Landscaping A town is planning a playground.

It wants to fence in a rectangular space using an
existing wall. What is the greatest area it can fence
in using 100 ft of donated fencing?
Understanding the Problem

1. Write an expression for the width of the playground. Let l be the length of the
playground.
100 2 2l
2. Do you know the perimeter of the playground? Explain.

No; you do not know how much of the wall will be used.
3. What is the problem asking you to determine?

The largest area that can be enclosed by 100 ft of fence on three sides and an unknown
length of wall on the fourth side.
Planning the Solution

4. Write a quadratic equation to model the area of the playground.
A 5 100l 2 2l 2
5. What information can you get from the equation to find the maximum area?
Explain.
You can find the vertex. The x-coordinate of the vertex is the length that gives the
maximum area, which is the y-coordinate.

16. Error Analysis In Exercise 15 part (c), your friend said that the range was
equal to all real numbers. Why is this incorrect?
Because this is a real situation, you cannot have a negative number of
subscriptions. Therefore, the range must be greater than or equal to 0.
(It cannot be negative.)
17. Reasoning Explain how you know your answer to Exercise 15 part (b) is
reasonable.
The number of subscribers found in 1995 is reasonable because it is in

Landscaping Suppose you have an outdoor pool measuring 25 ft by 10 ft. You

want to add a cement walkway around the pool. If the walkway will be 1 ft thick
and you have 304 ft3 of cement, how wide should the walkway be?

x x
1. Draw a diagram of the pool and the walkway. Let x 5 the width of the 25 ft x
walkway in feet.
10 ft
2. If you lay the pieces of walkway end to end, what is the total length of
x
the walkway? 4x 1 70
3. What is the thickness of the walkway? 1 ft

The width of a walkway that is (4x 1 70) ft long and 1 ft thick, that has volume 304 ft3.

5. Write a quadratic equation to model the volume of the walkway. V 5 4x2 1 70x
6. What method can you use to find the solutions of your quadratic equation?
Answers may vary. Sample: Substitute 304 for V in the equation. Subtract 304 from
each side to set it equal to zero. Graph y 5 4x2 1 70x 2 304 on a graphing calculator
and use the ZERO option in the CALC feature to solve for x.

Sports A diver dives from a 10 m springboard. The equation f (t) 5 24.9t2 1 4t 1 10

models her height above the pool at time t. At what time does she enter the water?

1. What does the function represent?
the diver’s height above the water at time t in seconds

at what time the diver’s height above the water equals 0
3. Do you need to use the height of the springboard to solve the problem?
Explain.
No; you don’t use the height of the springboard. You only need to find the zeros of the
function.

4. What are three possible methods for solving this problem?
Graph the equation, factor the equation; use the Quadratic Formula.
5. If a solution exists, which method will give an exact solution? Explain.

The Quadratic Formula; you can only estimate from a graph, and not all equations have
expressions that are factorable.
Getting an Answer
6. Is there more than one reasonable solution to the problem? Explain.
No; the equation has two zeros, but one of them is negative. Time moves forward and
cannot be negative.

Then, write the equation in standard form. 2x2 2 70x 1 480 5 0 $9.36
8. Engineers can use the formula d 5 0.05s2 1 1.1s to estimate the minimum
stopping distance d in feet for a vehicle traveling s miles per hour.
a. If a car can stop after 65 feet, what is the fastest it could have been traveling
when the driver put on the brakes? 26.7 miles per hour
b. Reasoning Explain how you knew which of the two solutions from the
Quadratic Formula to use. (Hint: Remember this is a real situation.)
The other solution was negative. You cannot drive negative miles per hour.
9. Reasoning Explain why a quadratic equation has no real solutions if the

discriminant is less than zero.
The discriminant is the value under the square root sign. If it is less than zero,
you are trying to take the square root of a negative number. The square root of a
negative number is not a real number.
