She has finally mastered the trick of flipping the pancake from the pan onto the plate. The center of the plate is 23 inches away from the center of the pan (where the pancake started). The pancake reaches it's maximum height of 13 inches and lands successful in the center of the plate. ]]> 2016-12-07 18:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/wheelera1262/34nbhyxxvobd/wish/142372520 mcfarlands1477 https://padlet.com/wheelera1262/34nbhyxxvobd/wish/142374460 You will then use your matrix to form your equation]]> 2016-12-07 18:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/wheelera1262/34nbhyxxvobd/wish/142374460 wheelera1262 https://padlet.com/wheelera1262/34nbhyxxvobd/wish/142376419 The pancake starts at the center of the pan (0, 0), reaches its maximum height of (11.5, 13), and lands at (23, 0) at the center of the plate.

We chose the quadratic formula. The solutions represent when the pancake was at the exact level as the plate, so, where it began and where it ended. ]]> 2016-12-08 04:12:25 UTC https://padlet.com/wheelera1262/34nbhyxxvobd/wish/142463155 wheelera1262 https://padlet.com/wheelera1262/34nbhyxxvobd/wish/142463755 Since the c value in our equation is (0, 0), that is the y intercept. The y intercept represents how high the pancake is when it is leveled with the center of the pan on the x axis, in other words, it is when the pancake leaves the pan. ]]> 2016-12-08 04:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/wheelera1262/34nbhyxxvobd/wish/142463755 wheelera1262 https://padlet.com/wheelera1262/34nbhyxxvobd/wish/142464019 The vertex of our equation is (12.273, 13.53), and it represents when the pancake is at its highest point of its flight.]]> 2016-12-08 04:32:32 UTC https://padlet.com/wheelera1262/34nbhyxxvobd/wish/142464019
