Problem 2
Kim has a small container and a large container as shown.
[IMG]
It takes 16 of the small containers to fill the large container. Three small containers leave 1.95 gallons of space in the big container.
What is the size of each of the two containers?


Concept/skill: 
Prove that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions.

Answer: 
No. Completing neither of these problems requires replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other equation.

standard_description: Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
problem_activity: Problem 1
A business is marketing its product and has collected data on sales and prices for the past few years. The company, through careful modeling, has determined that their profit is dependent upon the selling price of the item and that it follows a quadratic model.
The function below describes the profit,
$$P$$
, dependent upon the selling price,
$$s$$
, of its product.
$$P(s)=-20s^2+1,400s-12,000$$
a.  Write the function in intercept form and identify the roots.
b.  Explain what the roots mean in context of the situation.
c.  Write the function in vertex form and identify the vertex.
d.  Explain what the vertex means in context of the situation.
Problem 2
The height,
$$h$$
, in feet, of a projectile launched upward from a bridge is given by
$$ h=-16t^2+16t+96$$
, where
$$t$$
is time in seconds.
Write the equation in vertex form.
How long does it take for the projectile to reach maximum height?
What is the maximum height of the projectile?
