Unit 4: Desmos drawing and function families
For this project I started out with not much idea of what to do so I started with an Idea of a image that I wanted to make , the Snapchat ghost. I started out by creating half a circle that made up the ghosts head then I continued adding formulas on either side of this half circle that were equal in size but on opposite sides of the y-axis. Since I wasn't sure how to make the right equations I employed the help of Caitlyn and my peers.I used all of the equations given to us for use including linear, quadratic,cubic and circle functions.
By the end of this project i understood how to make an equation move how I wanted it to and I understood how the functions are produced on the graph. Learning this stuff was challenging for me because I am not great at problem solving with math problems but I eventually got to the the point where i understood that if something wasn't going the way I needed it to i could switch certain parts of the function around until it got to where it needed to be. My biggest trouble was figuring out how to limit equations so that they would only show exactly where I wanted it to and I found that by finding the number I wanted to limit on the x and y axis and then if I experimented with what was greater I eventually got what I was looking for.

Geogebra lab 2: The burning tent
1. The angle the camper to the river and the angle from the river to the tent is basically the same angle and distance from each other.
2. The path from these points is the shortest because the quickest way to go between two point is straight so the smallest angle possible would give you the shortest distance.
3. it should be placed in the center because that is the shortest length between two points.

Refelection
One I had the points put together in geogebra in a hexagon construction And had taken out the line leaving only the points I made the snail trails. It is interesting because you grab One point or color and drag it and the rest of the points will reflect what the first one is doing in its own respective part of the construction. When I drag a point right the point closest will mirror what that point is doing and the same thing will happen all the way around the construction. It is very good with rotational symmetry if something happens at one point it will continue to repeat its self.
