8 questions

Today's Learning Goal:
Model both linear and exponential functions with tables, graphs and equations.
Compare the end behavior of linear and exponential functions and make arguments about why exponential functions eventually exceed linear functions.
Make modeling decisions about whether a discrete or continuous model is more appropriate.
Interpret the point of intersection of two functions as the value that occurs when f(x) = g(x).
Reminders:
Discrete functions have distinct and separate values and are used for things that can be counted. (countable)
Continuous functions can have any value within a specific interval and values are connected. (measureable)
Domain of a function: The numbers that can be used as possible inputs
Today's Materials:
Laptop
Pencil
Binder

Learning Focus:
 Make modeling decisions about business plans. 
 Interpret mathematical models to make business decisions.
Determine which type of function grows faster and make arguments about why.  
Which type of function increases faster—linear or exponential?  Which model is best for a given situation, discrete or continuous?  
How can mathematical models help to make business decisions?

If both companies were able to meet their net income growth goals, which company would you choose to invest in? Why?

If both companies were able to meet their net income growth goals, which company would you choose to invest in? Why?

Which company would make most money after 8 years?

When would your projections suggest that the two companies have the same net income? How did you find this? Will they ever have the same net income again?

Which company would make most money after 14 years?

Why did we model as discrete or continuous? Explain.
