Given Solution: `aThe three points are (10, 80), (40, 40) and (90, 20). From the first point to the second the rise is from 80 to 40, or -40, and the run is from 10 to 40, or 30. So the slope is -40 / 30 = -1.33. From the second point to the third the rise is from 40 to 20, or -20, and the run is from 40 to 90, or 50, so the slope is -20 / 50 = -.4.

Look at your results for the slopes, and look the results for the average rates of change. What do you notice? In what way then does the graph represent the average rate of change? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: The graph shows the average rate of decline. The rise represent the change of depth in cm while the run represents the time that pass. confidence rating #$&*: A little shaky ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aThe slopes and the rates of change are numerically equal. For example between the second and third points the rise of -20 represents the -20 cm change in depth and the run of 50 represents the 50 seconds required to make this change, so the slope represents the -20 cm / (50 sec) average rate of change over the second time interval. We therefore see that slope represents average rate of change. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Need work on problems like this. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: 1 ********************************************* Question: `q003. To what extent do you think your graph with three points and straight line segments between them accurately depicts the detailed behavior of the water over the 80-second period of observation? How do you think the actual behavior of the system differs from that of the graph? How do you think the graph of the actual behavior of the system would differ from that of the graph you made? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Yes, I believe that the actual behavior differs from the graph because the more water pressing down the more rapid the water will exit the container. So the rate of water exiting the container will be more rapid in the beginning and will than decrease which would be a curved line instead of a straight line. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Kind of confident.
.............................................
Given Solution: `aThe straight line segments would indicate a constant rate of change of depth. It is fairly clear that as depth decreases, the rate of change of depth will decrease, so that the rate of change of depth will not be constant. The graph will therefore never be straight, but will be a curve which is decreasing at a decreasing rate. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Need to understand this a little more. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: 2 ********************************************* Question: `q004. From the given information, do you think you can accurately infer the detailed behavior of the water depth over the 80-second period? Do you think you can infer the detailed behavior better than you could the values of the stocks? Why or why not? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: No, I think both of these problems would be difficult to infer detailed behavior. confidence rating #$&*: Not confident ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aIt will turn out that three data points will be sufficient to infer the detailed behavior, provided the data are accurate. However you might or might not be aware of that at this point, so you could draw either conclusion. However it should be clear that the behavior of the water depth is much more predictable than the behavior of the stock market. We don't know on a given day whether the market will go up or down, but we do know that if we shoot a hole in the bottom of a full bucket the water level will decrease, and we expect that identical holes in identical buckets should result in the same depth vs. clock time behavior. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): The given solution makes since. I need to be more logical when it comes to questions like this. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: 1 " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: #*&!
