Excellent work, Decoders! You've mastered the ancient language. Now, a new discovery has been made at the dig site: a set of shattered stone tablets. Legend says that when the fragments are correctly reassembled, they form a map leading to a greater prizeāan ancient and powerful artifact. Your next mission is to work with your expedition teams to match these 'Ancient Tablet Fragments' and find the location of the Cipher Disk! | ![]() |
Success! Your teams have reassembled the map fragments, and they've led us right to it... The legendary Archaeologist's Cipher Disk. The artifact is dormant, its secrets locked away. Each quadratic you solve from here on out will provide the key to align one more ring. Let's begin the decoding sequence! | ![]() | |
The Artifact is Found: "Deep within the dusty ruins of a forgotten civilization near Lehi, Utah, your team unearths an ancient stone disk covered in cryptic symbols. Its secrets are locked, waiting for a brilliant mind to decipher them. |
Given the Factored Form: x-Intercepts (, ) ( , ) y-intercepts: ( , ) End Behavior: Left Side Right Side | The First Ring Aligns: "Your knowledge of quadratic intercepts unlocks the mechanism of the outermost ring. A few symbols glow, hinting that the path to the treasure has begun to illuminate. | ![]() |
Given the Factored Form: x-Intercepts (, ) ( , ) y-intercepts: ( , ) End Behavior: Left Side Right Side | The Second Ring Clicks: "With the next layer of the code deciphered, the second ring snaps into place. The light intensifies, revealing more of the ancient language and deepening the mystery. | ![]() |
p : 3 Given the equation , find the following. x-Intercepts: (, ) (, ) y-Intercept: ( , ) End Behavior: Left Side Right Side: | The Third Ring Aligns: "Another set of intercepts solved, another ring clicks! The artifact hums with a growing energy, as if the secrets within are stirring | ![]() |
Given the equation , find the following. x-Intercepts: (, ) (, ) y-Intercept: ( , ) End Behavior: Left Side Right Side: | Halfway There: "You're halfway through the puzzle! The light from the aligned rings begins to touch the dormant core, a sign that the heart of the cipher is awakening. | ![]() |
Given the Equation find the following: y-Intercept (BE CAREFUL. Remember the rule. ) (, ) x-Intercept: (, ) ( , ) End Behavior: Left Side: Right Side | The Final Ring Aligns: "With a final surge of mathematical prowess, the last ring slides into its correct position. A powerful energy now flows into the central symbol, ready to reveal its truth. | ![]() |
x-intercepts: (, ) (, ) y-intercept: (, ) Factored Form: y = Double Distribute to get STANDARD FORM: y = x + End Behavior: Left side: Right side: | The Core Awakens: "The heart of the cipher pulses with light! The ancient energy, dormant for centuries, is now fully awakened by your students' sharp minds." | ![]() |
