Function
This example demonstrates three students shooting paper wads with a rubber band at a trash can in the front of the room. By analyzing the trajectory of the paper wads, parabolic characteristics can be observed. Key mathematical concepts include parabolas, functions, and stochastic processes. Commands used include If, Polygon, TableText, Max, Min, etc., suitable for high school mathematics education.
