How did you figure out which equations to use?

I found that the function dance moves in the one note were very helpful as they showed me what the function would look like. I could then visualize what i wanted to make using these functions, after that it was just plugging numbers into the equations until I found the right set of numbers.

Did you face any challenges?

It could take awhile to find the right numbers to put in the equation. Sometimes I would put in numbers that I was sure would make the function the proper length or width but then they didn’t work. So this could be frustrating but i eventually got through this with patience and multiple tries.

Did you get help?

I didn’t get any help, I wanted to do this by myself as I felt this was a good way to practice my functions.

Did you use any strategies?

I started with the easier relations and functions, for example the circle i used as a head was a relation and i just had to put in numbers, i didn’t have to add a range or domain. I also worked on the body as it was just going to be linear relations which are pretty easy to use. Then once i finished all the easier stuff that i knew how to do i moved on to the more challenging functions.

What did this assignment help you understand about functions, relations, and their graphs?

I think this assignment was really helpful as it was a great way of showing me that each function will look different. It was just nice to have a visual representation of this, it was also cool to experiment on desmos.com.
