Graphing/Using Calculators Learning Project/Assignment

This assignment will be due _________________________.

Project Option
Create a “How To” manual for next year’s Applied 30S class on how to do each of the
things on the “What you should be able to do” list.

You may work alone or with a partner.

Assignment Option:
STAT Plot
1. Enter the following data into lists on your calculator.
Time Height
0.00 1.43
0.50 13.41
1.00 21.38
1.50 26.86
2.00 32.54
2.50 33.71
3.00 34.34
3.50 27.24
4.00 25.18
4.50 15.81

Graph the data from these lists using STAT Plot. Sketch the graph and record the
Window settings you used.
BASIC Graphing
2. Use the following window settings (Xmin=-10) to graph these three lines in Y1, Y2
and Y3. Sketch your graphs below:

y1 = 2 x 1.25x , y2 = 0.6x - 2, y3 = x2 + x - 2

3. Graph the following equation and record the window settings you used so that
you can see its vertex:

y = −4.9 x 2 + 50 x + 50
REGRESSION Equations
4. Use the data from equation 1.
Calculate a quadratic regression equation from that data. Record the equation
below in human-readable form. Round decimals to 2 decimal places.

Use the graph of the regression equation to determine the following:

a) the maximum height of the object
b) the exact starting height of the object
c) the exact height of the object after 2.75 seconds
d) the exact time the object hits the ground

5. Write this ExpReg (generated by the calculator) in human-readable form. Round

to three decimal places:
