Graph With A Sharp Pencil:
( Print this page to work & attach your graph. )
Make a copy of your Planetarium Graph on 11 by 17 inch paper. You may need to darken the copy to bring up the blue graph gid lines.
Use a function representation of the Close SLSC hyperbola: Calculate points to plot then plot and label each point of the close SLSC hyperbola on right side of the y-axis on the 11 by 17 inch graph copy. Put the label inside the building. By changing the x coordinate from positive to negative, plot the corresponding point on the left side of the y-axis.
Where do you find the largest difference between the hyperbola graphs?
Find a way to measure the difference between them and detail your method and your results here or attach additional pages.
