This math topic practices solving quadratic equation word problems focused on calculating the height or distance of an object from the ground. It involves analyzing quadratic functions representing the trajectory of long jumpers or water jets, and determining the points where these objects land, typically when their height equals zero. The worksheet includes specific equations for each problem, and participants must find the values of the variable that satisfy these equations, with multiple-choice answers provided. The problems aim to enhance understanding and application of quadratic equations in real-world scenarios.
