89) An object is launched with an initial velocity of 95 ft/sec. The height h (in feet) of the object after t sec is given by h 16t 2 96t. a) From what height is the object launched? b) When does the object reach a height of 128 ft? c) How high is the object after 3 sec? d) When does the object hit the ground? 88) A car heads east from an intersection while a motorcycle travels south. After 20 min, the car is 2 mi farther from the intersection than the motorcycle. The distance between the two vehicles is 4 mi more than the motorcycle’s distance from the intersection. What is the distance between the car and the motorcycle? Intersection Car Motorcycle 1) What is the fi rst thing you should do when you are asked to factor a polynomial?

When Isaac is 1 mi farther from the intersection than Cory, the distance between them is 2 mi more than Cory’s distance from the intersection. How far is Cory from the intersection? 25) The length of a rectangular dog run is 4 ft more than twice its width. Find the dimensions of the run if it covers 96 ft2. 26) An object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 68 ft/sec. The height h (in feet) of the object t sec after it is thrown is given by h 16t2 68t 60 a) How long does it take for the object to reach a height of 120 ft? b) What is the initial height of the object? c) What is the height of the object after 2 sec? d) How long does it take the object to hit the ground?
