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.

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.

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
6
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.  
 
Just for some additional information:
 
You might remember the Growth Rate Project of the Bears from Unit 4 as a good example.
 
https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/ecology/population-growth-and-regulation/a/exponential-logistic-growth
 
 
https://pediaa.com/difference-between-exponential-and-logistic-growth/
 
 
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
