INTRO TO THE BRACHISTOCHRONE CURVE
The brachistochrone is a famous curve in mathematics that relates to the question:
"If you were to roll a ball down a ramp, which ramp will get the ball down in the shortest amount of time?"
Most people think it is a straight line, but you may be surprised!
Watch the video below (watch from 16:43 to 24:15) and then answer the questions below. (I have about 4 or 5 headphones to borrow in class above the calculators, otherwise use your own or turn on subtitles by clicking on the CC button in the lower right portion of the video)

Questions for Brachistochrone Video (watch from 16:43 to 24:15):
1) The shortest distance (a straight line) produces the fastest or slowest path?
2) In your own words describe why the brachistrochrone is the fastest.
3) What does tautochrone mean?
4) A brachistochrone is also a tautochrone, which means what in terms of where you drop the ball on the ramp and the time it takes to get to the bottom?
