Question 23274: Maximum cost using the quadratic equations, functions, inequalities and their graphs. It costs Acme Manufacturing C dollars per hour to operate its golf ball division. An analyst has determined that C is related to the number of golf balls produced per hour, x, by the equation C = 0.009x^2 - 1.8x + 100. What number of balls per hour should Acme produce to minimize the cost per hour of manufacturing these golf balls?

Question 23273: We are working with quadratic functions and their graphs. The question is: If a baseball is projected upward from ground level with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second, then its height is a function of time, given by s(t) = -16t^2 + 64t. Graph this function for 0 < or equal to t < or equal to 4. What is the maximum height reached by the ball?
