Python (Inexperienced)
First of all, if you are doing this, thank you for choosing this. It's really hard to try something you haven't done before. I'll do my best to help you as much as I can with this!
You will create three programs:
Quadratic.py, a program that outputs the coefficients of a polynomial given the x-intercepts.
Exponential.py, a program that outputs terms of an exponential function.
Population.py, a program that determines how long it would take a population to grow or die.
I will provide videos that give you tools to do this!
You will need a place to code. This is called an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Here is a video helping you set one up on your school laptop. If you are using a personal device, you can find Python 3 here or browse the internet for various other IDE's. As long as there is a way for you to save your code, we should be okay.
You can also use online interpreters such as this or this to code, so long as you save your work somewhere else.
Let's get started! We will go in order - I would suggest watching the videos then trying to code the programs. You are free to use the official python documentation which details all of the functions you can use. You can find outside resources as well, as long as you are not directly copying other peoples solutions.
