You will have 2 minutes after the bell rings each day to answer the clicker question …STARTING TODAY!!! If the distance/time graphs drawn on the board show your journey from school to your house (where a distance of zero corresponds to you arriving at your front door), which graph shows you WALKING at a constant rate of change?
Daily Agenda8/29/11; MATH 1 • MM1A1g: Rate of Change • EQ: How can we compare the rates of change of our parent functions? • Notes: Handout FYI: You are not required to write anything contained within a cloud.
REVIEW: From our activity Friday… How did we find the rate of change for the first 50 seconds of Jin’s journey? Was this rate of change constant? Does the entire graph of Jin’s journey have a constant rate of change? Why or why not? Distance (in 100’s of yards) Time (in seconds) America’s Choice, Unit 1 Lesson 5
EXAMPLE 1: Find the rate of change for the following function. *What information do we need before we can find the rate of change? *What family does this function belong to? *For this family, what do we usually call the rate of change?
EXAMPLE 3: Can you find the rate of change for this function? f(x) = x2 *What information do we need to start? *f(x) belongs to what function family? *How is this rate of change different from the previous example?
EXAMPLE 4: Try one more like the last one… *Pick two pairs of points*
