Homework -Day 3
You are an engineer who has to create a roller coaster for Six Flags. You need to create four
different loops to your roller coaster. Write 4 sets of polynomials to solve and plot on a graph.
The graph must clearly label all of the important information of your polynomial.

Goal: Your job is to create 4 sets of polynomials to be graphed.

Role: You are an engineer.
Audience: The target audience is the head of the roller coaster committee in Six Flags.
Situation: The task requires that you create your own equation(s), solve and simplify, and how
to plot information on a graph.
Product/ Performance and Purpose: You will create a “spreadsheet” of all the information
needed for your loops to be built.
Standards & Criteria for Success: Your work will be graded based on your ability to create
your own own questions (a set of polynomials to solve and to plot), your usage of a method
learned in class and how you simplified, and the plotted and labeled graphs.
