Part I. Read and reflect on the passage Luke 15:8-10 Parable of the Lost Coin
Navigate to the threaded discussion below and respond to the following: What would happen at your house if you misplaced some cash that equaled one day’s pay? Do you ever take time to think about how God celebrates who you are? Why is it sometimes hard to believe that God feels this way about us?
Part II. Navigate to the threaded discussion below and respond to the following:
Conduct an experiment similar to the above example in the Introduction. For your initial post, explain in detail the rational for and how you set up the experiment. Explain how you performed the experiment. Explain the math involved in factoring your polynomial and provide a detailed explanation of your result.
Compare the mathematical result to the actual time it took for your object to hit the ground. Here is the example: Falling Object Introduction and Alignment This discussion will provide you an opportunity to get assistance and feedback from your classmates involving a small experiment. If you drop an object, its height above the ground can be given by the polynomial equation 0 = –16t2 + h, where h is how many feet above the ground at time t seconds after you drop it. You can predict the height the object was dropped from by using the recorded time it takes for the object to hit the ground. Or you can predict the time it takes for the object to hit the ground by using the height the object was dropped from. Let’s suppose you are standing on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. Also suppose you know that the Brooklyn Bridge is 276 feet above the average water level (the ground). When will it hit the ground? It's hard to tell in this form, but if we factor the equation into 0 = –16t2 + h 0 = –16t2 + 276 0 = –16(t2 – 17.25) 0 = –16(t – ?17.25)(t + ?17.25) 0 = –16(t – 4.2)(t + 4.2) 0 = t – 4.2 t = 4.2 seconds About 4.2 seconds after dropping the object should hit the water. Next, I dropped a rock off the bridge. Using my stop watch, it took 4.5 seconds for it to hit the water. In the discussion you need to discuss the factors that could contribute to the difference between the mathematical result (4.2 seconds) and the actual result (4.5 seconds). Upon completion, you should be able to:
• Demonstrate the ability to use factoring with polynomial expressions.
• Use properties of real number systems and operations to solve equations.
• Apply the laws of exponents in order to manipulate an expression or an equation
