1. A projectile is fired upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 300 feet per second. Neglecting air resistance, the height of the projectile at any time t can be described by the polynomial function P(t) = -16t2 + 300t a. Find the height of the projectile when t = 1 second. b. Find the height of the projectile when t = 5 seconds.c. How long will it be until the object hits the ground? 2. A board has length (3x4 + 6x2 – 18) meters and width of 2x + 1 meters. The board is cut into three pieces of the same lengtha. Find the length of each piece. b. Find the area of each piece.c. Find the area of board before it is cut. d. How is the area of each piece of the board related to the area of the board before it is cut? 3. A cubic equation has zeros at -2, 1, and 3. a. Write an equation for a polynomial function that meets the given conditions. b. Draw the graph of a polynomial function that meets the given conditions. 4. Alice was having a conversation with her friend Trina, who had a discovery to share: Pick any two integers. Look at the sum of their squares, the differences of their squares, and twice the product of the two integers you chose. Those three number are the sides of a triangle. a. Write an equation that models this conjecture using the variables x and y. b. Investigate this conjecture for at least three pairs of integers. Does her trick appear to work in all cases, or only in some cases? Explain. c. Use Trina's trick to find an example of a right triangle in which all of the sides have integer length, all three sides are longer than 100 units, and the three side lengths do not have common factors.d. If Trina's conjecture is true, use the equation found in part a. to prove the conjecture. If it is not true, modify it so it is a true statement, and prove the statement.

Option 1: Springdale Shopping Survey InstructionsThe major shopping areas in the community of Springdale include Springdale Mall, West Mall, and the downtown area on Main Street. A telephone survey has been conducted to identify strengths and weaknesses of these areas and to find out how they fit into the shopping activities of local residents. The 150 respondents were also asked to provide information about themselves and their shopping habits. The data are provided in the file SHOPPING. The variables in the survey can be found in the file CODING.We will concentrate on variables 18–25, which reflect how important each of eight different attributes is in the respondent’s selection of a shopping area. Each of these variables has been measured on a scale of 1 (the attribute is not very important in choosing a shopping area) to 7 (the attribute is very important in choosing a shopping area). The attributes being rated for importance are listed below. Examining the relative importance customers place on these attributes can help a manager “fine-tune” his or her shopping area to make it a more attractive place to shop.18 Easy to return/exchange goods19 High quality of goods20 Low prices21 Good variety of sizes/styles22 Sales staff helpful/friendly23 Convenient shopping hours24 Clean stores and surroundings25 A lot of bargain salesPerform the following operations for variables 18–25:Compute descriptive statistics for each variable along with an explanation of what the descriptive statistics tell us about the variable. This will include the mean, mode, range, standard deviation, and the 5-number summary (minimum, first quartile (Q1), median (Q2), third quartile (Q3), and maximum). Be sure to show each calculation in your spreadsheet.Are there any data points for any of the variables that can be considered outliers? If there are any outliers in any variable, please list them and state for which variable they are an outlier. Use the z-score method to determine any outliers for this question. Be sure to show each z-score calculation in your spreadsheet for each variable.Based on the results for question 1, which attributes seem to be the most important and the least important in respondents’ choice of a shopping area? Which items from #1 did you use to decide on the least and most important attributes, and why?Determine the correlation coefficient between variable 19 and variables 21–25. Please provide an explanation of the relationships. Show your calculations for each correlation coefficient within the spreadsheet.Paper RequirementsWrite a report that applies the Written Assignment Requirements under the heading Expectations for CSU-Global Written Assignments found in theCSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
