I. CER (Claim-Evidence-Reason)

A company manufactures wristwatches and the profit, P, (in hundred thousand pesos)
can be modeled by P ( x ) =−2 x 3 +6 x 2 +8 x , where x represents the number of
wristwatches produced (in hundreds). When is the profit, P, equal to zero?

CLAIM: (The answer to the problem)

EVIDENCE: (The solution to the problem)

REASON: (Explanation to support the answer)

II. WORD PROBLEM

PROBLEM. The volume of a rectangular prism is modeled by the function

maximum number of
turning points?

3) What is the y- 0,2

intercept?

4) What are the x- 2,0

intercepts?

5) What is the
possible factored form

function? IV. ERROR CORRECTION

Problem: The end behavior of the graph of P ( x ) =−x 2(3−x )(2−x)2 is

As x →+∞ , P ( x ) →−∞
As x →−∞, P ( x ) →+ ∞
Identified error Correction of the error
and explanation (What is the correct
(What is the error?) answer?)
As x →−∞ , P ( x ) →+ ∞ As x →+∞ , P ( x ) →+ ∞
Explanation of correction.
(How did you arrive at the correct
answer? What was your basis?)
I used the end behavior as a basis
to arrive at the correct answer

Problem: The graph of P ( x ) =−x 2(3−x )(2−x)2 will cross the x-axis at 0 and 3 and
touches the x-axis at 2.
Identified error Correction of the error Explanation of correction.
and explanation (What is the correct (How did you arrive at the correct
(What is the error?) answer?) answer? What was your basis?)
will cross the x-axis at 3 I used the graph and looked at
will cross the x-axis and touches the x-axis where it touches or crosses as basis
at 0 and 3 and at 0 and 2. to arrive the correct answer.
touches the x-axis
at 2.
