Question 1189791: I need some help for a project please, and this project is due tomorrow.
Here is the exercise

Suppose you decided to become a structural engineer who specializes in roller coaster design.
Your job is to design your own roller coaster ride. To complete this task, please follow these steps:
The amusement park you are designing for, gave you the following coaster requirements:
- your coaster ride must have at least 3 relative maxima and/or minima
- the ride length must be at least 2 minutes (120 seconds)
- the coaster ride starts at 250 feet
- the ride dives below the ground into a tunnel at least once
1. List all roots or x-intercepts of your polynomial; be sure to include at least one of each of the following on your
design: one double root (multiplicity of two) and at least 2 real roots.
Remember: The x-intercepts you select will be somewhat random. You will have to play around with the intercepts
you choose to get a picture of the graph that you like and is accurate. You should use time in seconds as your
independent variable. Your ride has to be at least 2 minutes (120 seconds long) so keep that in mind when you are
selecting x-intercepts to use.
2. Create an equation using your x-intercepts (from question #1) and the y-intercept. Once you have an equation
to model your polynomial, you should graph it using Desmos or a graphing calculator to make sure the graph is realistic, meets requirements and represents the constraints accurately.Write the complete factored form of your roller coaster polynomial.
3. Write the complete factored form of your roller coaster polynomial.
4. Find the equation in standard form that represents your roller coaster ride.
5. Describe the end behavior of your function and give a reason for this behavior.
