Follow the link and complete 10 practice questions. Record your score on your Graphic organizer.
Step 2: Find an Exponential or Quadratic Function
Use the internet to find a real world example of a quadratic or exponential situation. You may want to google "Exponential middle school example"
Step 3: Rate this video
Watch the following video to and complete the 3-2-1 about it.
Step 4: Correct Rebecca's work
After Rebecca looked at the graph, she wrote the following:
"I think this graph is definately not a linear graph because the rate of change is very different. I think this graph shows a quadratic relationship because when you subtract the differences of the time, you get the same ammount."
Do you think Rebecca is correct? Be sure to explain how you know.
