Ex.3 A soccer ball is kicked from ground level with an initial vertical velocity of 32 ft/s. After
how many seconds will the ball hit the ground? Also, give the domain and the range for this
real world situation.
Did you know that there is actually a form of a quadratic function where you can see the zeros
Consider ( ) =
+ 2 − 3. That same function in factored form is ( ) = ( + 3)( − 1)
without graphing or a table? It’s called factored form or intercept form.

Put ( ) = ( + 3)( − 1) in the calculator and look at the zeros. How are they related to
this function?
