Quadratic Application Problems

The document contains two multi-part math word problems. The first asks questions about a quadratic function modeling the height of a watermelon thrown in the air. It asks to find the maximum height, roots, meaning of roots, y-intercept, and domain and range. The second problem asks about fencing 80 feet to make the largest rectangular basketball court, including writing equations for perimeter and area, combining them, graphing to find maximum area, and stating the largest area.
