After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. You notice the rainbow is the shape of a parabola.

The equation for this parabola is y = -x2 + 36.

Graph of a parabola opening down at the vertex 0 comma 36 crossing the x–axis at negative 6 comma 0 and 6 comma 0.

In the distance, an airplane is taking off. As it ascends during take-off, it makes a slanted line that cuts through the rainbow at two points. Create a table of at least four values for the function that includes two points of intersection between the airplane and the rainbow.

Analyze the two functions. Answer the following reflection questions in complete sentences.

What is the domain and range of the rainbow? Explain what the domain and range represent. Do all of the values make sense in this situation? Why or why not?
What are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? Explain what each intercept represents.
Is the linear function you created with your table positive or negative? Explain.
What are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created? Explain what it or they represent.
Create your own piecewise function with at least two functions. Explain, using complete sentences, the steps for graphing the function. Graph the function by hand or using a graphing software of your choice (remember to submit the graph).

Identify an equation in point slope form for the line perpendicular to y=3x+5 that passes through (4,-1)

Study published in the journal of personality and individual differences found that adults with adhd displayed more creative achievement than those who didn't have the disorder. "for the same reason that adhd might create problems, like distraction, it can also allow an openness to new ideas," says holly white, assistant professor of cognitive psychology. "not being completely focused on a task lets the mind make associations that might not have happened otherwise." white and priti shah at the university of michigan gave 60 college students – half of them with adhd – a series of tests measuring creativity across 10 domains. the adhd group scored higher across the board. the adhd group showed more of a preference for brainstorming and generating ideas than the non-adhd group, which preferred refining and clarifying ideas. the adhd status of the participants was established by asking whether the individual had ever been clinically diagnosed with adhd/add. the tests of creativity were pencil-and-paper tasks administered in a laboratory setting. each of the ten scales was comprised of multiple questions, the scores on which were summed (e.g., writing creativity: "how many words can you make from the letters in the word 'psychology' invention creativity: "write down as many uses for a paper clip that you can think of.") this procedure does allow for a participant to be scored as showing no creativity under these conditions. a) state the research question in plain language (i wonder if is related to (1 point) b) state the null hypothesis (1 point) c) state the research hypothesis (1 point) d) is the research hypothesis directional or non-directional (1 point) e) name the predictor / independent variable f) give the operational definition of the predictor / independent variable g) evaluate the construct validity of the predictor / independent variable. (face, procedure, method-match) h) name the outcome / dependent variable i) give the operational definition of the outcome / dependent variable. j) evaluate the construct validity of the outcome / dependent variable.
