    Roller Coaster Lab: Solve 2 Cubic Polynomials & Graph Solution

    I'm still here and still confused. I think the thing that confuses me is how to solve for a and b. I have the same lab again but with different variables and I still can't figure it out. I know what d and c is for both equations but I can not solve for a and b. My starting point is (0,50)...

    Roller Coaster Lab: Solve 2 Cubic Polynomials & Graph Solution

    Okay so I have been trying to figure this out and I still just don't get it. I took the derivative of the first equation and then plugged in 0 for x and 50 for y. That tells me that c is also equal to 50. Now how am I able to figure out what a and b are as well as plugging in the slope. I...
