Step 1: The data for each bird is on page 2. For each bird you need to determine the following: The maximum height
The axis of symmetry
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:
Which bird flew the highest?
Which bird flew the longest?
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.

Optional Extension: Write an equation for the flight path of each bird.

Blue Birds
“Jim”, “Jake”, “Jay”
Blue bird’s flight is represented by the graph below:

Yellow Bird ( the graph)
“Chuck”
Yellow bird’s flight path can be modeled by the quadratic equation:

y = -x2 + 20x - 64

Black Bird
“Bomb”
Black bird starts his flight path from (2, 0). His flight path reaches a maximum height of 20 yards and lands at point (38, 0).

King Pig
King Pig is located at point (20, 21).

Mustache Pig
Mustache Pig is located at point (13, 27).
