Angry Birds #1 WSHS

Notice the path created by the bird from class discussion...
Creating the Model of the Bird's Path
1) Copy the data from above and paste it into the spreadsheet below.[br]2) Have Geogebra run the two variable analysis, showing you the scatter plot and run the linear regression model
Further Analysis - A Better Path
1) Copy the data into this spreadsheet.[br]2) Re-create the scatter plot and then run the polynomial regression model.
Adjust the sliders to equal the coefficients of the model your created earlier; How close was your guess originally to where it would land?
