Angry Birds Quadratics Project
Red Bird, Yellow Bird, Blue Bird and Black Bird are angry with the pigs. The pigs stole the bird’s eggs. The birds want their eggs and will stop at nothing to get them back! The flight path of the birds can be modeled with a parabola. Use “x” as the distance and “y” as the height. Step 1: The data for each bird is attached. For each bird, you need to determine the following: 1) The maximum height 2) The axis of symmetry 3) The distance traveled Step 2: Create a graph representing each bird’s trajectory. Include the pigs on the graph. Step 3: Answer the following questions: 1) Which bird flew the highest? 2) Which bird flew the longest? 3) Which bird hit which pig? Step 4: Present your information any way you wish. Make sure that your project includes all parts (with your calculations) and is neat. Grading Rubric for Angry Birds Project
