    1. The document provides data for three situations - hot tub design, a local crisis of infected people, and timed signatures - to analyze different types of functions. 2. Students are asked to plot the data points on graphs, describe each graph, and answer questions about which data appears linear and how many people will need a vaccine on day 7. 3. Key points are identified for each situation, such as the hot tub dimensions for a width of 4 and what point represents.

    2 Investigating the Growth of Patterns


    Learning Target: I can collect and analyze data with tables and graphs.

    How a pattern grows is a major focus of this course. Understanding how something
    changes can help you make decisions and predict the future. Today you will work in
    your groups to analyze situations that involve different types of functions. Data is
    given below for three different situations.

    Using the data above plot the


    points for each situation on the set
    of axes provided. Note that some
    data points may not fit on the given
    axes. Then describe each graph.
    As you write your descriptions,
    answer the following questions:
    1. What does each graph look like?
    2. Should the points be connected?
    SITUATION #1: HOT TUB DESIGN
    Describe the graph:

    SITUATION #2: LOCAL CRISIS

    SITUATION #3: TIMED SIGNATURE

    Graphs and tables not only represent data, but they also allow you to answer
    questions about the data. Use your tables and graphs to answer the
    questions below.
    a) Which data appears to be linear? That is, when graphed, which data forms a
    line? Explain why it makes sense for this situation to have a linear graph.

    b) The town of Parsnipville will have a flu vaccine available on Day 7. Only
    people who have not yet gotten the flu will need to be vaccinated. Since the
    town has 3800, how many people will need the vaccine on that day? Is it
    easier to answer this question with your graph or with your table? Explain.

    Describe the graph:


    Describe the graph:

    ____________________________________________________________________
    Now that youve plotted the points for each graph, find the point where x = 4 and
    label it with its coordinate. Then explain what that point represents in each
    situation.

    c) Now that Perry knows his options for the design of his hot tub, he wants to
    pick the hot tub that has the smallest perimeter. What do you recommend?

    Situation #1: The point (4, _____) represents _______________________________


    ___________________________________________________________________.
    Situation #2: The point (4, _____) represents _______________________________
    ___________________________________________________________________.
    Situation #3: The point (4, _____) represents _______________________________
    ___________________________________________________________________.

    d) Why isnt there a point when x = 0 on your graph for Lab A? Could there be?
    Explain.
