Why did you choose this topic? What makes you passionate about it?:
I chose this topic because I was interested in learning how today’s society has had an impact on mental
health of girls in the U.S. I wanted to see if social media and new technology in the society today has caused
an increase in mental health in girls. I know that depression is a type of mental illness that can also lead into
other mental illnesses that are much worse.
The points resemble a ___quadratic_______ function
because:
The line is not straight on the graph and the change
in the points for f(x) is not increasing or decreasing
by the same value. The x value is raised to the
second power.
What transformations did you make to the parent
function?
I divided x by 9 to make the function fatter and I
multiply x by 1 to make the function skinnier. I added
20 to the function to move it up and subtracted 20
from the function to move it down.
