After doing the activity I learned how to find the rise over run, which is just sine and cosine. Along with this, I learned how to find out which point is where on the unit circle when using pi. Big takeaways I had was that just because it was sine and the line was vertical, it didn't always mean it was 0. While the same goes for cosine and a horizontal line. Connections I made during this activity were that you only used the 45, 45, 90 triangle for things that were multiples of 45. It helped me to make the right decisions when trying to solve the problems. It was hard because Mr. Cresswell kept saying "Are you sure that's your final answer?" and it scared me.
If you took out a loan of 5000 for a total of 4 years, it would all depend on the type of loan you took out to pay it back. A government subsidized loan will take out an amount of interest/APR. But, all of these interests you have to pay back more than double the cost of what you took out. A non-subsidized loan you have to pay it back while you are still in school or the interest will add up over time. A credit union loan is much more flexible and easier than the others as you can take as much money as needed with a set plan for payment. You have to wait till after 6 months of your graduation to pay back your loans. One way to reduce the interest is to pay them early. The APR on a student loan is 3.25%. The formula is A=P(1+r/n)^nt. It is unrealistic because there is no piece of paper that can be folded that many times and there is no piece of paper that large. The equation used to figure out how many folds would be needed is below with the graph. the blue line is how far it needs to go, while the red line is the amount of folds.
After doing this activity, I learned how to find out whether or not a function is even or odd. They are similar in a way that both are are symmetrical and that both have opposite y coordinates with opposite x coordinates. A difference in the functions is that odd functions flip about the origin and the even functions flip about the y axis. to check to see what a function is, you either use -f(x)) or f(-x)).no family is always even and no family is always odd. A question I still have is when do you get an odd function since you could multiply the whole function by -1 and get the answer you want.
To make the graph I used a quadratic formula then moved the picture to line it up with line created on desmos. I don't think he will make it because Cameron and Logan both said he will and i wanted to be different.
After learning about all of the functions in the 2nd part of the packet, it made it much easier to know how to make things for the smiley face. The functions used in updating my smiley face were the following: quadratic, exponential, absolute value, and horizontal. The quadratic function was used to create the smiley faces mustache, the exponential graph was used to make the part of the hair that went out. Absolute value functions were used to make part of the facial hair, and the middle part of the hair. Lastly the horizontal function was used to make the eye brows and the connecter of the facial hair.
Graph A: Shows a constant incline while the boy was hoisting the flag.
Graph B: Shows that the flag is not moving while time is still going so he must have gotten tired. Graph C: Shows that he was getting tired so he stopped every now and then to catch a breather, then continued to hoist the flag. Graph D: Shows that he didn’t really get the flag moving in the beginning, but after awhile he got the hang of it and got it up. Graph E: Shows that whoever was raising the flag was going slow at first, then faster, and then finished raising the flag slowly. Graph F: He raised the flag after waiting for a few minutes and it went all the way up in one pull. This one is the most unrealistic |
