The Amazing PRINTABLE Quadratic Equation Test:
Your name goes HERE:___________________________________
in STANDARD FORM, this number is the product of the "a"
and the "b" coefficients. Find it, and you will have the first
letter to the password.2.) The second letter to the password corresponds to the answer to this question.
If you hate factoring quadratic equations in order to use the zero product property to find their answers, you can always rely on the good old QUADRATIC FORMULA which is:
3.) The DISCRIMINANT of a quadratic equation is the part which determines how many answers it will have. You can find the discriminant by taking:
6.) The sixth password letter corresponds to the answer(s) to
7.) Matt has planted a lovely bed of flowers in his front yard. He has passionate, pink, pansies, and dizzying, dazzling, daisies, and a few topsy-turvy tulips in the back. The bed is 4 feet wide and 7 feet long. He is making a gravel walkway of uniform width all the way around the flower bed.
If the total area of the bed and the walkway is 45 square feet, the answer that corresponds to the seventh letter of the password is the width of the walkway, rounded to the nearest tenth of a foot.
8.) The eighth letter of the password can be found with the answer to this mystery.
Clayton just robbed Fort Knox. He stole a cube of gold valued at well over $3,000,000. He needed a place to hide the gold where only he would ever find it. So this is what he did.
He mixed up a batch of cement and tinted it the color of stone. Then he made a mold 3 inches wider and 4 inches longer than the top of the gold cube.
He then pressed the gold into the mold until it was completely covered with cement. He let it dry to a hard, rectangular piece of fake stone and placed it as one of the many different rectangular blocks in his garden retaining wall.
He would remember which block held the gold by remembering that its front face had an area equal to his lucky number, 333.
How long was the original gold cube, to the nearest tenth of an inch?
9.) Password letter nine is paired with the answer to this physics problem.
When Guy throws a ball into the air on the surface of the Earth, it will return and eventually hit the ground because of gravity. In fact, the quadratic equation,
will tell you how high "h" the ball will be after "t" seconds. Use this equation to tell when the ball will be 10 feet off the ground, to the nearest hundredth of a second.
*HINT: remember there will be TWO answers to this, because the ball will be at 10 feet on the way up AND on the way back down.
10.) 
Myrtle
our mystery, math, magician is mixing up numbers again.
The first number she throws in the pot is three more than two times as much as the second number. When these two numbers are mathemagically multiplied, the resulting product is 111. What is the positive, second, number rounded to the nearest tenth?
