Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 5
Model a dropped object with a quadratic function
Science Competition
For a science competition,
students must design a container
that prevents an egg from breaking
when dropped from a height of 50
feet. How long does the container
take to hit the ground ?
Warm-Up Exercises EXAMPLE 5
