Question: `qQuery 4 basic function families

What are the four basic functions?

What are the generalized forms of the four basic functions?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

The basic functions are:

liner: y= mx + b or y=x

Quadratic: y= ax^2 + bx + c or y=x^2

Exponential: y= A * 2^(kx) + c or y=2^x

Power: y= A * (x-h)^(p+c) or y= x^p

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** STUDENT RESPONSE:

Linear is y=mx+b

Quadratic is y=ax^2 + bx +c

Exponential is y= A*2^ (kx)+c

Power = A (x-h)^p+c

INSTRUCTOR COMMENTS:

These are the generalized forms. The basic functions are y = x, y = x^2, y = 2^x and y = x^p. **

Question: `qFor a function f(x), what is the significance of the function A f(x-h) + k and how does its graph compare to that of f(x)?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

The A will vertically stretch the graph of the function

the h will horizontally shift the graph

the k will vertically shift the graph

So depending on the values of these the graph will be either stretched making it apper taller or smaller

and then horizontally shifted to the left or right

and then it may me vertically shifted either up or down on the y axis

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** STUDENT RESPONSE: A designates the x strectch factor while h affects a y shift & k affects an x shift

INSTRUCTOR COMMENTS:

k is the y shift for a simple enough reason -- if you add k to the y value it raises the graph by k units.

h is the x shift. The reason isn't quite as simple, but not that hard to understand. It's because when x is replaced by x - h the y values on the table shift 'forward' by h units.

A is a multiplier. When all y values are multiplied by A that moves them all A times as far from the x axis, which is what causes the stretch.

Thus A f(x-h) + k is obtained from f(x) by vertical stretch A, horizontal shift h and vertical shift k.

The two aren't the same, but of course they're closely related. **

Question: `q query introduction to rates and slopes, problem 1 ave vel for function depth(t) = .02t^2 - 5t + 150

give the average rate of depth change with respect to clock time from t = 20 to t = 40

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

When finding Depth(20) = .02t^2 - 5t + 150 I found Depth(20) = 58

When finding Depth(40) = .02t^2 - 5t + 150 I found Depth(40)= -18

SO dt= 20 and dy = -76

dy / dt = 3.8cm per second is the average rate of change

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** depth(20) = .02(20^2) - 5(20) + 150 = 58

depth(40) = .02(40^2) - 5(40) + 150 = -18

change in depth = depth(40) - depth(20) = -18 - 58 = -76

change in clock time = 40 - 20 = 20.

Ave rate of depth change with respect to clock time = change in depth / change in clock time = -76 / 20 = -3.8 **

Question: `qWhat is the average rate of depth change with respect to clock time from t = 60 to t = 80?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

depth(60) = .02(60^2) - 5(60) + 150 = -78

depth(80) = .02(80^2) - 5(80) + 150 = -122

dt = 20 and dy= -44

dy / dt = -2.2cm per second is the average rate of change from 60 to 80

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** depth(60) = .02(60^2) - 5(60) + 150 = -78

depth(80) = .02(80^2) - 5(80) + 150 = -122

change in depth = depth(80) - depth(60) = -122 - (-78) = -44

change in clock time = 40 - 20 = 20.

Ave rate of depth change with respect to clock time = change in depth / change in clock time = -44 / 20 = -2.2 **

Question: `qdescribe your graph of y = .02t^2 - 5t + 150

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

It is the left portion of an upward opening parabola, we can tell because it is a quadratic equation.

It will have a vertex of (125, -162.5)

the point to the right and left will be left= (124,-162.48) and right= (126,-162.48)

and it will cross the x axis approximitley at x= 34.875 and 215.125

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** The graph is a parabola.

y = .02t^2 - 5t + 150 has vertex at x = -b / (2a) = -(-5) / (2 * .02) = 125, at which point y = .02 (125^2) - 5(125) + 150 = -162.5.

The graph opens upward, intercepting the x axis at about t = 35 and t = 215.

Up to t = 125 the graph is decreasing at a decreasing rate. That is, it's decreasing but the slopes, which are negative, are increasing toward 0.**

??? DO I need to include the decreasing at a decreasing rate and slope is increasing. I fill like I have

given a good explination already. I get confused on exactly what information you are looking for and are not looking for???

It's important to be able to think in terms of the rate at which the rate of change is increasing or decreasing. However, your description is good.

Question: `qdescribe the pattern to the depth change rates

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

The average rate of change is decreasing at a constant average rate of .8cm per second between each 20 sec

interval.

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** Rates are -3.8, -3 and -2.2 for the three intervals (20,40), (40,60) and (60,80).

For each interval of `dt = 20 the rate changes by +.8. **

Question: `qquery problem 2. ave rates at midpoint times

what is the average rate of depth change with respect to clock time for the 1-second time interval centered at the 50 sec midpoint?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

For depth(49.5) = .02(49.5^2) - 5(49.5) + 150 = -48.495

For depth(50.5) = .02(50.5^2) - 5(50.5) + 150 = -51.495

dt= 1 and dy = -3

dy / dt = -3 sec avrage rate of depth change with respect the clock time

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** The 1-sec interval centered at t = 50 is 49.5 < t < 50.5.

For depth(t) = .02t^2 - 5t + 150 we have

ave rate = [depth(50.5) - depth(49.5)]/(50.5 - 49.5) = -3 / 1 = -3. **

Given Solution:

** The 6-sec interval centered at t = 50 is 47 < t < 53.

For depth(t) = .02t^2 - 5t + 150 we have ave rate = [depth(53) - depth(47)]/(53 - 47) = -18 / 6 = -3. **

Your solution:

SInce I did something different I found a different pattern. For questions similar to this in the future I will now know what

you are looking for.

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

** The two rates match each other, and they also match the average rate for the interval 40 < t < 60, which is also centered at t = 50.

For a quadratic function, and only for a quadratic function, the rate is the same for all intervals having the same midpoint. This is a property unique to quadratic functions. **

Question: `qquery problem 3. ave rates at midpt times for temperature function Temperature(t) = 75(2^(-.05t)) + 25.

What is the average rate of temperature change with respect to clock time for the 1-second time interval centered at the 50 sec midpoint?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Temp(49.5) = 75(2 ^ (-.05 * 49.5)) +25 = 38.489

Temp(50.5) = 75(2 ^ (-.05 * 50.5)) + 25 = 38.021

dt = 1 sec dy= -.468

dy / dt = -.468 is the average rate of temp change with respect to clock time.

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

f(50.5) = 38.03048331 deg

f(49.5) = 38.49000231 deg

The change is -0.4595190014 deg. The change in clock time is 1 second.

So the average rate is

ave rate = change in temperature / change in clock time = -.4595 deg / (1 sec ) = -.4595 deg/sec.

STUDENT RESPONSE: .46 degrees/sec

INSTRUCTOR COMMENT: More precisely -.4595 deg/sec, and this does not agree exactly with the result for the 6-second interval.

Remember that you need to look at enough significant figures to see if there is a difference between apparently identical results.**

Question: `qwhat is the average rate of change for the six-second time interval centered at the midpoint.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Temp(47) = 39.711

Temp(53) = 36.950

dy / dt = -.460

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

STUDENT RESPONSE: .46 degrees/minute

INSTRUCTOR COMMENT:

The 1- and 6-second results might possibly be the same to two significant figures, but they aren't the same. Be sure to recalculate these according to my notes above and verify this for yourself.

The average rate for the 6-second interval is -.4603 deg/sec. It differs from the average rate -.4595 deg/min, calculated over the 1-second interval, by more than -.0008 deg/sec.

This differs from the behavior of the quadratic. For a quadratic that the results for all intervals centered at the same point will all agree. This is not the case for the present function, which is exponential. Exact agreement is a characteristic of quadratic functions, and of no other type. **
