Name: The Way the Ball Bounces Analyzing Graphs of Quadratic Functions Martin, Nathan, and Pamela are throwing tennis balls that were hit out of the court back to the players. For fun, all three decide to throw a ball at the same time. The graphs represent the height of each tennis ball versus time. Describe what the graph communicates. Attach the four statement cards that best describe the throw represented in the graph.

Analyzing Graphs of Quadratic Functions The Way the Ball Bounces: Statement Cards Cut apart each statement on the dotted lines. Place each card in the column that best describes the throw represented in the graph. Two sets of cards have been provided. Between 0.5 seconds and 0.75 seconds, the tennis ball descended 1 foot. At 0.25 second and 0.75 second, the tennis ball is seven feet above the ground. The tennis ball reaches its maximum height 0.5 second after being thrown. The tennis ball reached a maximum height of 13 feet. Of the three tennis balls, it took the longest time to land. The tennis ball was thrown from a height of six feet. Between 0.5 seconds and 0.75 seconds, the tennis ball descended 2 feet. The tennis ball was above 4 feet for about 1.5 seconds. The tennis ball was above 4 feet for about 1 second. Of the three tennis balls, it took the shortest amount of time to reach its maximum. The tennis ball reached the same height from which it was thrown when 0.75 seconds had passed. Between 0.5 seconds and 0.75 seconds, the tennis ball ascended 1 foot. Between 0.5 seconds and 0.75 seconds, the tennis ball descended 1 foot.

Answer the question(s) on the inside of each flap. On the outside of the flaps write Analyzing Graphs of Quadratic Functions. Tape in your notebook. Identify the independent and dependent variables. How are the two variables related? A rancher has 100 meters of fencing with which to build a rectangular corral. The graph below shows the relationship between the area and the length of the corral. Analyze the scales on the axes. What values are being used for each variable? Area (square meters) Does the graph have a maximum point or a minimum point? How does this vertex relate to the scenario? Identify the x- and y-intercepts. How do they relate to the scenario?
