Graphing Systems at the Races
This activity involves solving a system of equations created from a problem I wrote about a greyhound racing to catch a toy rabbit on a mechanical arm. The ending activity involves solving a similar system, only involving another problem I wrote based on the end of a NASCAR race.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/graphing-systems-at-the-races
