Description
In this session we will use parametric equations to build a model for the motion of a Mars rover to show how we can use linear and quadratic equations to model the motion of various objects in the plane. Then we will use the distance formula to create a model to find out how close the rover gets to its intended target. We will use the TI calculator to graph the parametric equations and the distance function.
Appropriate for Math 8, Math I and II, AFM and Precalculus students.
