An engineer designing part of a roller coaster track that can be modeled by the polynomial function
f x =2.0 x10 "X-0.0011 x +0.195x² - 12.25 X+250
X is the
where fx is the height in feet of a roller coaster car above ground level, and
horizontal distance in feet.
For this section of track, the domain is 0sx5250
The factored form of this function is:
X-502
f x =2.0 x 10(x-200)(x-250)
Work with your team to develop a "picture" of the ride and describe the experience of a rider
who is riding a roller coaster on this track. As you complete the task, be sure to write down all
your data and assumptions and use your graph, numbers, words, or algebra to explain how you
reached your conclusions.
