Activity 9: Playing Rugby


(TI-Nspire CAS recommended)
What is the optimal position for a rugby player attempting a conversion?
The aim of this activity is to determine this optimal position and then to study the variations in the angle q obtained depending on the position where the try was scored.
This task enables us to evaluate the advantage gained by positioning oneself as close as possible to the posts before scoring the try.
