Portfolio Option 1: Sports Graph

This portfolio problem will have you write. You will turn in a “mathematical paper” of about 1 page of writing. You can use this handout to write rough draft ideas first.

Brainstorm: Which of the above sports do you think the graph could represent? Why?

Brainstorm: What vocabulary and properties of graphs and functions do you see represented in the graph? How did any of those affect your choice for the sport?

Use your brainstorms above to write a 1 page paper that talks about this graph, what sport you believe it could represent, and what properties of functions and graphs support your answer. You can add diagrams as well.
