Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square
There are no factors of –7 that have a sum of –5, so solving by factoring is not possible.

55. GRIDDED RESPONSE The population of a town can be modeled by P = 22,000 + 125t, where P represents the
population and t represents the number of years from 2000. How many years after 2000 will the population be

Describe how the graph of each function is related to the graph of f (x) = x 2.
57. g(x) = −12 + x
2
SOLUTION: 2
The graph of f (x) = x + c represents a translation up or down of the parent graph. Since c = –12, the translation is
down. So, the graph is shifted down 12 units from the parent function. 2
58. h(x) = (x + 2)
SOLUTION: 2
The graph of f (x) = (x – c) represents a translation left or right from the parent graph. Since c = –2, the translation
is to the left by 2 units. 2

63. RIDES A popular amusement park ride whisks riders to the top of a 250-foot tower and drops them. A function for
2
the height of a rider is h = −16t + 250, where h is the height and t is the time in seconds. The ride stops the descent
of the rider 40 feet above the ground. Write an equation that models the drop of the rider. How long does it take to
fall from 250 feet to 40 feet?
SOLUTION: 2
The ride stops the descent of the rider at 40 feet above ground, so h = 40. Then, the equation 40 = −16t + 250
models the drop of the rider.
Time cannot be negative. So, it takes about 3.6 seconds to complete the ride.
Simplify. Assume that no denominator is equal to zero.
