Our functions was y=2^x. We made a table of values for when x= -10 all the way to +10. Then we graphed it to see how the numbers related. We found that the y values doubled when x was greater than or equal to 0, since the base was 2. When x<0, the y valued started to halve. The group that…

Irrational Number – e
I researched the irrational number e, which the first few digits are 2.7182818284590452353602874713527, but is known to have over 1 trillion digits of accuracy. It is also known as Euler’s number, which is where the symbol e is from, after Leonhard Euler. He used e as the base for natural logarithms in 1731. However, it was first discovered by a…
Bubblegum Lab
Gum A was Hubba Bubba. I found this gum was a lot thicker, and less smooth. This allowed it to hold a bubble easier, but it wasn’t very stretchy, so it didn’t blow very big bubbles. Gum B was Big League Chew. I found this gum was smoother and very thin, making it easier to blow a big bubble…

1. Explain your process. We started by splitting the pasta in half so that it wouldn’t be as big of a structure, and searched up a picture of a soccer ball for reference. It has pentagons with hexagons surrounding them, so we started with building them in a net. When we tried to hold them up to form the…
