Outcomes

In this lesson you will

  • Continue the project begun in Section 01 by using technology to determine the equation of the curve of best fit.
  • Use the graph of the equation of the curve of best fit to determine the minimum area.

By the end of this section you should be able to:

  • Model real-world phenomena using quadratic functions.
  • Sketch graphs from descriptions, tables, and collected data.
  • Analyze scatter plots, and determine and apply the equations for the curves of best fit, using appropriate technology.
  • Describe and translate between graphical, tabular, written, and symbolic representations of quadratic relationships.
  • Analyze tables and graphs to distinguish between linear, quadratic, and exponential relationships.
  • Describe and interpret domains and ranges using set notation.
