Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a final marking period project for an advanced algebra and trigonometry class, specifically focusing on finding and creating story problems for various mathematical models including exponential, linear, inverse, absolute value, and periodic functions. Participants are seeking assistance in formulating story problems, particularly for inverse and periodic models.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant outlines the project requirements, emphasizing the need for graphs and corresponding equations for different function models.
  • Another participant expresses frustration over the lack of responses and the urgency of their request.
  • Some participants question whether the original poster is asking for someone to write story problems for them, suggesting they should explore resources like books for examples.
  • There is a suggestion that the original poster may be confused about the terminology, with one participant proposing that they might mean "word problems" instead of "story problems."
  • A later reply humorously suggests two potential openings for a story, indicating a light-hearted approach to the request.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to agree on the nature of the request, with some interpreting it as a plea for direct answers while others suggest the poster should engage more deeply with the material. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the best approach to fulfill the project requirements.

Contextual Notes

There is a lack of clarity on what constitutes a "story problem" in this context, and participants express differing views on the appropriateness of the original poster's request for help.

CP 3 – Adv. Algebra and Trig. – 6th Marking Period Project

Your project for the final marking period of this year:

Find graphs of one example each of exponential, linear, inverse, absolute value, and periodic models from the magazines, newspapers, the internet, or your book (only as a last resort). Make sure you cite the source of the graphs.

For each of the examples of the function models, talk about why this particular phenomenon has graphed out as that particular function model (e.g. why the graph looks like a linear model). Then, find an equation (using transformations and other ideas from the unit) for each of the graphs you have found.

The more outside sources you use, the higher your grade will be. Use your textbook only as a last resort!

Present your results on either a poster-board or in a booklet. Remember, presentation counts.

As always the grading scale is as follows:

On time/Complete 50%
Appearance 20%
Introduction 5%
Results/Discussion 20%
Conclusion 5%






Basically I need a story problem for these raphs.
expoenetial
linear
inverse
absolute value,
and periodic models


mainly need Inverse story problems and Periodic modle stoory problems.

Sopmeboy,...Anybody......:frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:
 
are you asking anyone to write a story for you?
How about you go to the library, or a bookstore and take a look at Algerba the easy way, and Calculus the easy way. They have good stories about these problems above. But as far as I assume, by copying it all, you'd get a straight 0 because most of the people know these books and stories.
 
Why do you want to find "a story problem for these graphs"?

You appear to have given all the directions verbatim and nothing is said about "story problems"!
 
jibran251,
perhaps you are referring to word problems?
 
Time from first post to third plea for someone to help 5 minutes. That is more than a little unreasonable.(not that I have any idea what an inverse story problem is.)
 
As far as I can see you have two openings:

Once upon a time...

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

:-p :biggrin:

This kind of plea shouldn't even be in the homework section - is there not a PF rule about asking for direct answers without any sign of working, or even thinking...
