Factoring
What Does factoring a quadratic equation has to do with determining the path of a projectile? Factoring can help you graph the data and find the parabola. The parabola indicates the height, and how far it goes in the air. Also, where the projectile lands. The begining and end of the parabola tell you where the projectile started and ended. The middle of the parabola shows you the projectiles highest point reached was. -
