Quadratic Equations Performance Task

This document is a performance task from Assumpta Academy for their Grade 9 mathematics students. It contains two word problems involving quadratic equations. The first problem models the height of a rocket over time and asks students to find the height at a given time and the time when the rocket will hit the ground again. The second problem describes a rectangular function room with tiles covering part of the floor and asks students to write expressions for the dimensions of the tiled area, formulate and solve a quadratic equation to determine the tile width, and state the uncovered floor width. Students are to show their work and solutions.
