9-2 Solving y = ax²
3. Use your graph in question 1 above. At what
points does the graph of y=7 intersect the graph
of y=1.5x² ?
To check it, graph y=7 on graph 1.

Solve the following equations.
4. 4x² = 100
5. 6(4n -3)² = 54
6. A stone is dropped from the 555-foot Washington Monument,
located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. To determine
how long the stone will be in the air, use Galileo’s equation
d = 16t². In the equation, t is the time in seconds that it takes
a heavier-than air object to fall d feet. Round your answer to the
nearest tenth of a second.
