Discuss the below:
All of the graphs in this lesson occur in real life. Using the Cybrary, web resources, and other course materials, find a real-life application of each graph.
Relate the application to the specific graph (line, parabola, hyperbola, exponential).
Describe the characteristics of each application as related to the graph.
1) Find a real life application of a straight line (not a line graph, but a graph that is a straight line). There are several in the book and on the web. Describe the characteristics of the graph and how it relates to real life. You do not need to include the graph unless you want to, but make sure you describe it in detail! Remember if you do include your graph, you will most likely need to upload the file. Cite your sources (include page number if you obtain it from a book)!
2) Find a real life application of a parabola. There are several in the book and on the web. Just do a search for "application of parabolas" or something along those lines. Describe the characteristics of the graph and how it relates to real life. You do not need to include the graph unless you want to, but make sure you describe it in detail! Remember if you do include your graph, you will most likely need to upload the file. Cite your sources!
3) Do the same thing as in 2) for a hyperbola. Cite your sources!
4) Do the same thing as in 2) for an exponential function. What makes this application exponential? Cite your sources!
