Good Monday Morning! We are coming down to the finish line. Please make sure you have in all necessary papers. We all want to finish by May 8, 2020.

Assignment
Before assigning any more work, I am going to give everyone a chance to catch up. I have decided that the latest project on hurricanes will be optional. If you do the project, I will add 10 points to your lowest grade. I will be contacting everyone that has not turned in work or that is failing the class. I want everyone to be passing by May 8, 2020. But, that means doing all of the work that have been assigned and graded. If you have turned in the needed work, then GREAT! Those of you who have had trouble, please email me with questions or look on the internet for extra help. We are not done yet, let's keep working together these last couple of weeks.

You will need to read the student pages from the workbook pages 32 - 35, Unit 5, C, Student Activity sheet 8. I have also posted some information that will describe step functions. Please read the information carefully before attempting the assignment. This is a graded assignment that is due Monday, April 20, 2020 by 9:00 am. You will need to show all of your work to get all of the credit. You cannot show answers only. You will need to answer questions 2 through 8.
First 8 minutes of this video : (We are not doing any transformations)
Read through example 1
An explanation of the project is attached in the "Inequality Information" file.

Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope everyone had a restful time. I will start assigning new work on Wednesday. I hope people will get back in the habit of checking this website for information and assignments. Please try and catch up with any missed work and submit it by sending me a picture from your phone or what ever means you use to my school email address. I also get the information if you send it on google docs. to my email address. Please show your work. You will no longer receive full credit for only writing the answers. We will begin piece wise and step functions on Wednesday.

After receiving a few Daylight Projects, I am seeing a common mistake being made. You can not determine the longest and shortest days from the graph. You must go back to the duration charts and look at the daylight times. That is the reason I described the process of finding the "middle" time in a list of repeated numbers. I hope this information helps choose the correct information when completing the project.
The point of the project : Notice the significance of the dates that show the intersection of the cities and the longest and shortest days for each city. These points have particular names in astronomy.
Can you identify: Vernal and Autumnal Equinox and the Summer and Winter Solstice

So sorry for the days that were cut off and hard to read. Here are the numbers that seem to be unreadable for Augusta, Georgia.
Look at the column with the title of Day Length.

We are now going to discuss the length of daylight, Lesson B, activity sheet 4 in Unit 5. (pages 10 - 23) on the student pages that are posted on this website. We all experience the changes in the seasons which is controlled by the rotation of the earth around the sun. Please read some of the sources of information I have listed. All of the directions are attached in the files listed at the bottom of the page.

I am posting the directions for operating the calculator because some of you might have misplaced your original copy. This will be helpful with any of the activities we do for the rest of the year.

Graded Assignment at the end of the information: Due March 25, 2020, Wednesday, by 4:00.
Using Functions in Models and Decision Making: Regression in Linear and Nonlinear Functions V.A Student Activity Sheet 3: Growth Model
Charles A. Dana Center at The University of Texas at Austin
Advanced Mathematical Decision Making (2010) Activity Sheet 3, 4 pages

H1N1—two letters and two numbers—are memorable as the most recent and perhaps greatest public health concern of this decade. The outbreak of this strain of influenza as most similar outbreaks can be simulated using mathematical techniques and models you are familiar with.
The simulation in this activity may create duplications or repetitions. For example, two people may both infect the same person. What are other possibilities of duplications or repetitions in a random number generating based simulation?
These duplications and repetitions are a desired aspect of the simulation because they signal the change from one stage of the simulation to the next stage.
The four stages of are labeled in the following graph. Remember the scenario you are considering here—the spread of the flu virus.

1. What is happening with the spread of the flu virus in the graph?
As you can see, our lesson is very timely with the events of the past few weeks and days. If we replace the H1N1 title with the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we would be up to date.

Please read a few articles on the internet to familiarize yourself with the idea. We will not take this project to the extreme or try to understand all of the mathematical concepts, but we will try and get an idea of the basics connected to logistic curves.
Graded assignment: Due Wednesday, by 4:00.
1. Construct a scatterplot of the posted number chart
I have been in touch with Texas Instrument and they are allowing students to have a free TI 84 on their computer desk top to use for assignments. To access this tool:
go to https:/education.ti.com/ Look for the COVID 19 support Download Now Select software for students TI Smartview CE emulator of TI 84 Plus Type in your email address Download windows smartview That should be it. Don't forget to copy the license agreement number for when it asks for that information. Do not be afraid to call the technical support. They were very nice and patient with me.
Once you have the calculator,
1. go to STAT Edit in list 1 type the days and in List 2 type the number of cases
2. arrow over to calculate go down to B Logistic enter arrow down through list 1, list 2, to calculate enter
3. The equation should appear. It is quite lengthy but just substitute the numbers in where you see the corresponding letters
4. Put the equation into y = (top left button) remember in order to get the letter e you must press the second button
(blue button under y = ) and division sign. the exponent key is also above the division sign. Copy it exactly as shown on the calculate page. You will need two sets of parentheses. And don't forget the negative sign in the exponent.
5. Set your windows for X min, X max , scale, Y min Y max, and scale
6. Graph
7. Trace (next to the graph button)
Graded on: Tell me the equation you got from calculate And when you use the trace button, tell me the y value for:
1. 4.848484
2. 8.484848
3. 12.121212
4. 14.242424

I have provided a small article and assignment on linear regression and the correlation coefficient. You have an assignment listed at the end of the article that is due by 4:00 pm Friday afternoon. Please familiarize yourself with the linear regression process and Monday we will move on to a new concept. The work should be sent to my email address at [email protected].
The meta calculator is cited on March 17, 2020 page.

I know that this will be difficult for all of us as we adjust to our new format. Please be patient as I work through the process. I will do my best to stress the main ideas that need to be covered and I will include videos when appropriate. I will be available on a daily basis for any questions you may have. I have not determined the times I will be at the computer, but I will let everyone know. I am thinking along the lines of two hours in the morning, possibly 10:00 until 12:00 and again in the afternoon from 1:30 until 3:30. I will keep you informed via my website on the school web page. You can email me anytime at: [email protected] Please stay healthy and we will all work together to make our "Learning From Home" productive. Ms. Johnson
