• Step 3: If the original number was less than Step 3: If the original number was less than 1, then the exponent is negative. If the 1, then the exponent is negative. If the original number was greater than 1, then original number was greater than 1, then the exponent is positive.the exponent is positive.

Graphing

• Why do we Graph Data?

• To show the relationship between the graphed variables

• To gain interpolated and extrapolated data

– ‘inter’ – in between the data points

– ‘extra’ – outside the data points

Independent & Dependent Variables

• The Dependent Variable is always assigned to the y-axis

– Relies on the changes in the independent variable.

– The dependent variable is what we measure.

• The independent variable is always assigned to the x-axis

– Does not rely on another variable.
