After doing this activity, I've found that the "rise" is just sin and the "run" is just cos. I learned what every part on a unit circle is and how i can use it to find the trig functions of different radian values. My biggest takeaway was that when a sin function produced a vertical line that it was zero and not an asymptote. The connections I made were that tan values were usually at one on the line graph section. Not having a teacher definitely made the fine details harder to remember which was ultimately the downfall of my assessment.
The radian is a unit that we use to measure angles. A radian is equal to the angle at the center of a circle, the formula of circumference is 2piR and the
If you got a loan of $5000 for 4 years, the length of time it would take to pay back that loan would depend completely on where you got this loan. With government subsidized loans they will take out an amount of interest/APR, but you will have to pay back almost twice the amount that they took out back. While a non subsidized loan you can start paying in college but if you don't your interest may increase. The last loan type is a credit union loan, these are more flexible and don't have to be payed off until 6 months after you graduate college. But if you pay them earlier you can reduce the interest. The APR for a student is 3.25% the formula is A=P(1+R/N)^NT
With the moon being 15,000,000 inches away from the moon it would take 1.5x10^10 folds to reach it. This is unrealistic because you could only fold it in half so many times before the paper would be too thick to fold on itself.
To make a graph I used a quadratic formula to fit the arc of the graph, I predict that he made the shot because the graphs shows it going through the hoop.
My predictions were not very close to the actual graph. They were different because i didn't put much effort into making the prediction as accurate as possible. My prediction was shaped that way because I thought that the longer it went the farther it would go. The zeros of my graph represent the starting point. All of the graphs have the same zero and minimum. The first graph had the highest maximum, the next graph had the second highest, and the third graph had the lowest maximum. When the graphs are increasing at a fast rate the slope is higher, and when the slope is decreasing quickly the slope is lower.
Graph A is an example of a constant rate incline.This graph doesn't show the situation realistically because the graph shows that the flag keeps going up, it doesn't show any kind of plateau.
Graph B is an example of when the flag raises faster than the time is going by. Graph C shows the boy raises the flag fast then slows down, but then starts again and then took another break. Graph D shows that he gradually took the flag up, because the rate of increase was gradual. This is the most realistic. Graph E shows the boy hoisting the flag at a very fast rate, then slowing down, then picking up again. Graph F shows that he raised the flag all at once without time passing, this is the most unrealistic of all the graphs. For this assignment we were given a smiley face on an online graphing calculator, and we had to use formulas to add lines and shapes to add features to the face.
