623 - C block - due Monday 14.03.31

1. finish 4.4 ws - practice finding exponential models

* the answer to #1 - y = 380.87(3.1876)^x  after 3 hours = 12.336
* solutions to #2 and #3 on the 4.4 practice ws - click here!
* the answer to #4 - y = 63.17(.5)^(x/30)   after 65 years = 14.07

2. chapter 4.4 quiz - finding exponential models! let's make it 2 problems (maybe one growth and one decay??) for a total of 16 points.

This could be a great opportunity to give your term 3 grade a little kick... 

STEPS:
1. set up two equations y = ab^x (plug in y and x values) - BIGGER EXP ON TOP!
2. divide to cancel a's
3. solve for b by raising both to reciprocal power
4. solve for a by plugging b value into original equation with smaller exponent
5. exponential model y = ab^x with knows values for a and b.

623 - E block - due Tuesday 14.03.04

QUIZ - chapter 3.2 - 3.5

what do you need to know how to do?

3.2 - know each of the different "parent" graphs and how they shift when values are added or subtracted from x and y (in the equation).

3.3 - know how to find mean, median, mode, range, IQR, variance, standard deviation and how they are affected when values are added or subtracted from each of the data values. 4 of the measures do not change!

3.4 - know what makes a graph even / odd / neither.

even: f(x) = f(-x) which means when you plug in the opposite x-val, you get the same y-val
        symmetric to the y-axis
        can shift up or down and still be even

odd: f(x) = -f(-x) which means when you plug in the opposite x-val, you get the opposite y-val
        symmetric to the origin
        rotates 180 degrees around the origin onto itself
        can NOT shift at all and still be odd

3.5 - graph stretches and contractions
        if y is divided by 'b' in equation - y-val times 'b' on graph (vert stretch)
        if y is multiplied by 'b' in equation - y-val divided by 'b' on graph (vert contraction)
        if x is divided by 'a' in equation - x-val times 'a' on graph (horiz stretch)
        if x is multiplied by 'a' in equation - x-val divided by 'a' on graph (horiz contraction)

        on the quiz you are going to need to know how a single individual point moves.
        ex. if the point (8, 22) lies on f(x) and f(x) is multiplied by 2, what point lies on the new
        graph? answer: x does not change. y values are divided by 2. (8, 11)

as per request... 3.2 (graph shifts) packet solutions... i didn't list domain and range - i wrote the shifts instead - if you have domain and range questions - just email me.
