EXAMPLE 3 Solve a quadratic equation
Solve 3x2 + 5 = 41.
3x2 + 5 = 41 Write original equation.
3x2 = 36 Subtract 5 from each side.
x2 = 12 Divide each side by 3.
x = + 12 Take square roots of each side.
x = + 4 3
x = + 2 3

EXAMPLE 3 Solve a quadratic equation
ANSWER
The solutions are and 2 3 2 3–
Check the solutions by substituting them into the original equation.
3x2 + 5 = 41
3( )2 + 5 = 412 3 ?
41 = 41
3(12) + 5 = 41?
3x2 + 5 = 41
3( )2 + 5 = 41 – 2 3 ?
41 = 41
3(12) + 5 = 41?
EXAMPLE 4 Standardized Test Practice
SOLUTION

5(z + 3)2 = 7 Write original equation.
(z + 3)2 = 35 Multiply each side by 5.
z + 3 = + 35 Take square roots of each side.
z = –3 + 35 Subtract 3 from each side.
The solutions are –3 + and –3 – 35 35ANSWER
The correct answer is C.

EXAMPLE 5 Model a dropped object with a quadratic function
Science Competition
For a science competition, students must design a container that prevents an egg from breaking when dropped from a height of 50 feet. How long does the container take to hit the ground ?
SOLUTION
h = – 16t 2 + h0 Write height function. 0 = – 16t 2 + 50 Substitute 0 for h and 50 for h0.
– 50 = – 16t 2 Subtract 50 from each side.5016 = t2 Divide each side by –16.
50
16+ = t Take square roots of each side.
+ 1.8 t Use a calculator.
ANSWERReject the negative solution, –1.8, because time must be positive. The container will fall for about 1.8 seconds before it hits the ground.
