169- Quadratic Equations: One by Air, Two by Water

Friday, October 23, 2015: 9:30 AM-10:30 AM
302 (Atlantic City Convention Center)

 

Lead Speaker:
Marshall Gordon


 

Students learn a quadratic equation that serves to determine height as a function of time for a projectile. If the parabolic arc is to come off a water surface, then the exit angle from the water and the horizontal distance the water will travel so as to stay in the fountain need to be incorporated into a new formulation of the quadratic equation.
