Firework Unit

Cover Letter

 

In this unit we were studying quadratic expressions we started off with a problem in which we refer to as the fireworks problem. We were given this problem to see if we could solve it and eventually show growth. I have selected five or more pieces of evidence that will show how I have grown in this unit.

 

Personal Growth

 

I believe that in this particular unit I did grow a lot. At the beginning of this unite I had no idea as to how  to solve this problem as shown in my notebook. As we begin to learn and take notes in class I begin to see that the fireworks problem was basically a problem in which you find the vertex in this case the highest point. Not only that but find the x-intercepts.

Evidence 1 ( Cookie Problem Time constraint)

Our line is the constraint of time which is (I.15)+(P.1)15

In order to graph something, you need at least two points, in this case, the Y and X-intercept well be quite simple to find. “I” or Iced cookies well be are Y and “P” or plain cookies we are X. After Find the Intercepts ( The point were the x on the line is zero is the y-intercept and the point where y is equal to zero in the line is the x-intercept) we then graph the constraint. We test one point on each side of the line the on the point that works in this equation is on the side that should be shaded.

 

Evidence 2 (Cookie problem Cookie Dough Constraint)

This is how we found out if the variable of the constant is equal to the maximum output then they form a line.

 

Evidence 3 (Pastels and watercolors profit and how it affect the slope)

Here we found that if changing one of the values of a variable the point that makes the most profit would change to a different interesting point this is due to the fact that the slope of line grows stepper or decreases with how much the inputs change.

 

Evidence 4 (Rap and rock)

The goal of creating a Graph like this is to find the point that provides the most profit that fits all of the constraints we also found as a class this point will be found at one of the points where there's an intersection between the lines of constraint.

 

Evidence 5 (Pg 308 note book work)

Here we read the constraints in the book then turned the constraints into formulas that we would later graph for example: In the book, it said that there could only be at most 140 cookies how we and there were two types of cookies iced cookie and plain cookies. So we wrote this as I+P140
