Origami Project

There is a legend that says: Any person who folds a thousand paper cranes will be granted a wish!
So we will make a thousand origami-s as a group.
Our collected wish is: “This is our cry. This is our prayer. Peace in the world.”
You are to make 6 origami cranes or swans or stars-
On one side you will write your wish (only one personal wish) on the other side you can have a print or a design.

Using TRACE! By: Caroline Dingwall

Using TRACE Feature

1. The TRACE feature is a wonderful tool for understanding the various characteristics of a graph. For illustration purposes we'll use the graph . Enter this equation as Y1 on the Y= screen.

2. Then use the GRAPH key to graph the function. In this case please graph the function on the standard window by hitting ZOOM 6.

3. After pressing ZOOM 6 the graph should appear. To use the trace feature press the TRACE key. A cursor should appear on the graph at the y-intercept (0, -5.625).

4. We can walk the cursor along the curve in either direction by using the arrow right and arrow left keys.

5. Because the location of the cursor is constantly displayed as we move, finding intervals where the function is positive or negative is simply a matter of watching the sign of y. Use this feature to find the x and y intercepts or points of intersection and more!
