https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s Our Amazing Padlet for this project that we are doing and presenting on the 8th of December en-us 2016-12-07 16:49:10 UTC 2025-11-24 16:11:59 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142346673 The start to any great quadratic application problem is a fun, simple brain storm]]> 2016-12-07 16:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142346673 https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142348121 Saxton throws a paper ball from the ground in a squatting position. It leaves his hand and reaches a max height of 1.9812 meters. The bottom of the trash which he is aiming from is 3 meters away from him.

a. Draw a picture (or in our case show a video) and identify key points

b. Formulate and equation using either quadratic regression or matrices

c. Graph the situation]]> 2016-12-07 16:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142348121 https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142348791 1. List the points of the graph: (0,0) (1.5, 1.9821) (3,0). (Using Brandon as a reference point and measuring in feet, we then converted the max height, 6"9', to meters).

2. Square all of the x values, and place them within the first column of matrix A to find our a value (low to high going down). After, place the x values within the second column to find the value, and 1 for all the rows in the third column to find the c value.

3. Place all of the y values within matrix B, in the same order as matrix A.

4. Multiply the inverse of matrix A by matrix B.

5. Using the points within the matrix product, we now have our a, b, and c values, and can place them into the standard quadratic equation:

(0,0), which is also are y intercept, reprsent the hieght which the ball starts at. (3,0) represents the finally landing place of the ball a.k.a the bottom of the trash can.]]> 2016-12-08 00:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142448398 rickabaugha3547 https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142449425 2016-12-08 00:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142449425 rickabaugha3547 https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142449596 2016-12-08 00:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142449596 rickabaugha3547 https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142449628 y=(-6607/7500)x^2+(6607/2500)x+0]]> 2016-12-08 00:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142449628 rickabaugha3547 https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142465648 2016-12-08 05:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rickabaugha3547/31ismprq7r0s/wish/142465648
