I chose cheerleading because I really enjoy it. It taught me responsibility and to never give up. It also taught me to be mentally and physically strong. Cheerleading involves back handsprings, high v's, splits, back tucks etc. Math in cheerleading involves parabolas, rotation, degree of angles, absolute value functions, and more.
Below, is a picture of me doing a high V in desmos. As you can see a high v looks very similar to an absolute value function. I used sliders for b, a, and c. The function is y=|-6+1.2x|+0

This image is of the splits. the angle of my legs on the floor is 180 degrees.
Below is a video of a back handspring and a picture of the arch in a back handspring in desmos. The arch of a back handspring looks like a upside down parabola. I used sliders for a, b, and c. The function of the arch is y=-0.5x^2+3.5x-2.
Below is a video of my friends and I doing a back tuck. We jump up, and at the peak, we tuck our legs, and rotate 360 degrees back on our feet.
