  1. CIA Missile Launch Keener Math Pd 7

  2. Team Members • Jeremiah Good- Team Leader, Overseer. • Ty Snyder- Calculations. • Rachel Grove- Designer. • Mitch Grove- Answer checker.

  3. Process • The first step we did was we found the distance from the earth to the moon. • The next step was entering the day numbers and miles traveled into a graphing calculator for each missile, and then graphed this on the calculator. • Next, we found the best fit line for each missile.

  4. Then we graphed the best fit lines and found the point of intersection. • We found the conclusion by knowing that the X variable in the point of intersection is the number of days it took for the missiles to collide. • The Y variable is the mile mark as to where the two missiles collided. • We were able to stop the nuclear missile before it reached the moon.

  5. Graphs • All graphs that were used were calculated using a graphing calculator, therefore all the graphs we made are stored to the calculator.

  6. Calculations • The number of miles from the earth to the moon is 238,897. • The North Korean missiles line path is y=24388.05952x – 21474.39286 • The American missiles line path is y=26176.40476x – 40085.07143 • The point of intersection is (10.11, 225,000.68)

  7. Speed of the missiles • North Korean missile: 3677.99 mph 5919.15 km/day 246.63 km/hour • American missile: 3700.42 mph 142925.97 km/day 5955.25 km/hour

  8. Conclusion • In this problem, we have discovered that the problems we have been solving during class can actually relate to real life. We were able to put our knowledge into a real life problem to help “save the moon”. We came to the conclusion that by using our math skills, we were able to save the moon.

  9. Possible Errors • We could have possibly put a wrong number into the calculator, which will greatly mess up our data. • Also, the rounding of numbers could have made a slight difference in our answers, which could throw off some calculations.
