Rollercoaster project SUCCESS!

And (drum rolls), here are all the other rollercoaster projects! They are wonderful!

The basic requirements are that they must have 5 segments, and it must be smooth and continuous at all points. The leftmost and rightmost x values must match in their function and derivative values, in order to form a loop!

  2. Hi! Here is the handout I gave them: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9GuwbUfAT6Md2lvdjhFeDhYZDA/edit?usp=sharing . Somewhere on the screen there should be a link to download the Word file.

    But, I took this from http://www.mastermathmentor.com/calc/calc-projects.ashx , so you can look there at the original instructions.
