Students have been recognized for their outstanding Algebra 1 skills and have been invited to apply to their dream graphic design internship. The job pays a salary that would allow students to buy a car, and pay for gas and insurance for an entire year. All they have to do is successfully demonstrate your knowledge and sense of imagination by graphically designing a creature of their choice. Students create a creature only their imagination can inspire using functions learned throughout the year (linear, absolute value, exponential, quadratic) to pass the interview process for their dream graphic design internship at Disney.
MA Standards
AI.A-CED.A.2
Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.*
AI.A-REI.D.10Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line). Show that any point on the graph of an equation in two variables is a solution to the equation.
AI.A-SSE.B.3.aFactor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines.
AI.A-SSE.B.3.cUse the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions. For example, the expression 1.15t can be rewritten as (1.151/12)12t ≈ 1.01212t to reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the annual rate is 15%.
