5. Isabella is really good at soccer. She is regularly referred to as the next Sam
Kerr. Isabella’s maths teacher thought it would be fun to demonstrate the
relevancy of quadratics equations through the parabola formed by Isabella
kicking the ball.

The height of the ball (h) in relation to the time after Isabella kicked the ball (t)
is represented by h=−t (t−6), where h is in metres and t is in seconds.

c) At what time/s in seconds will the ball be at a height of 5 metres?
6. [2, 3, 1 marks]

(A level)
Noah loves to garden and study quadratic equations in his spare time. Noah
has noticed that he can use his knowledge and understanding of quadratic
equations to answer the following questions regarding his garden.

The area of a Noah’s vegetable plot is 70m2 and is rectangular in shape. The
length (L) is 3m longer than the width (W).

a) Write an equation to represent this scenario in the expanded form of:


2
a x +bx +c=0

b) Solve the quadratic equation using the Null Factor Law.

c) State the length and width of Noah’s vegetable plot.
