Question

Is any one taking Algebra ll on FLVS ?

Answer 1

Yes, I'm taking Algebra 2 lol, I'm pretty sure a lot of people are since these people ask the same questions.

Answer 2

lol, can you please help me?? what module are you on?

Answer 3

5

Answer 4

i´m on 8.11 and have been for days. i´ve been stuck on this one dumb question

Answer 5

Have you tried asking on here?

Answer 6

yes but it asks me to compare something with the activity i just did, so it´s kind of tuff to make people understand it. I´ll post it right now, tell me if you would get it

Answer 7

What is a limitation of this activity in comparison to exponential functions? In other words, what happens in this activity that doesn’t happen with other exponential functions demonstrating
half-life?

Answer 8

i had to plot points on a graph, then convert it into a logarithmic function and then into a half life function

Answer 9

that sounds way beyond my knowledge, lol im sorry!

Answer 10

haha, it´s fine

Answer 11

who´s your teacher?

Answer 12

Mrs. Barney, what about you?

Answer 13

Mrs. Autumn Combs

Answer 14

I haven't heard of her before haha

Answer 15

I can only guess at your problem, but in the "real-world" a function decaying with a half-life eventually decays to 0. On the other hand, the mathematical half-life formula never reaches 0, even after an infinite amount of time (it just gets *really close*)

Answer 16

thanks!

Answer 17

can you help me with this last one? What might happen if you were to include one more trial on the graph demonstrating that no object landed face up?

Answer 18

i had to make a graph about how many times a penny would land face up after i threw them in the air several times and eliminated them one by one

Answer 19

i did it 4 times and plotted the point on a graph.

Answer 20

what do you think might happen?

Answer 21

the graph would decay?

Answer 22

@phi

Answer 23

yes, but by how much?

Answer 24

im not sure

Answer 25

It should follow the same pattern as the 1st 4 points.

what did you get for the first 4 pts?

Answer 26

(1,15) (2,9) (3,4) (4,1)

Answer 27

I think the theory is
(1,16), (2,8), (3,4), (4,2), (5,1)
your numbers look pretty close (good). I would say the answer is it decays by 1/2
and you should expect (5,1)

Answer 28

thanks!
