1. What is the height of the granola bar from the ground at the base of the cliff when it left Tyler’s hand?
2. What is the name of this special point on the graph?
3. What does the vertex represent in the context of the problem?
4. After how much time will the granola bar reach the height of your answer in problem #3? Explain how you came to your answer.
5. How long does it take the granola bar to hit the ground at the base of the cliff? Show your work of how you came to this conclusion.
6. Tyler and Christina look down and see their friend Chloe climbing the cliff below them! Chloe is 160 feet above the base of the cliff. Tyler calls out to Chloe to catch the granola bar. How long does Chloe have to react, before the granola bar reaches her?
7. Convert the equation that models the path to vertex form. Does this equation show your quadratic function having the same vertex that you got in #3? (Hint: They should be the same!) Show all work!
