Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related ALG2.103 Interpreting Zeros in Context skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which statement correctly matches the zeros to the context?

AIf h(t) = -16t(t - 5), then the zero t = 5 means the ball is 5 feet high.

BIf A(w) = w(12 - w), then w = 12 is the maximum-area width because it is a zero.

CIf d(t) = (t - 3)(t - 9), then t = 3 means the distance is 3 units.

DIf P(x) = (x - 8)(x - 18), then x = 8 and x = 18 are break-even sales levels.

Solution & Explanation:A zero is an input where the output is 0. In the first statement, x=8 and x=18 make profit 0, so they are break-even sales levels. The other statements confuse the input value with the output.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A ball is launched from a platform, and its height above the ground is modeled by h(t) = -16t² + 56t + 32, where t is time in seconds. When does the ball hit the ground after it is launched?

Solution & Explanation:Set h(t) = 0 to find when the height is 0. The zeros are t = -0.5 and t = 4. The relevant time after launch is t = 4 seconds.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

For A(w) = w(16 - w), Ava says w = 16 gives area 16 square units. Ben says w = 16 makes the area 0 because one side length becomes 0. Cara says w = 16 is the maximum-area width. Who is correct?

AAva and Cara

BBen only

CAva only

DCara only

Solution & Explanation:Substituting w=16 gives A(16)=16(16-16)=0. Ben is the only student who interprets the zero correctly.
