Your post for today is to find at least one thing that you still find puzzling and post about it. You can ask a question, give an example, or find another way to describe it. Make sure that you are VERY clear about what you are puzzled about so I can help you through a reply post.
The thing that confused me today was the simplifying part with the equation on question B.
ReplyDeleteThat was a little difficult. To simplify, check and see if the values share any factors. In this case the numbers were 16 and 64 and they share the factor 16. If both numbers share the same factor, just divide each by the factor they share. That should give you simplest form if you chose the greater common factor.
DeleteSo in order to simplify, the factors have to be the same?
DeleteWhat I am puzzled about is finding the equation to graph a problem but it depends on the table then I can kind of find the equation.
ReplyDeleteWe will practice it more. I usually find that a picture helps me. The great thing about all these equations is that there is a picture that will match the relationship.
DeleteThe simplifying. Because i don't get the numbers and why there in the equation. If that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteThose numbers were in the equation because they match the pattern of the data points. We will practice finding the equations more. Check what I wrote on David's post to see if that helps with the idea of simplifying.
DeleteOk. Thanks Ms. Roshone
Deletethe thing i was confused about was most likely alot of things like the equation (h=16t2+64t)
ReplyDeleteand 3 (Then does the ball reach a height of about 58 feet? explain)
and 4 (use the equation to fid the height of the ball after1.6 seconds)
We will practice getting the equations more. To find a height not on the table, make an estimate based on the numbers there. You can also plug the equation into your graphing calculator and check the table that is created to get an exact amount. For #4, you needed to substitute the 1.6 in for t and do the multiplication following the order of operations.
DeleteThe thing that i'm confused about is the equation & stuff. and like how to put it on the calculator.
ReplyDeleteWell putting the equation into a calculator is something we can practice. The main thing to remember is that our calculators will use the variable x all the time and not any other (today's was t).
DeleteSimplifying equations is what got me confused.
ReplyDeleteMatthew- Check what I wrote for David's post. His was identical to yours so it should cover it. I hope that helps. We will keep practicing it. Today was the first day we were required to do it. You will catch on!!
