Red Bird, Yellow
Bird, Blue Bird and Black Bird are angry with the pigs!!! The pigs stole the birds' 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 using distance as the
independent variable and the height as the dependent variable. So, x is the ________________________ and y
is the ________________________.
1.Red Bird starts his flight from point (10, 0). His flight
path reaches a maximum height of 18 yards and lands at point (38,0). Graph Red Bird’s flight. Make sure you label all parts of the graph. What is the maximum height the bird
flew? What is the distance the bird
traveled?
The Red Bird’s maximum height is also called
the ______________. Describe how you determined the distance traveled?
Mathematical
Conclusions:
1.If you were playing Angry Birds and had to
pick a bird to use that could go the furthest, which would you choose and
why? Answer in a complete sentences.
2.If you were playing Angry Birds and had to
pick a bird to use that went the highest, which would you choose and why? Answer in a complete sentences.
3.After looking at the distance traveled and
height, if you had to choose only 1 bird, which would it be and why? Answer in complete sentences.
4.Which representation did you find it easier
to determine the distance traveled and maximum height? Why?
Just for Fun…
Let’s see who hits the
pigs!!! Graph and label King Pig and
Moustache Pig on each graph. Which birds
hit the pigs?
