Determine whether the ordered pair is a solution of the inequality.

1. y < x 2 1 4x 1 1, (0, 0) 2. y > x 2 2 x 1 4, (2, 7)

3. y 2x 2 2 5x 1 2, (2, 1) 4. y 2x 2 1 3x 1 2, (23, 4)

5. y < 2x 2 1 6x, (6, 25) 6. y > x 2 2 2x 1 8, (21, 24)

Match the inequality with its graph.

In Exercises 28 and 29, use the following information.

Construction Incident A hammer is dropped from the top of a 500 foot tall building
being constructed. The height of the hammer can be modeled by h 5 216t 2 1 500 where
h is the height (in feet) and t is the time (in seconds). A construction worker, who is busy
on a floor that is 100 feet from the ground, sees the hammer fall.
28. Write an inequality that shows when the hammer is above the construction worker.

29. For what values of t is the hammer above the construction worker?
