It seems that we have put them in the same order in the equations.

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

11:55:30

Give the first of the equations you got when you eliminated c.

RESPONSE -->

I subtracted the first equation from the second and I got 17.1= -337.08a+ -10.6b

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

11:56:06

** STUDENT SOLUTION CONTINUED: Subtracting the second equation from the third gave me 449.44a + 10.6b = -14. **

I did this to find my second equation I think that you can do this

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

11:57:00

Give the second of the equations you got when you eliminated c.

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

11:57:46

** ** STUDENT SOLUTION CONTINUED: Subtracting the first equation from the third gave me 674.16a + 21.2b = -31.7. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I am not sure that I have done this right now....I think that I may have subtracted the wrong equations from each other.

It doesn't make any difference which two equations you use, as long as you don't use the same two equations on the second step as on the first.

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

11:58:55

Explain how you solved for one of the variables.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I subtracted my first new equation from my second new equation and I got 6= 224.72a ....then I divided and got that a= .027

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:00:04

** STUDENT SOLUTION CONTINUED: In order to solve for a, I eliminated b by multiplying the first equation by 21.2, which was the b value in the second equation. Then, I multiplied the seond equation by -10.6, which was the b value of the first equation, only I made it negative so they would cancel out. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I understand what I did but you expalined it alot better. I too multiplied to get the b's to cancel out or go away then I solved for a.

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:00:29

What values did you get for a and b?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

a= .027.....b= -2.47

I am not sure if got the correct answers or not. I do not know if ours need to be the same or not

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:01:38

What did you then get for c?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

c= 77.95

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:02:17

** STUDENT SOLUTION CONTINUED: c = 73.4 **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Our values are pretty close my c value is just 4 away from yours

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:02:52

What is your function model?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

y= .027t^2+ -2.47t+ 77.95

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:03:23

** STUDENT SOLUTION CONTINUED: y = (.0165)x^2 + (-2)x + 73.4. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I used t instead of x but I used the same ideal as you

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:03:48

What is your depth prediction for the given clock time (give clock time also)?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

21.462

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:04:29

** STUDENT SOLUTION CONTINUED: The given clock time was 46 seconds, and my depth prediction was 16.314 cm.**

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I pluged in 46 for my t value and got 21.462

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:04:46

What clock time corresponds to the given depth (give depth also)?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

21.462

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

......!!!!!!!!...................................

12:05:54

** The specifics will depend on your model and the requested depth. For your model y = (.0165)x^2 + (-2)x + 73.4, if we wanted to find the clock time associated with depth 68 we would note that depth is y, so we would let y be 68 and solve the resulting equation:

68 = .01t^2 - 1.6t + 126

using the quadratic formula. There are two solutions, x = 55.5 and x = 104.5, approximately. **

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I used y= -b +- sqroot( b^2-4ac) / 2(a)

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