Hey guys i have a little assignment for you guys to do. My students have had a tough time doing this and i wanted to see if any of you can get this right.The first person to get this correct i will help them with any math related problems for a week. Good luck
Activity 1: Graphing
An archer releases an arrow at shoulder height.
• Measure the distance from the floor to your shoulder when you are standing.
Suppose you release an arrow and it hits the target at a point 5 ft above the
ground. Sketch a possible parabolic path of your arrow’s fl ight using this
information.
Archery is one of only a few sports in which athletes using wheelchairs can
compete with other athletes.
• Measure the distance from the fl oor to your shoulder while you are sitting
in a chair. Sketch the possible path of an arrow released by someone using a
wheelchair.
• Describe the similarities and differences between your two sketches.
Activity 2: Analyzing
An archer releases an arrow from a shoulder height of 1.39 m. When
the arrow hits the target 18 m away, it hits point A. When the target is
removed, the arrow lands 45 m away. Find the maximum height of the
arrow along its parabolic path.
Activity 3: Modeling
Archers need to use arrows that do not bend easily. Th e table shows how the weight of
an arrow affects its spine, or the distance the center of the arrow bends when a certain
constant weight is attached. Graph the data in the table to find a linear and a quadratic
model for the data. Use the regression feature on your calculator to find each model.
Which model is a better fit? Explain.
