use the function h ( t ) = − 16 t 2 + v 0 t + h 0 , where h ( t ) is the height of a golfball hit with initial vertical velocity v 0 from initial height h 0 after t seconds in the air, to find the time at which the golfball will hit the ground.
