What happened in this experiment was we watched a video of a basketball being shot toward the basketball hoop. Then we to the images of the ball at several points through the air. We then took that image a put in geogebra to set up a graph to see if the ball would make it or not. From what the image shows, the ball will end up hitting the back of the rim and will result in a missed shot.
For this activity, we found the inverse of y=x^2. We did this by factoring the function, from which we got the function +or-The square root of x. So we plugged that function into desmos and it gave us the function graphed. We then set up a the dashed line of y=x. And folded the sheet along that dotted line and found that the two functions matched up. Making sure they were the inverses of each other. i feel that this trick will aid me in finding the inverses of functions.
