I have solutions if needed.


Linear and Quadratic Regression Assignment
Filename: mb_qf002.doc (266 Kb)
Date: 7-Jun-98
Submitted By: Rex Boggs
Format: MS Word Document
Description: Students choose a problem involving bi-variate data, gather the data, and test both a linear and a quadratic model against the data.

Animal Structures
Filename: mb_qf001.DOC (1129 Kb)
Date: 5-Jun-98
Submitted By: Paula Day
Format: MS Word Document
Description: Students investigate the relationship between quadratic functions and cubic functions in the living and non-living structures in our three-dimensional world by examining the relationship between surface
area and volume. In particular they examin how a change in the linear
dimensions of a structure can produce markedly different degrees of
change in the surface area and volume of the object.


Roots of Cubic Equations
Filename: mb_if007.doc (16 Kb)
Date: 4-Jun-98
Submitted By: Ken Williams
Format: MS Word Document
