Week of March 28 - April 2


We are really getting to understand what exponential decay is this week. We will calculate how much soup someone would get if they took half of the pot, the next person took half of what was left, the next took half of that and so on? Would there be zero soup? We mastered writing an exponential equation to show the relationship between the person number and how many ounces of soup they would get. (s=21.5 times.5to the nth power)WOW! Don't we sound smart...
Later in the week we will be talking about compounded interest...Feel free to talk about how much interest is payed on a credit card or your mortgage!
No homework Monday and Thursday
Homework on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.
There are A LOT of unorganized binders out there...GET THEM IN ORDER!
