Through out this project we learned a lot about quadratic equations. From how to be written to the different forms they can be in. One of the main focuses was converting them between the different forms. Standard form, Vertex form, and Factored form. These all were good to know for the easiest way to solve a problem depending on wha the problem would ask you for.
For the postcard in specific we had to show parabolas and how they could fit or relate to everyday things. For mine i decided to show how they related and connected to radio waves. This for me that is something that we use everyday. Many people listen to the radio everyday and the shape of the radio wave worked well for this type of problem so I decided to do this.
Overall I felt like this project was very interesting. The hardest part for me was finding something that I found interesting to actually focus on for the topic on the postcard. Overall the project was interesting and I am happy with my final product.
