Review Take Home Quiz 2
Do all work on looseleaf (except #10 on GP). You must show all work; NO WORK = NO CREDIT. When a
question says to CHECK, if you do not have the check you will not receive ANY credit for that question.
Each question is worth 2 points. Staple your work to this paper and hand it in on Friday. If you are
absent on Friday it may be handed in Monday before school to E012 for full credit.
1) A prom ticket at St. Francis Prep is $120. Tom is going to save money for the prom by walking his
neighbor’s dog for $15 per week. If Tom already has $22 saved, what is the minimum number of
weeks Tom must walk the dog to earn enough money to pay for the prom ticket?
2) Solve and check:
=
3) Solve and check: x2 + 2x – 24 = 0
4) The sum of the ages of the three Smith brothers is 63. If their ages can be represented as
consecutive integers, what is the age of the middle brother?
5) Solve and check:
x+8= x–7
6) One of the roots of the equation x2 + 3x – 18 = 0 is 3. What is the other root?
7) What is the sum of 5
and 3
8) The length of a rectangular garden is 3 yards more that its width. If the area of the garden is 36
square yards, which equation could be used to find the dimensions of the garden? – (You must set
up your “Let/ Solve/ Check” and make sure to write the formula for area)
(1) x2 + 3x + 36 = 0
(2) x2 - 3x + 36 = 0
(3) x2 - 3x - 36 = 0
(4) x2 + 3x - 36 = 0
9) Solve and check : 5x – 4y = 28
3x + y = 44
10) Tom throws a ball into the air. The ball travels on a parabolic path represented by the equation
h = -8t2 + 40t, where h is the height, in feet, and t is the time in seconds. – (This question must be
done completely on graph paper to get credit)
a) Graph the equation (parabola) from t = 0 to t = 5 seconds, including all integral values of t
from 0 to 5. (make sure to include the table) b) What is the value of t at which h has its greatest value?
