Identify and describe an environmental issue and a proposed way to reduce impact and improve outcomes.

In this activity you will explore connections between the concepts learned in this course and environmental issues. Specifically, you will create a mathematical model and visual representations to provide evidence to convince investors that a way to improve an environmental issue of your choice would be a worthy project in which to invest.

Overview

You have decided that you are going to make a pitch to the hosts of a reality TV show where entrepreneurs request funding for projects, or products, designed to reduce the damage to the environment caused by human activity.

Your pitch must combine a compelling reason why your initiative should be supported, with evidence that justifies the need for action.

You will research and collect secondary data, use the data to create graphical and algebraic models, make predictions based on your algebraic model and create a visual presentation using the media/ platform of your choice .

The function used to create your algebraic model must be one of the types of functions (polynomial of degree 3 or higher, exponential, logarithmic or trigonometric) covered in this course.

Step 1:Identify and describe an environmental issue and a proposed way to reduce impact and improve outcomes.

 

Step 2:Research secondary data from a reliable source and create a mathematical model to predict outcomes if no action to reduce harmful effects is taken.
