For this activity, we had a sheet of different quadratics to factor where the coefficient of A was more than one. We had to factor them out so that we could accurately fill out the sheet. Once we had all of the problems correct, an image of an astronaut was revealed.
In the Engage section of the project, we did background research on many different topics related to sea level rise, climate change, and more. We learned from experts on how real world phenomena also present statistics in the world, such as the fact that 65,000 teenagers on average start smoking every month, and that the global sea level rises 42 trillion cubic feet each year.
To further our understanding of math in the real world with ties to sea level rise, we looked at data collected from Fort Pulaski in GA, and used regression analysis to compare the predicted data, with actual data.
