Models of Vertical Motion
Why do we study parabolic functions? Well, these functions describe many types of things, including the shapes used at skate parks, ski slopes, and the motion of lots of different objects. After being subjected to my lame drawings, students learned about the two different types of vertical motion models--if an object is dropped and if an object is thrown. See page 535 in your book for more information.
Tonight's Homework: Lesson 9.5 ( 71 - 83 ) Set up these problems only, by determining which model they describe and which formula to use. DO NOT solve the problems yet! Also, continue working on the graphing work you started in class yesterday and tell me how the line of symmetry of a parabola is related to the "b" term of the quadratic equation.
P.S. Be sure to discuss whether you and your parents think purchasing a summer math packet would benefit you. All requests for packets are due to me by Friday, April 30th.
