Application Practice Vertex and Factored Form

1. The document contains examples of modeling projectile motion using quadratic functions in vertex, factored, and standard form. It provides the equations and asks questions about finding maximum height, time of maximum height, time the object hits the ground, initial height, and height at a given time. 2. The answers provided include finding intercepts to sketch graphs, maximum heights, times of maximum height and hitting the ground, initial heights, and heights at given times for various projectile motion scenarios. 3. The examples cover modeling projectile motion for balls, discs, rockets, cannons, and other objects using quadratic equations to find key motion details.
