November 1 blog scribe

  • Hey Everyone I am subbing for the scribe today!!!!
  • Toderdash is scribing on Monday
  • There is no school tomorrow
  • Test Tuesday
  • 25 objectives due by 3:40 today

    Today we did mental math! some very lovely questions about 35 kids coming to the door and each getting 6 candies how many did I give away and how 10 candies are $.25 each how much did it cost to buy the Candy? This took up a good 10-15 minutes of class.

    We then saw a picture of of Mr Max family
    And noted the pumpkin to the right of the picture it was throwing up!!













Then we worked on Accelerated Math.
Alot of people were having problems with the amusment park questions so this is how to do it:




The amusement park
1991-190000 this is four years (important to remember)
1995-469000
These are the answeres given:
A) f(t)=190000e^(0.216t)
B) f(t)=190000e^(0.226t)
C) f(t)=279000e^(0.226t)
D) f(t)=279000e^(0.216t)

This is an exponential situation
There has been an exponential growth.
These are your window settings.
X min -2
X max 6
Y min -100000
Y max 500000

You cannot be C or D because it is not the original number of people so that brings down to a fifty-fifty chance, the only difference is the exponents you have to try both of them in your calculator, and the answers are very close together.
You have to trace at 4 years because the polls are four years apart.
One of the numbers should be closer to the amount of people attending the amusement park in 1995 than the other so it is the answer.
