Alex is hiking up a mountain trail. On his way up, he meets his friend Charlie, who tells him that the
trail is closed due to bad weather conditions, so he decides to turn back. Alex's altitude from the
trailhead is given by the function: 𝑎 = 200𝑡 − 25𝑡 2 , where 𝑡 is the time in minutes, and 𝑎 is the
altitude in meters above the trailhead.

Sarah is throwing a ball into the air. The height 'h' of the ball above the ground is given by
the function:
ℎ = −3𝑡 2 + 12𝑡

Where:
'ℎ' is the height of the ball above the ground in meters.
'𝑡' is the time in seconds since Sarah threw the ball.

Emily started her small bakery business, and she noticed that her monthly profit per sale
could be modeled by a quadratic function against the time in months (with the first
month as t = 0). Her profit function is given as: P(t) = at^2 + bt + c,

Where:
•'P(t)' is the profit in dollars.
•'t' is the time in months since Emily started her bakery.
•'a,' 'b,' and 'c' are coefficients to be determined.

Question: Emily wants to find the quadratic function that models her profit per sale over
time. She gathers the following data points:
1.In the first month, her profit is $600.
2. In the third month, her profit is $800.
a. P = 50t^2 + 100t + 600; b. P = 100t^2 - 50t + 600; c. P = -50t^2 - 100t + 600; d. P = 50t^2
- 100t + 600

Olivia is running a flower shop, and she wants to model the number of flowers sold per
day using a quadratic function based on the number of days since she opened the shop.
Her sales function is given as:
S(d) = ad^2 + bd + c
Where:
•'S(d)' is the number of flowers sold per day.
•'d' is the number of days since Olivia opened the shop.
•'a,' 'b,' and 'c' are coefficients to be determined.
Olivia collects the following data points:
1.On the first day, she sold 20 flowers.
2.On the second day, she sold 25 flowers.
3.On the third day, she sold 30 flowers.

Find the quadratic function that models the situation.

Samantha and David run a coffee shop. They've noticed their weekly profit increases
linearly with the number of cups of coffee sold.
When they sell 40 cups in a week, their profit is $120. When they sell 80 cups in a
week, their profit is $240.
Find their profit if they sell 60 cups of coffee in a week using the linear equation that
represents their weekly profit.
1. You are a technician tasked with installing a new high-speed internet cable along a straight road that runs
through a hilly area. The road is represented by the equation 𝑦 = 2𝑥 + 3. You have a customer’s house
