There are five parts to this discussion: Read, identify threedifferent variable pairs, create table, create graph, describe inwords. Prepare: Prior to beginning work on this discussion, readChapter 9: Modeling Our World and Chapter 10: Modeling withGeometry in your course text, especially pages 532-3 & 536-9.For this discussion, identify three different variable pairs inwhich two quantities appear to be related from either recent newsstories, the web, or that you encounter in your everyday life. Eachvariable pair should come from a different source (as illustratedin the week 4 Discussion Sample) and there should be three sets ofpaired variables total. Important note: Only one of the variablescan use “time” as an independent variable. For example, you cannothave your variable pairs be (time, dependent variable 1), (time,dependent variable 2) and (time, dependent variable 3). However,you can have your variable pairs be (time, dependent variable 1),(independent variable 2, dependent variable 2) and (independentvariable 3, dependent variable 3). For inspiration, use theexamples listed in the solution to Example 1 on p. 537 of the text,or the Week 4 Discussion Sample Download Week 4 Discussion Sample,MAT205.W4.DiscussionSample.pdf. Be sure to select differentexamples! Create Table After you have identified three differentvariable pairs (from distinct sources), make a table of between 10and 20 entries of data values for each of your variable pairs.Create Graph Then, graph your data values for each variable pairand describe in words the function that relates the variables. Foreach pair, write down at least five (5) points on the graph. Drawthe graph using paper & pencil or use an online graphingcalculator like Desmos Graphing Calculator (Links to an externalsite.). Describe Your Results in Words For each of the pairs youlisted, identify the dependent and independent variables andbriefly describe the relationship. See the week 4 Discussion Sampleto see how these go (You must use different examples; you shouldcomplete three examples total). Your initial post should be atleast 250 words in length. It should show all the required mathwork and explain all the steps. Also include a simple reference forany scholarly resource you used. For example: Washington Post datedAugust 13, 2018 or retrieved from or I consulted example 1 on p.537 of the text. Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 4(Friday), and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to yourclassmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of yourinitial post and the depth of your responses. Carefully review theGrading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will beevaluated. The Easy Way to Plot and Graph Points Use the DesmosGraphing Calculator (Links to an external site.): (You need notcreate an account.) Click on the “+” at the top left corner. Select“table” from the drop-down menu. Type in your points. If your pointis (2, 30), then x1 is 2 and y1 is 30. ** If your points containany values beyond ±10, click the minus sign in the upper right-handcorner a few times to zoom out so you can see the points. ** To adda line connecting the points: Click and hold on the circle withfour dots on it (next to y1). Click the circle next to “Lines” toshow the connecting line. Your graph is done. To share the graph,take a screenshot. [This site will show you how:http://www.take-a-screenshot.org/ (Links to an external site.).Click on the tab for Mac or Windows at the top, if needed.]Alternatively, click on the arrow in a box at the upper right handcorner of the screen, then you can “Export Image” as a .png file(it appears in your “Downloads” folder) and attach this to yourdiscussion post or drop and drag into a Word file.
