1. Naomi’s stock portfolio is represented by the formula a = 2t2 + 7t +2, where a is the amount in the
portfolio, in thousands, and t is the amount of time the money has been in the portfolio, in months.
When will Naomi’s portfolio be at a value of 6,000 pesos?

2. The height in feet of a model rocket launched vertically upward from the top of a 64 – feet tall bridge is
given by h = -16t2 + 48t +64, where h is in feet and t is in seconds. How long will it take the rocket to hit
the ground?

Good luck and God bless 😊
