the BUNGEE
BUSINESS
The CEO of Bridge Bungees, a newly formed bungee jumping business, has hired your team to help the business with financial analysis and safety research. Will the business be able to make money? How long will their bungee cords need to be? Are the bridges strong enough to support the stress?
​​​
SECTION 1
Use spreadsheets to build expressions that will help Bridge Bungees understand how their pricing decisions will impact how many people can afford their jumps and how profitable they can expect their business to be.
​​​
SECTION 2
Experiment with rubber band bungees to build a model for bungee cord length that Bridge Bungees can use to safely select cords for their jumpers. Learn the connections between multiple representations of function to help explain your model to the CEO
​​
SECTION 3
Test the breaking weight of different bridges to investigate functional relationships between bridge strength and different variables in the bridge design.
