Practice exam questions 3

Which of the following is a correct way to implement inquiry-based learning? An activity where students generate questions about their local park An activity where students set out to measure the density of trees in their local park An activity where students use pH paper to measure water acidity and then connect their findings to a lesson on acid rain An activity where students read about the effects of acid rain on fish populations

An activity where students generate questions about their local park exp: Inquiry-based learning is based on students asking questions.

Which of the following illustrates a relationship between the geometric concept of a line segment connecting two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and the algebraic concept of a formula?

The length of a line segment between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the distance formula D = √ ((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2). explanation The answer that illustrates a relationship between the geometric concept of a line segment connecting two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and the algebraic concept of a formula is that the length of a line segment between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the distance formula D = √ ((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2). It relates the line segment's length (a geometric concept) to a formula (an algebraic concept).
