Assignment
Pick a polynomial equations and factor it out to find the zeros. Graph the polynomial and see if
it represents a roller coaster (does it have minimums and maximums). If it does not have any
mins/max’s, pick another polynomial and apply and operation on it to see what new polynomial
you derive. Find the zeros and graph again. The curves on the graph should represent a
rollercoaster.
GRASPS
Goal: Your goal is to be able to add, subtract and multiply polynomials to help determine a
polynomial equation to accurately measure the curve of a rollercoaster.
Role: You are the head of the construction company designing and building the rollercoasters
for your favorite theme park.
Audience: Fellow coworkers and the people who will ride the rollercoaster.
Situation: You need to find the polynomial that best fits the curve of the rollercoaster you are
going to build.
Product/Performance and Purpose:

 Learn how to apply operations on polynomials


 Enter data in the polynomials and graph to find the best fit curve.
Standards and Criteria for Success: Accurate data and graphs
