Polynomials and Art
Our project consisted of finding a picture that had curved lines in it. We then drew the lines from the picture onto a transparency graph. From there we turned the lines into parabolas by adding x and y axis along with points. Then using the zeros of each parabola we created factored form equations. We had then we had to convert the equations into expanded form and find the scalar for the equations and make sure that both forms matched up.
During this project I learned how to solve problems while trying to stay calm about it. The hardest part was getting the factored and expanded forms of the equations to match when they were graphed. If I could do something differently, I would've chosen a different picture and tried to be more patient with my project.

Linear Programming Project
I'm really proud of this project because I enjoyed doing it and put time and effort into it. I learned a lot about the correlation between real life and the math we use. I thought it was more interesting because I want to major in business and a lot of this project was about business. I also learned that I enjoy solving problems that have more of a story to them, than straight forward equations.
