1.   If a rocket is fired from the ground with an initial velocity of 75 meters per second, then the height of the rocket after t seconds is h = 75t - 4.9t2. Find the height of the rocket after 3 seconds.
    A. 180.9 meters B. 130.4 meters
    C. 221.6 meters D. 252.5 meters
    Hint

  2.   Which equation is in the same family as y = x2?
    A. y = 2x2 – 3 B. y = 2x – 3
    C. y = x2 – 3 D. y = x3 – 3
    Hint

  3.   Describe how the graph of y = (x + 1)2 differs from the graph of y = x2.
    A. the graph of y = (x + 1) 2 moved down 1 unit
    B. the graph of y = (x + 1)2 moved 1 unit to the left
    C. the graph of y = (x + 1)2 moved up 1 unit
    D. the graph of y = (x+1)2 moved 1 unit to the right
    Hint

  4.   Find the cubic equation.
    A. y = 5x3 + 2x B. y = 3x
    C. y = x(x3 + 1) D. y = x2 + 5
    Hint

  5.   What is the new equation if the graph y = 2x3 – 6x2 is moved down 1 unit?
    A. y = x3 – 6x2
    B. y = 2x3 – 5x2
    C. y = 2x3 – 6x2 + 1
    D. y = 2x3 – 6x2 – 1
