Mara Vans ke Math 1210 Signature Assignment: Curve Analysis In this assignment you will do a complete analysis of the function f(x) = x — 3x'/3 Follow the basic guidelines below, including all mathematical steps. Include a scanned image of your final hand drawn graph of the function. You must include narrative text explaining your process and conclusions to your reader. Guidelines for sketching a curve y = (x) by hand: 1. Determine the domain of f Find any intercepts of , if possible. Test for symmetry or periodicity. Find any asymptotes off by evaluating the appropriate limits. Determine the intervals of increase and decrease. Locate extreme points. Determine intervals of concavity. Locate inflection points. Sketch the curve. BeN To check your hand drawn graph of f(x) = x — 3x"/3, graph the function using computer software, Include your computer generated graph in your report and discuss the differences between your hand drawn graph and the computer generated graph, Note that the computer- generated graph is not providing your answers, but supporting the mathematical steps and calculations, you made before using technology to graph the function. Merely pointing to the graph to explain any of your answers above is not an acceptable method of demonstrating understanding, ‘Write a paragraph reflecting on the general curve analysis process. What problems did you encounter in completing the assignment? How did you troubleshoot them, if you did? What new skills or insights did completing the assignment give you? Give at least one “real world” application in which curve analysis would be useful. Your example should include the meaning or purpose of the analysis and an explanation of why it may be important in a real application. Cite any sources used Expectations: All signature assignments must be completely word processed, including using an equation editor for all mathematics. Hand-written work will not be graded. All mathematical steps must be shown and there must be narrative in place to explain your process to your reader. Any charts or graphs will also be computer generated. Your problem will be presented in a clear and logical way. A signature assignment should be an exposition of your finest work and presentation.There are writing labs on campus for general writing help. For help using the equation editor in Microsoft Word go to https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=Cir8RXGTEg8 A copy of this assignment will be placed in your SLCC general education e-Portfolio. Math 1210 is a Quantitative Literacy (QL) general education course. See your syllabus for more information regarding e-Portfolios.
