Intro Question: Dice
building an exponential model. This is a new model for us.
How does that affect the homework?
Question Two: Grains of Rice.
What is modeled well by:
linear equations?
simple interest
constant changes in movement
quadratic equations?
height formulas
distance something travels while in the air. (start with 45 degrees, go from there)
demand curves
exponential equations?
I have a lot of dice. Like, seriously, a lot. But we're going to add these dice in a very specific way (which we will change in class).
Can we create a model that will allow us to estimate the number of dice that we need?
Can we take this question and extrapolate further?
compound interest
populations (for now)
growth and decay
