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. 130.4 meters B. 221.6 meters
    C. 180.9 meters D. 252.5 meters
    Hint

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

  3.   Find the equation of the graph below.
   
    A. y = x2 + 3 B. y = (x - 3)2
    C. y = x2 – 3 D. y = (x + 3)2
    Hint

  4.   Two friends are playing catch with a baseball. The ball's flight can be modeled by the equation

    A. 3.78 m B. 18.8 m
    C. 1 m D. 2.13 m
    Hint

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