Interdisciplinary Lesson Plan (Algebra 1 and Biology)
Area = length x width The rate of change is the slope. Slope = change in y / change in x To graph an equation on the calculator, press the y= button on the top left. The slope is 10 inches per second. So, the equation is y=10x
To graph the rate of change, after entering y=10x, press the graph button
Then press the graph button on the top left corner. This is what will be displayed.
Question How much surface area is covered after 4 seconds? Let’s make a table: Time (seconds) Area covered 010 in 2 19 in 2 28 in 2 37 in 2 46 in 2 Add all the numbers in the table: = 40 Answer: There will be 40 square inches covered after 4 seconds.
