Project: Initials

The objective of this project is to develop familiarity with domain and range, with using math technology and with the math of the formulas used to generate and anlalyse linear functions.

This task has three parts:

Part 1: Draw your initials using line segments on a GeoGebra graph or on axes drawn on graphing paper.

Part 2: Analysis. Determine if each letter is a function or a relation. State the domain and range for each letter. Calculate the linear function for each line segment.

Part 3: Verification: Plot each line segment on GeoGebra to verify and/or correct you calculations.
