Outcomes
In this lesson you will learn
- model garden area with fixed perimeters
- use technology to find maxima and minima
By the end of this section students will 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 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
Prerequisites
To be successful in this lesson, it would be helpful to know the following:
- perimeter and area for rectangular regions
- regression analysis to find the curve of best fit
- solving systems using matrix equations
