The height in feet of a soccer ball is modeled by the equation , where time  is measured in seconds after it was kicked. How far above the ground was the ball when kicked?

What was the initial upward velocity of the ball?

Why is the coefficient of the squared term negative?

What is the vertex of the graph of the function  defined by ?

Identify the -intercept and one other point of the graph of this function.

Sketch the graph of f.

At 6:00 a.m., Lin began hiking. At noon, she had hiked 12 miles.

At 4:00 p.m., Lin finished hiking with a total trip of 26 miles. During which time interval was Lin hiking faster? Explain how you know. 

Kiran bought a smoothie every day for a week.

Smoothies cost $3 each. The amount of money he spends, in dollars, is a function of the number of days of buying smoothies. Sketch a graph of this function. Be sure to label the axes.

Describe the domain and range of this function.
