    A. (3, 7) B. (7, 3)
    C. (2, 8) D. (8, 2)
    Hint

  2.   How could you use the graph of h = 20t – 6t2 to estimate the solution(s) of 20t – 6t2 = 7, where h stands for height and t stands for time?
   
    A. Draw a horizontal line at h = 7 and find where it intersects the curve.
    B. Draw a horizontal line at h = 20 and find where it intersects the curve.
    C. Draw a vertical line at t = 20 and find where it intersects the curve.
    D. Draw a vertical line at t = 7 and find where it intersects the curve.
    Hint

  3.   How many solutions can a graph of y = ax2 + bx + c have?
    A. all answers are correct B. one
    C. two D. zero
    Hint

  4.   Use you calculator's Table feature to approximate the solutions to the nearest hundredth.
4x(x + 2) = 12
    A. x = 2, x = –2 B. x = –1, x = –4
    C. x = 0, x = –4 D. x = 1, x = –3
    Hint

  5.   Toby needs to create a rectangular pen for his dog. He decides that the area of the pen will be 100 square feet with its length 2 feet longer than its width. As you find the width of the pen, which solution can be thrown away since the width cannot be negative?
