After navigating the obstacle course, the team can create a computer simulation of another
obstacle course. Jen and her friends decide they would like to include a curved pit in their
obstacle course. They want to experiment with the equation and graph of y = x² to see how
adding and multiplying values to the function will affect the parabola.
Use the graphing tool to view the graph of y = x² and explore possibilities for their curved
pit in the questions that follow.
