Birthday Baseball Parabola PDF

The document describes using a person's birthday as coefficients for a quadratic equation to represent their "Birthday Baseball Parabola". It gives an example where someone born on May 25, 1990 would have the function f(x) = -5x^2 + 25x - 90, and specifies rules for determining the sign of coefficients based on someone's last name. It then includes blanks to fill in the equation, interpret various parts of the parabola as baseball stats, and note any transformations.

Birthday Baseball Parabola

Take your birthday and use them as the coefficients for a quadratic equation. For example, Miss Rudolphs birthday is 5/25/90, so her function could be f(x) = -5x2 + 25x 90. If your last name is between N Z, you will have a negative a. Change every other sign.

f(x) =
