MTG 100 Project Spring 2016-2017 Weight 5% Duration: two weeks Due Date: 23rd April 2017 In this project, you are going to explore the graphing calculator and you will see how it works with functions. This is an individual project which you will be working alone in it. Part I: You will be asked first to draw the function f ( x )=x as a basic function using the graphing calculator and get familiar with the different keys. You need to find the following and explain how to get them from the calculator: 1. 2. 3. 4. a table of x and y values the x and y-intercepts Domain Range You will repeat the same exercise for the following functions: a) f ( x )=x +V b) f ( x )=K x 1 (ex . y =x+ 2; y =x3 ; y=x + ) where V is any Real numbers 3 where K is any Real numbers 1 (ex . y =2 x ; y=3 x ; y= x ) 2 Then you have to analyze and write an observation between the Basic function f (x) = x and the functions: i) f ( x )=x +V ii) f ( x )=Kx (in part b) (in part a) Part II: Find a real application to be used for any linear function. There are a lot of real applications in your text book in the word problems to get you started. Your report will include: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) A cover page which include your name, ID, Course Code and title, and your section. Table of contents An introduction The drawing of all functions and a description on how did you do it using the graphing calculator (Part I) An analysis of all your data (Part I) Your application (Part II) 7) Your opinion on the graphing calculator 8) All your reference with citation You can go to www.Desmos.com or look for other graphing calculator, there are a lot more. Important notes: Please try to submit your project on time or before the due date What do I need to hand in? You will be asked to have your project all computerized, it is your choice to be creative to show and explain it with a real life application. Make sure to submit your project through Bb as an attachment. You can use any graphing calculator by Google on line but make sure to state at the end all the resources that you used during this project. Some examples are, www.webgraphing.com, www.mathwarehouse.com or www.desmos.com And look for other graphing calculator, there are a lot more. Good Luck, Jesel Talao
