Module algebra ii - parabolic projectile project
activity
using the graph paper provided and the launching device, you will create a unique parabola.
using at least 3 data points on the graph, you will then a.) create a storyline or theme and b.)
complete the following analysis,
1. (16 pts) place the x-axis and the y-axis on the graph, create an appropriate scale create a title
and axis labels
title:
y-axis dimension (units):
x-axis dimension (units):
2.
(6 pts) list at least 3 ordered pairs that
lie on the parabola (across a broad range).
6. (7 pts) what is the domain of this
parabola?
7. (6 pts) what is the maximum value of this
parabola?
3.
(12 pts) use regression to calculate the
standard form of the quadratic
equation
8.
(7 pts) where does the graph cross the
y-axis (y-intercept)? what does this
represent?
a.
(7 pts) use the 2nd calc feature to find
the vertex
5.
9.
(12 pts) write the quadratic equation in
vertex form
(7 pts) where does the graph cross the
x-axis (x-intercepts)? what does this
represent?
10. (20 pts) creativity, quality and detail (points based on comparison to other projects)
