Last week we were asked to go to various stations that connected to exponential equations and one that I had chosen was the April Showers Bring May Flowers station (Station 3). I actually really liked this station. In this station, I had to choose four word problems and find the equation, the starting amount, the rate of change, and the answer to the word problem. For example, one of the problems I chose was question 3 that said: Your 2500 gallon pool has sprung a leak and loses 70% every 10 minutes. How much water will remain in the pool after 30 minutes. The starting amount was 2500, the decay rate or rate of change was 70% and the equation was y=2500(.93)^(x/10). The answer I found, after plugging the following equation (y=2500(.93)^(30/10)) into my calculator was 2010.90 gallons.

I really like your post. I think that it is cool how you posted the video into the blog. That is really neat and helpful to help us learn. The image at the top is also cute.
Your post was very nice. I liked how you gave an example of one of the problems you completed. I thought it was nice that you gave all of the information to complete the problem. This would be helpful if someone wanted to figure it out on their own. I also think that is cool that you included a video.

ReplyDeleteThe title is very creative! The picture and video help to make it fun.
