OH YEAH!" that's great and all but when you stop to think about it, math was really fun. I really had fun in that class, I can honestly say that it's the best class I've had ever. Math was actually fun because I had my friends and everyone else there was friendly and helpful. We worked as a class and everyone got along well. We fought in class but that was all based on math, that's how we learned. It's sweet that we don't have to worry about math now, however it's bitter because everyone made math bearable! It was like fun and math put together, didn't think that there was such a thing. Well, I'm going to miss this class the most. Good luck with you all!</span><br /></div><br />-SAMUS<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-8436563782576027400?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SAMUShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00765502734004344768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-11264926696063927742008-01-24T15:44:00.000-06:002008-01-24T16:33:53.704-06:00The exam is over and we did a little survey in class.

I am excited by what I see and hear! I never cease to be amazed by the quality and sophistication of your scribes; you constantly achieve new heights in illustrating and annotating your scribes. More than that I am so impressed when you celebrate each others’ learning, when you are creative, and when you critically reflect upon your learning in your BOBs.<br /><br />Did you know Mr. K’s blog is my second window? I admire and respect what I see and hear here too! Did you know that Mr. K celebrates your learning on his blog? that he reflects upon what best helped you to learn and why? that he unselfishly shares all he knows with those who read his blog? that he learns from the conversations on his blog? that he writes with passion and is creative? and that he commits many random acts of kindness by honoring other teachers’ accomplishments in his posts? Did you know all he expects of you, he shares those same expectations for himself?<br /><br />Did you know that because of all that and more, Mr. K.’s blog has been nominated for “Best Education Blog” on the <a href="http://cdnba.wordpress.com/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Canadian Blog Awards 2007 website</span></span></a>?<br /><br />I just happen to

it is time again for us to BOB. This unit " probability" wasn't as tough as it was for me in past years of precal. However there were some new concepts and ways to solve questions that provided me with some difficulty. My muddiest point would be not knowing when to use the "Choose" and when to use the tree diagram. Somewhere along those lines I get a bit upset. Hopefully today I'll be able to do well on the test.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-782032077610220530?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Meeeelarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10459105016671688982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-24257896904054597942008-01-16T09:07:00.000-06:002008-01-16T09:21:34.985-06:00VERY late Bob post and there is a perfectly good reason for this...which i have no business typing out here. Anyways on to the BOB!<br /><br />The unit was quick. Just as we were learning the stuff and you think you got it all what should happen? He pulls combinatorics out of nowhere! COMBINATORICS! I seen that and was saying to my self "What in the H - E Double Hockeysticks was going on"<br /><br />I guess the thing that gave me the most trouble was the the type of questions where we were given one of the probabilites then told to find what was the chance it was from the previous event. Like yesterdays pretest...we were told that john was late for class (or was it on time?) then asked to find what were the chances he brought his lunch. Those kind of questions were giving me quite a bit of trouble.<br /><br />For a day or so i didn't understand the mutually exculsive idea, but it was soon resolved. I hope that i can just remember for the upcoming test.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-2425789690405459794?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Saromo, Paulohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13242006312492912562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-38184164595741467802008-01-16T01:46:00.000-06:002008-01-16T01:52:08.960-06:00heyyah! this been a combination of hard stuff and fun stuff.

At the beginning, I had a good understanding of what probability was and was able to answer these problem solving questions. But, as we got further into the unit, the questions began to get harder. Sometime while we were learning mutually exclusive and not mutually exclusive I got confused, but we cleared it up the next day. My muddiest point would have to be when these probability questions began to have combinatorics in it =S Overall, this unit was okay .. I don't like probability as much as I liked it in the beginning heh. Goodluck to everyone.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-6069428235293245171?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>10075660http://www.blogger.com/profile/13711791512784031048noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-77327866865644303362008-01-15T23:28:00.000-06:002008-01-16T02:00:19.270-06:00I think probability is a difficult unit.

The beginning part till the independant and dependant things were easy to understand. but I think when we start doing the workshop, things got a little harder. I found most of the question hard to understand for some reason and answering the questions is pretty confusing since there were so many ways to get different answer making you think if what your doing is right or wrong. Anyways, this unit was okay I guess as long as i can understand and figure out what the right thing to do is, I guess I will be okay. Sigh* I guess that's all I have to say now since i have lots of things to do still.. good luck guys!!

This unit was incredibly boring, as well as confusing. I didn't enjoy one bit of it, especially how it requires you to think outside the box, definitely not my thing. Probability sucked big time for me. Although, at one point I was becoming a professional at drawing tree diagrams. I think what threw me off the most was that we began the unit BEFORE winter break, definitely a bad idea. I am probably going to fail miserably on the test. Good luck to everybody!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-3984910776285434006?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>GOAThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05448400381487833930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-4956174073521063532008-01-15T22:35:00.000-06:002008-01-15T22:54:50.378-06:00<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">This unit went by pretty quick. I didn't like any of it. What I found the easiest were those question where all you have to do is draw a tree diagram then your answers are on there. For all questions you can draw tree diagrams, however theres ones where it takes a long time and there are many branches. The questions that i really didn't like were those ones where they're not mutually exclusive and the ones with the word OR in them because now we have to pull out the choose stuff and consider other things, etc. Overall, i did not enjoy this unit one bit and this will be one of the hardest tests for me.

When we started to talk about mutually exclusive things, I was kinda lost at first, but after a while I got it and it was all good. =) When we got into the choose formulas, that was when I started to get confused. I sometimes don't know what numbers to use. I had a lot of trouble in finding what the denominator should be. Some parts of the numerator I was able to figure out. Sometimes I wouldn't know whether to add or subtract the probabilities when it didn't have an 'and' or an 'or'. Over all, I don't think this unit was too bad. It was... so, so.

Some of the questions you find that you've got to think deeper even though it seems like a pretty straight forward answer. It's quite tricky. Over all I found this unit understandable for the most part. It's just those little things you have to watch out for when faced with a probability question. Also, another reminder, probability does involve having to use some of your combinatoric unit. That's all, I hope everyone enjoys the test tomorrow ~.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-7144205269630116867?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>oliver_796http://www.blogger.com/profile/05856731575280461678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-60530913619955623752008-01-15T21:02:00.000-06:002008-01-15T21:10:14.977-06:00as usual ... mr. k starts the unit with something simple and something i actually understand and then BAM ... i have no idea what is going on. LOL. what i really needed for this unit was a lot of practice and i mean LOTS of practice. erhm. the end was really complicated for me. especially the pretest today; like question number three; i was completely stumped when mr. k explained the solution. i wished that we would've done this unit right after combinatorics because when we started mixing combinatorics with probability i almost forgot what combinatorics was. haha *sigh* anyways. i wish everyone good luck tomorrow!! =)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-6053091361995562375?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>10107063http://www.blogger.com/profile/18010590995413054687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-70202127232721500312008-01-15T20:28:00.000-06:002008-01-15T20:40:59.870-06:00This is Alanna's BOB for the unit on probability.<br /><br />This is unit is understandable. I had expected it to be quite challenging, with experiences from the past. I have always had trouble with this unit. I do know the stuff. But getting started is what I have the most trouble with. Once I get started I know what I'm doing. At first I understood it very clear. I was positive on what I was doing...but I don't mean to sound rude but Mr. K you tend to explain too much that it gets over my head.. I start to overthink then BAM I can't grasp it anymore. Sometimes I'm able to get back on track. Another problem I have is trying to figure out what the question is asking.<br />I detest this unit.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-7020212723272150031?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>alannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10983051744700793178noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-3329933524412117802008-01-15T19:56:00.001-06:002008-01-16T08:24:44.250-06:00If I wasn't hallucinating, Mr. K said this would be an easy unit? Maybe I'm just mixing things up now though. Well, anyway, this unit was not easy at all. It's quite confusing besides the ones where you gotta draw that tree, that makes it a lot easier. I didn't like the questions on the pre-test at all though, didn't seem like anything we've ever done, except the last one involving "Jeff" who later on became "John". I think figuring out what to look for, what to use, and what to find, is pretty bad itself. I don't think I'm gonna do too great on this test.... not that I have on many.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-332993352441211780?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>- - !!

But i find it somewhat difficult at times what the question is trying to say, since we did a lot more question like those since then i will try and review those types and see if i can get a better understanding of what the question is asking for.<br /><br />i guess i don't have much too add on to that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">soo</span> good luck on the test everyone<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-7107643807366173691?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JoeShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03079805457989651126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-38265976578405508792008-01-15T19:39:00.000-06:002008-01-15T19:46:24.364-06:00Okay c'mon you can't do that. In the beginning of the unit I was all high and mighty cause I thought I actually finally fully understood a unit, but what did Monsieur K do? He flipped EVERYTHING upside down, and now I'm scavenging for answers in my exercise book, and looking at the blog 50 times per second. Oh well i should've expected something like that to happen.

I think that the unit was overall okay, but not that great. At first I thought it was pretty easy and straight forward, but as we progressed towards the end of the unit it got a little more complicated. I think the thing that kind of throws me off is the choosing and distinguishable outcomes stuff. When I do questions I don't really know how to set it up in that way and my answers come out totally wrong, but when it is explained I understand how to do it properly. So hopefully I'll be okay on the test. Well good luck guys (:<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-683864071339856432?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kimberleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11990401653328342552noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-65559169909315583062008-01-15T19:20:00.000-06:002008-01-15T19:31:08.108-06:00<span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">hey its King Leonidas. j/k its ant. anyways probability, the unit was enjoyable excluding the pre test this morning. i thought i had the lunch question nailed, turns out i got it wrong along with the 10 dollar bill question and the lottery question. i hope the test is not like that, for some reason i presumed those questions was like the air conditioning SUV problem from the day befor. when i tried to approach it the same way i failed horribly. but i must be off physics awaits.</span> <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">" No prisoners!

Anyways, this is one of the hardest units ever. In the beginning i thought that this unit was pretty grabby. I pretty much understood some concepts too. But not until Mr. K had given us some problems that uses the choose formula, non-distinguishable permutations etc. I said to myself this unit was really hard! They were very confusing. The unit test earlier helped me a little bit and i hope that was enough to ace the test tomorrow.

Don't you hate how units seem alright at first then completely blow you out of the water? Well that's how this unit was although it was not as devastating as some others.<br />The problems we've encountered these past few days have been tricky because they've included things that we've learned in previous units like counting. Anywho, I think i've pretty much grasped the fundamentals of the unit, I just have to beware of these tricky questions when for example, it uses the choose formula. I also have to watch out when I draw those tree diagrams, sometimes I just read the wrong branch.<br />Good luck on the test everyone.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-2565067549817745841?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>linahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13569161868592682001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-62235544783199776292008-01-15T18:00:00.001-06:002008-01-15T18:10:35.958-06:00I must say that this unit is the hardest unit ever.

When we first started the unit, it was pretty simple and easy to understand. I liked using the tree diagrams to solve problems and then applying equations that made questions easier to answer. What I had a hard time in this unit was applying the Counting Principles and Binomial Theorem to probability problems. For me it was difficult to figure out where to start the problems concerning those types of questions. I can do questions like 'getting exactly 3 out of 6' or something like that, but the other ones were more confusing.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

probability on the provincial exam. We weren't sure if we should answer it as a percentage, decimal, or fraction if the question does not specify what we should leave our answer to. We agreed that we should leave our answer as a fraction because it gives the exact answer rather an approximate answer. Decimals give approximate answers to the nearest ten thousandths and percent answers give answers to the nearest tenths.<br />Next scribe is<span style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"> <span style="font-size:180%;">SharmaineD</span></span><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-6313004917971362886?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>GOAThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05448400381487833930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-87689357345592685422008-01-11T15:44:00.000-06:002008-01-11T15:49:39.073-06:00Here they are ...<br /><br /><center><br /><div style="width:425px;text-align:left" id="__ss_225108"><object style="margin:0px" width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=precal-40s-slides-january-11-2008-1200083200180277-4"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=precal-40s-slides-january-11-2008-1200083200180277-4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><div style="font-size:11px;font-family:tahoma,arial;height:26px;padding-top:2px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/?src=embed"><img src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/logo_embd.png" style="border:0px none;margin-bottom:-5px" alt="SlideShare"/></a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/dkuropatwa/precal-40s-slides-january-11-2008" title="View 'Pre-Cal 40S Slides January 11, 2008' on SlideShare">View</a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/upload">Upload your own</a></div></div><br /></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-8768935734559268542?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dkuropatwahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08462283847470560887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-21279801670097799262008-01-10T23:09:00.000-06:002008-01-10T23:14:54.542-06:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">Here's todays scribe post.

Sorry for the late post. Anyways here’s what we did in the last day of school before our winter break.<br />Our morning class start off with the story of Chicken Little. Here’s a link of the original story of <a href="http://petcaretips.net/chicken-little.html">Chicken Little</a>.<br />Anyways after Chicken Little’s story Mr. K asked us this question:<br /><br /><em>What is the probability that the sky will fall?</em><br /><br />He asked us to keep our answers to ourselves, meaning no talking o the people beside, behind or in front of us. Then after a few minutes he asked each of us our answers. Here are the answers given by us:<br /><br /><span style="color:#c0c0c0;"><span style="color:#660000;">5/6<br />1/∞<br />0/1<br />0/0<br />1/10^100<br />0/0.5<br />1/6<br />1/0<br />1/1000000<br />1/12<br />15/100 </span><br /></span><br /><br />And as you can see, some of us answered 0/0 and 1/0. Actually I was one of those people who said it for some unexplainable reason. But then he showed us this link explaining why these can’t be the answer to his question(<a href="http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/58500.html">Dr. Math</a>). It explained why cant 0 be the denominator because 0 represents to the number of things could happen and if we have 0, this means there is 0 number of thing that could happen. Mr K told that to us by freezing because if there 0 number of thing that can only happen then we can’t move. For further explanations for this topic about 0/0 and 1/0 being wrong please go to the posted link. Thank you.<br /><br />Anyways the correct answer 0/some big number.<br /><br />Then Mr. K told us these vocabularies:<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#990000;">Probability:</span></strong> the branch of mathematics that deals with chance.<br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Sample Space (Ω):</strong></span> the set of all possible outcomes for a given<br />"Experiment" represented by<u> capital omega <strong>Ω</strong></u>.<br /><span style="color:#990000;"><strong>Event (E):</strong></span> A subset of the sample space. A particular occurance in a given<br />experiment.<br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Simple Event:</strong></span> The result of an experiment that is carried out in a single<br />step.<br /><em>Example:</em> Flip a coin. The result is heads<br />(a simple event)<br /><span style="color:#990000;"><strong>Compound Event:</strong></span> The result of an experiment carried out in two (or<br />more) steps.<br /><em>Example:</em> 1. Flip a coin and roll a die - 6 .The result is {H,6}<br /><em>Example 2:</em> Flip a coin twice. The result is {H,T}<br /><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Certain Event:</span></strong> an event whose probability is 1<br /><em>Example:</em> roll a die - 6 and get a result less than 10<br /><span style="color:#990000;"><strong>Impossible Event:</strong></span> an event whose probability is 0.<br /><em>Example:</em> roll a die - 6 and get a 7<br /><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong>Complimentary Event:</strong></span> the compliment of E is E':<br />If P(E) = a then P(E') = 1-a<br /><em>Example:</em> Given a standard deck of cards, a card is drawn at random.<br />P(spade) = (13/52) = (1/4)<br />P (not a spade) = 1 - (1/4) = (3/4)<br /><br />Probability can be expressed as:<br /><em>- A ratio<br />- A fraction<br />- A decimal<br />- A percent</em><br /><br />And this formula helps expressing probability.<br /><br /><a href="http://s33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/MrsPerfectionist/?action=view&amp;current=probformula.png" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 216px; HEIGHT: 48px" height="360" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/MrsPerfectionist/probformula.png" width="659" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#33cc00;">Important Note: PROBABILITY OF AN EVENT IS ALWAYS BETWEEN 0 AND 1</span><br /></strong><br />Now we know the basics of probability, it’s time for examples. Here are the examples Mr. K gave us.<br /><br />~~Determine the sample space when a fair die is rolled.<br /><br />Answer:<span style="color:#00cccc;"> 1, 2, 3,4,5,6</span> are the possible outcome when we roll a die. These numbers are the sample space.<span style="color:#00cccc;"> Sample space</span> is the list of all the possible outcome of an event.<br /><br />~~Determine the sample space for rolling die and flipping a coin.<br /><br />Answer:<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nAdlqBvzCbc/R29bg0espBI/AAAAAAAAACs/dLfTz9wzL4c/s1600-h/ht+die1.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147433518509106194" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nAdlqBvzCbc/R29bg0espBI/AAAAAAAAACs/dLfTz9wzL4c/s320/ht+die1.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br />H1...H6 and T1...T6 are the sample space because these are the possible outcome for this event.<br /><br />**notice the similarity to counting. A <u>table</u> or a <u>tree diagram</u> can help determine the sample space.<br /><br />~~Determine the probability of rolling a 2 when rolling a fair die.<br /><br />Answer: <span style="color:#6666cc;">1/6</span><br /><br />It is because in a fair die you only have one 2 so out of the six numbers in the die, the possibility we will get 2 is one. So 1 is our numerator and 6 is the denominator because overall these are all the number that we could get including 2.<br /><br />~~Determine the probability of getting a head and an odd number when rolling a die and flipping a coin.<br /><br />Using the chart we made earlier we can determine answer<br /><br /><a href="http://s33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/MrsPerfectionist/?action=view&amp;current=htdie2.png" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 312px; HEIGHT: 51px" height="124" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/MrsPerfectionist/htdie2.png" width="642" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The probability is<span style="color:#ff6600;"> 3/12 or ¼.</span><span style="color:#ff9900;"><br /></span>It is because out of the 12 possible answer (h1-h6,t1-t6) the one with head and is an odd number are h1, h3, and h5. So these 3 numbers are our answers out of the 12 possible answers.<br /><br />Those are the semi easy questions now here comes a next level type.<br /><br />~~~~A bus is scheduled to arrive at a train station at any time between 07:05 and<br />07:15 inclusive. A train is scheduled to arrive between 07:11 and 07:17 inclusive. The arrival of a bus at 7:06 and a train at 07:14 can be represented by the ordered pair (6, 14). Times are expressed in whole minutes.<br /><br />a) Sketch a sample space for this event (use a chart).<br />b) How many ordered pairs are there in this sample space?<br />c) How many ordered pairs have the bus and the train arriving at the same time?<br />d) How many ordered pairs have the train arriving after the bus?<br />e) What is the probability of the bus arriving after the train?<br /><br />Bus time are 5...15 (horizontal)<br />Train time are 11...17 (vertical)<br /><br /><a href="http://s33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/MrsPerfectionist/?action=view&amp;current=trainandbusprob.png" target="_blank"><img style="WIDTH: 435px; HEIGHT: 72px" height="185" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d62/MrsPerfectionist/trainandbusprob.png" width="607" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Answer<br /><br />B) <strong>77</strong><br />C) <span style="color:#ff6666;">5 ordered pairs</span> have the same number. In other words the bus and train arriving time is the same.<br />D) <strong><span style="color:#ffcc66;">62</span></strong> ordered pairs have the first number less than the second. In other words the bus arrives first than the train.<br />E) <span style="color:#cc66cc;">10/77</span> is the probability that the train arrive first before the train.<br /><br /><br />Sigh* I’m finally over. Well I think I covered everything about probability. After our probability lesson in our afternoon class Mr K told us about TED. It’s like a conference for brilliant and I would say wealthy people. And it’s interesting especially the math magician person I forgot how he called himself but he was awesome. He can calculate things faster than a calculator I guess. He was so good. He’s awesome I could say. Anyways that’s all I have to say. Sorry for the late post, I tried using the smartboard thing but it made my computer froze and run slower so I decided to use this method. Uhmm if I missed anything just message me or something so I can fix it. Sigh* finally I’m done, the next scribe will be <span style="color:#663333;">MICHELLEs</span>.<br /><br />Have a safe and fun winter break guys and Merry Christmas!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-3372450039686668584?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Remyshirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16901285341808096687noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-29077956743485974112007-12-21T16:25:00.000-06:002007-12-21T16:30:29.910-06:00Here they are ...<br /><br /><center><br /><div style="width:425px;text-align:left" id="__ss_210050"><object style="margin:0px" width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=precal-40s-slides-december-21-2007-1198275867350294-2"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=precal-40s-slides-december-21-2007-1198275867350294-2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><div style="font-size:11px;font-family:tahoma,arial;height:26px;padding-top:2px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/?src=embed"><img src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/logo_embd.png" style="border:0px none;margin-bottom:-5px" alt="SlideShare"/></a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/dkuropatwa/precal-40s-slides-december-21-2007" title="View 'Pre-Cal 40S Slides December 21, 2007' on SlideShare">View</a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/upload">Upload your own</a></div></div><br /></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-2907795674348597411?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dkuropatwahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08462283847470560887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-52795493979627734062007-12-20T09:25:00.000-06:002007-12-20T09:28:20.476-06:00Ah okay, this is some last minute blogging before the test.

I really don't know what to say, but I think the pre-test was definately a Moment of Clarity when Mr. K showed us how to do question 2 and 5. I think I'll remember those for quite a while now. I hope I don't completely flunk the test tomorrow.

I would also say that these unit have a lot of terms that cant I cant easily understand. Well anyways, Overall I found this unit hard for some reason. sigh* now i need to go back do my homeworks and study and hopefully past the test tommorow.

For me, its all about reading into the equation. Though the paper folding was time consuming i found it fun because it illustrated this unit a lot.

I thought this unit wasn't as hard as the previous ones. I had trouble finding the asymptotes for the hyperbolas and the '<span style="font-style: italic;">4p</span><span style="font-style: italic;"></span>' part in the equation of a parabola. But now I'm getting the hang of it. The rest of the things weren't that hard. The paper folding... I had some trouble with that. My dot's where slightly off and my numbers weren't what they were suppose to be, but it was close. That's pretty much it for this unit... Happy studying! =D</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-7535002780033926111?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jasminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03202115012690326321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-82823154020624145962007-12-19T21:03:00.000-06:002007-12-19T21:41:07.521-06:00Hello everyone! It`s time for blogging again. I must stay that this unit is the easiest of `em all. I guess I understand the terms and properties of each `shapes`. The hard part would probably be the problem solving. Anyways, that`s all I have to say. Good Luck to everyone!

It created a clearer perspective for me and I was able to see the patterns and connections almost right away. The only problem I've had was with the equations. I wasn't able to remember what the numbers represented. But I think I'll be able to figure it out after I do some questions for practice.<br /><br />Hope everyone is ready for this test!<br />Good luck, and happy studying!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-1764060695201560492?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mary Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04859803744380122238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-89654643202905435692007-12-19T20:52:00.000-06:002007-12-19T21:34:21.540-06:00Okay fine I admit it, this unit was pretty simple, but when I face my mark for this test a month from now, I will beat myself for saying that, I'm going to do bad on this test. Aside from my premonition I liked folding, twas fun. I used to have problems with where 'A' goes on which side, or under which variable, same with 'B'. Converting to Standard Form, and General Form is pretty simple.

I found that this unit was ridiculously hard and immensley tedious. Anything that deals with shapes is beyond boring for me. My muddiest points were dealing with ellipses as well as comprehending the math terms for the whole unit. What I liked best about this unit were the simple mathematical calculations involved, such as the pythagorean theorem. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Good luck to everybody tomorrow!

This unit was also really short, or so it seemed. Anyways on to the real BoB.<br /><br />So we learned about three shapes, four if you count the circle, but I honestly don't remember anything about it other than one or two things. How for the rest of the shapes... Parabola, Ellipse, and Hyperbola. These all had a lot of little things we needed to know to get through a problem. Sort of like a puzzle...<br /><br />I <span style="font-style: italic;">KNOW</span> that I am going to forget one or two of them and there goes my marks. Whether it be with the algebra or with the graph, its going to happen. These little things are going to destroy me...I know it.<br /><br />Reviewing a bit I think that I I'm having more trouble with reading the graphs. Just having trouble remembering the...well everything. So thats about it i guess.<br /><br />Well I should get back to studying, as should all of you. Good luck with the test.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-7875422956000115413?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Saromo, Paulohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13242006312492912562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-29454916393220919352007-12-19T19:48:00.000-06:002007-12-19T21:02:23.104-06:00Here we are again all too soon. Too, too soon.<br />Conics wasn't the worse unit I suppose, but I still worry a little about it. I can't seem to grasp the properties of the shapes. It's just one of those things. I mean I did have my problems with the darn circle last year and this is just the same. I don't really like fractions either... so when I see those, it's not good.<br />I know how to differentiate the shapes though so I supoose that's not too bad. I guess what I have to worry about is solving the problems because I think I can at least convert an equation from general form to standard form. Actually, the properties of the different shapes aren't that difficult. I guess it's the fact that there ARE different shapes that has my head spinning.<br />I have no confidence in this class. Well, maybe just a glimmer, but that's it!<br />I'm feeling tres uneasy right now, but I hope some studying tonight will help.<br />Sometimes I feel like these "group workshops" don't help me because I feel better trying to do it on my own, but sometimes it it benefits me because it answers questions I don't think to ask.<br />Well let's hope I do well. The last two tests weren't so bad (I think!) so hopefully this won't be too bad.<br />Good luck everyone.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-2945491639322091935?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>linahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13569161868592682001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-28678999472308460602007-12-19T18:58:00.000-06:002007-12-19T19:08:50.293-06:00The conics unit is finished and our unit test is tomorrow. I have to say that this unit wasn't hard and was easy to understand. Perhaps one of the only things that trick me is when we have to complete the square for an elipse and hyperbola. Half the time I forget to multiply the squared term by the coefficient if there is one, so I have to be careful of that if it's on the test. I think I understand everything else since I know the properties of each conic. Like the signs in an elipse are always the same while in an hyperbola they are opposite, whether the 'y' is negative or the 'x'; an parabola only has one squared term; and a circle has the same coefficient for the 'x' and 'y'. I'm pretty confident on making the equations for each conics and that I'll do well in this test.<br /><br />Good luck to everyone!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-2867899947230846060?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JessiccaIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12535176793329165360noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-36871803172488098622007-12-19T18:57:00.000-06:002007-12-19T19:05:15.527-06:00alright I'm here to do my BOB which means it almost time to do a test on Conics..<br /><br />this unit is pretty simple, its basically the same thing we have learn in the past about parabolas and then some, IE opening on the y access, hyperbolas and ellipse. I feel comfortable with this unit and feel a have a fair understanding, but on the pretest we did i did mange to figure out the final question just my problem was i made a concept error when i place the X, and Y values to find A i forgot that they were all to the Power of 2.<br />So i guess i will need to improve on better organization of my questions, its the same thing over and over for me i make a few small mistakes because im trying to save time and i forget stuff here or there.<br /><br />well good luck on the test everyone i really should study but i think i would be better off going to bed early<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-3687180317248809862?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JoeShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03079805457989651126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-76685305275819365542007-12-19T18:29:00.000-06:002007-12-19T18:30:53.368-06:00Well it is time for blogging on blogging. This Conics unit is fairly easy.<br />I understand how to solve problems such as parabola, ellipses and hyperbola. The only problem I found is how to apply the different properties and how to apply each of these in making a graph. And how to solve some word problems. But over all it is fairly easy.<br /><br /><br />Well study hard guys and good luck to our test tomorrow!!!<br />=)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-7668530527581936554?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>_-precious_01'25'26-_http://www.blogger.com/profile/11636528525915552165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-23293237632379714782007-12-19T17:15:00.001-06:002007-12-19T17:33:26.819-06:00Hey guys this is my BOB for the "Conics" unit. Overall I found this unit to be fairly easy. There's not anything in particular that I think is really hard. The only thing that could possibly be "difficult" is remembering all the properties that apply to the each type of graph and knowing where to use them. Other than that everything else is pretty straightforward. The mathematical calculations are quite simple because basically all there is to do is the pythagorean theorem and solving for things algebraically. After that it's just about knowing and understanding the definitions of each "figure". Okay well good luck on the test tomorrow everyone (:<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-2329323763237971478?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kimberleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11990401653328342552noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-6232105681188359172007-12-19T17:09:00.000-06:002007-12-19T17:13:59.820-06:00Hey it's Anthony once again. The unit of Conics was a pretty straightforward unit. Somethings I found hard were changing equations form standard form to general and also keeping in mind all the characteristics which determine whether it is a parabola, hyperbola, elipse or circle. This unit in general was a unit I enjoyed. Good luck to all.<br /><br />"No prisoners!

We first began talking about sonic booms. Basically a sonic boom is what you hear when something like a plane traveling at twice the speed of sound passes you and then its sonic wave produces a hyperbola shape and the edge of the hyperbola is when you hear the sound of a sonic boom and it's almost like an explosion. For more information here's a link ! just copy and paste to your URL on top of the web browser <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_boom<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CSibFbqilpU/R2XXMVdC2AI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ikZlbZ7nuZk/s1600-h/precalll.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CSibFbqilpU/R2XXMVdC2AI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ikZlbZ7nuZk/s320/precalll.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144754756258027522" border="0" /></a><br /> Basically we folded a piece of paper and it resulted in what the diagram is above these words. What's going on you ask? Well we first measured from <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">PF1 and measured PF2, and then took the difference of those two lengths. <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Then we took RF1 and measured it then measured RF2 and took the difference from those two points. <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">From this point many of us started noticing a pattern. <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Lastly we took the measurements of QF1 and QF2 and then took the difference of those two lengths. <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">To our surprise we noticed that from taking the differences from all of those fixed points they all turned out to be equidistant. Much like the parabola, but this time with two parabolas. Mr. K was about to lean forward to what a hyperbola was then we ran out of time. Expect the next part of the lecture on MONDAY ! That was all for the day, CHEERS !<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">THE NEXT SCRIBE IS !! ................. </span></span></span></span></span></span>chrycel !!<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"></span><br /></span></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-2359206359780957634?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>oliver_796http://www.blogger.com/profile/05856731575280461678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-602008769946054812007-12-14T11:30:00.001-06:002007-12-14T11:30:54.166-06:00Here they are ...<br /><br /><center><br /><div style="width:425px;text-align:left" id="__ss_203608"><object style="margin:0px" width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=precal-40s-slides-december-14-2007-1197653262911510-5"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=precal-40s-slides-december-14-2007-1197653262911510-5" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><div style="font-size:11px;font-family:tahoma,arial;height:26px;padding-top:2px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/?src=embed"><img src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/logo_embd.png" style="border:0px none;margin-bottom:-5px" alt="SlideShare"/></a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/dkuropatwa/precal-40s-slides-december-14-2007" title="View 'Pre-Cal 40S Slides December 14, 2007' on SlideShare">View</a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/upload">Upload your own</a></div></div><br /></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-60200876994605481?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dkuropatwahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08462283847470560887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-13021181436167474012007-12-13T18:57:00.000-06:002007-12-13T23:06:30.194-06:00Well it's Miller again scribing my last scribe for the year. After this I wont have to worry about scribing again.<br /><br />Today was a very charismatic class. In the morning class we learned that Mr. K's favorite channel on television was channel 50(tree house). Apparently it is the most educational show... only if Steve was still there. Anywhoo today we continued to learn about ellipses.<br /><br />Mr.K showed told us about the whisper room. How it works. If we stand at focal point in the room and someone were to whisper while they were at the other focal point we<br />would hear what they'd say. He then becamce " Ultraman" and took his great and mighty sword and cut the Whisper room in half to show us how our sound would travel around.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lL37Rl4OMR8/R2HkxTPprII/AAAAAAAAABU/eIb8-hRHYoo/s1600-h/whisper+room.bmp"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lL37Rl4OMR8/R2HkxTPprII/AAAAAAAAABU/eIb8-hRHYoo/s320/whisper+room.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143643785064459394" border="0" /></a><br /><br />In this picture Mr. K hath spliced the room in half. We are looking at it from a horizontal point of view. The red lines represent the voices of the two people sitting at the points marked on ellipse. These are also known as "focal radii".<br /><br />We then were taught how to properly sketch an ellipse. In the picture below. I believe that it was jessica and lina who wonderfully completed this question on the board.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lL37Rl4OMR8/R2Hn8TPprJI/AAAAAAAAABc/j6Nin3922cE/s1600-h/ss.bmp"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lL37Rl4OMR8/R2Hn8TPprJI/AAAAAAAAABc/j6Nin3922cE/s320/ss.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143647272577903762" border="0" /></a><br /><br />To draw this ellipse fully we first must find out where the <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">center</span> is and find the <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">focal points.</span><br /><br />As we look at the equation we can easily find the <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">center</span> of the ellipse which is <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">(2,-1)</span>. We get this by looking for the "<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">h</span>" and the "<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">k</span>" of the equation.<br /><br />To find the focal point we have to find what <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">C</span> is. <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">C</span> is the distance from the center to one of the focal points. To find this we use pythagorean theorem.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">c^2=a^2-b^2</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">c^2=16-9</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">c^2=7</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">c=√7 </span><br /><br />Once we have this we move <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">√7</span> units up from the center and <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">√7</span> units down, since this ellipse opens vertically. That means the focal points of the ellipse are <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">(2,√7-1)</span> and <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">(2,-1-√7)<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">.<br /><br />The length of the <span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);">major axis</span> is 8. To find this we take whatever "a" was in the equation and multiply it by two. In this case "a" was 4. So we go <span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);">2x4=8.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Similarly to find the <span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">minor axis</span> we take "b" and multiply by two. Which is <span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">2x3=6</span>.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">AFTERNOON CLASS*<br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br />Our afternoon class was cut short to an extent.

Today we learned about ellipses. We started out by bringing out our previous drawn ellipse. which mine was stolen from my binder. Anyways later on in the class we drew a ling through the longest side of the ellipse through the center and named it "major axis". After wards we drew a line through the center again but this time perpendicular and through the shortest points of the ellipse.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rGie8Qvex1o/R2Co0MKWfkI/AAAAAAAAABw/m8Ad-bD7MTk/s1600-h/precal.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rGie8Qvex1o/R2Co0MKWfkI/AAAAAAAAABw/m8Ad-bD7MTk/s400/precal.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143296389028412994" border="0" /></a><br />Now how do we find the focus? well we determined <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">length a <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">is equal to the distance of A1 or A2 to the origin, and <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Length b </span>is equal to the distance of B1 or B2 to the origin. We will call point F1 and F2 our focus. We know the Hypotenuse is <span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);">Length a, <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">and leg is equal to length b we can now use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">length c</span>. By doing this we know the exact location of the focus. Because the distance from the center of the ellipse to the focus is length c. So now we know length c.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">Now a little off topic but if we wanted to the value of P we could. Take length c and subtract it from Length a and we get a distance. that distance is P. Since earlier we learned the location of the focus = the appropriate value of the vertex + P. After we could also use distance P to find the directrix of the ellipse, on the other hand I don't have the slightest clue if ellipses have directrix but this is another way to look at an ellipse. <br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Anywho I am starving off to my 5th meal of the day.

Sorry for the late, late post. On Monday, we learned about parabolas and looked deeper into what they are. In the beginning of class Mr.K told everyone to take a piece of paper and gave us instructions on how to fold it. When we were all done you could see parabolas on the paper from the indents from folding. We continued on learning about the Focus point, "P", "p", the vertex and etc. <br /><br /><br />0kay for around an hour or so i've been attempting to upload pictures that i drew on paint and it hasn't been working at all. It says it's loading but it never completes the process. I have tried uploading the slides as well, I restarted my computer but it still didn't help so I'm going to tried to explain without any pictures...<br /><br />This is the standard form of a parabola:<br /><br />(x-h)^2=4p(y-k) <br /><br />PARABOLA: the locus, of points, obey a certain rule to make a parabola.<br />LOCUS: set of points.<br /><br /><br />****When you want to identify whether the parabola is horizontal or vertical you need to recognize if "x" or "y" is being squared. If "x" is being squared then vertical but if "y" is being squared then you know it's horizontal.****<br /><br />****To determine if the parabola is opening upwards or downwards, or which side it's opening towards, you look at "p" and if it's positive it will open to the positive side (upwards). If it's negative it will open to the negative side(downwards).****<br /><br />****Where's the vertex??? The vertex is found by taking "h" & "k" and multiplying them by -1 because in the standard form "h" & "k" have negative signs. Now you have both "x" and "y" coordinates for your vertex, x=h and y=k.****<br /><br />****Directrix??? This is a line that the parabola must have to be an actual parabola. It is the line that is either an x coordinate or y coordinate, it IS NOT an order pair! <br /><br />DISTANCE FROM FOCUS POINT TO VERTEX = DISTANCE FROM VERTEX TO DIRECTRIX<br /><br />DISTANCE FROM ANY POINT ON THE PARABOLA TO DIRECTRIX = DISTANCE FROM ANY POINT ON THE PARABOLA TO THE FOCUS POINT<br /><br />These notes are a couple of notes i took down in class on Monday, we spent a lot of time understanding these important facts and discussing the "folding paper" experiment. Sorry for the short blog hopefully it's helpful. If there are any questions comment below or corrections of any kind. Thanksss. :) Next scribe is <br />Sergio, he will being doing today's.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-5125029301110595085?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>cheyyt.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14583914946053014593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-87578539138802607842007-12-11T14:51:00.000-06:002007-12-11T14:53:25.711-06:00Here they are ...<br /><br /><center><br /><div style="width:425px;text-align:left" id="__ss_200125"><object style="margin:0px" width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=precal-40s-slides-december-11-2007-1197406304585913-2"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=precal-40s-slides-december-11-2007-1197406304585913-2" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><div style="font-size:11px;font-family:tahoma,arial;height:26px;padding-top:2px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/?src=embed"><img src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/logo_embd.png" style="border:0px none;margin-bottom:-5px" alt="SlideShare"/></a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/dkuropatwa/precal-40s-slides-december-11-2007" title="View 'Pre-Cal 40S Slides December 11, 2007' on SlideShare">View</a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/upload">Upload your own</a></div></div><br /></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-8757853913880260784?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dkuropatwahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08462283847470560887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-90896900536466361942007-12-10T16:03:00.000-06:002007-12-10T16:04:38.216-06:00Here they are ...<br /><br /><center><br /><div style="width:425px;text-align:left" id="__ss_198775"><object style="margin:0px" width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=precal-40s-slides-december-10-2007-1197318255863386-4"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=precal-40s-slides-december-10-2007-1197318255863386-4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><div style="font-size:11px;font-family:tahoma,arial;height:26px;padding-top:2px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/?src=embed"><img src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/logo_embd.png" style="border:0px none;margin-bottom:-5px" alt="SlideShare"/></a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/dkuropatwa/precal-40s-slides-december-10-2007" title="View 'Pre-Cal 40S Slides December 10, 2007' on SlideShare">View</a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/upload">Upload your own</a></div></div><br /></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-9089690053646636194?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>dkuropatwahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08462283847470560887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-86593805351600693782007-12-09T21:26:00.000-06:002007-12-09T21:36:16.965-06:00<div style="width: 425px; text-align: left;" id="__ss_197841"><object style="margin: 0px;" height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=conics-scribe-post-1197256898565981-4"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=conics-scribe-post-1197256898565981-4" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><div style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,arial; height: 26px; padding-top: 2px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/?src=embed"><img src="http://static.slideshare.net/swf/logo_embd.png" style="border: 0px none ; margin-bottom: -5px;" alt="SlideShare" /></a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/paulo222precal40s/conics-scribe-post" title="View 'Conics Scribe Post' on SlideShare">View</a> | <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/upload">Upload your own</a></div></div><br /><br />The next scribe is <span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Cheyyt.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Okay converting my slides into a PDF sorta meddled with it.

I wished we spent a little more time on the poker stuff and the binomial stuff. At least another day for both of them. It was okay the unit was short and most of the stuff I understood. I learned that this unit didn't have mechanical steps into finding the right answer but you actually had to think about it and work it out using different ways. I liked that. Well this unit, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">combinatorics</span>, is coming to a close. Now, say hello to conics.

I really don't know what to say about this unit. As compared to the other units and how i preformed in them i wouldn't say this was much more difficult then the rest but definitely more difficult.<br /><br />Muddiest point would be knowing when to use which formula. I really don't know when to use Pick or Choose. Also I've been adding stuff when i should be multiplying. That's been hurting me for the past few days. Binomial therom is really throwing me off, haven't quite gotten all the patterns memorized.<br /><br />Priniples of counting and circular permutations are Okay. I really more worried about the stuff i mentioned above.<br /><br />Well good luck to all, i know I'm gonna need it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-2582277468154493464?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Saromo, Paulohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13242006312492912562noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891822892570916867.post-82997327442687274222007-12-07T00:13:00.000-06:002007-12-07T00:19:28.939-06:00Okay, so this unit was all about counting. On the very beginning of this unit, I kinda have trouble with it, I didn't understand anything that day, but it's all good now. My muddiest point would probably be what formula to choose from the "pick" or the "choose" formula, and, whether to add or multiply the combinations or permutations.

I'm back! So... Combinatorics... I thought this unit was the most interesting. Mr. K. really did blow my mind when he talked about 'PhI' (Φ). I was so amazed and everything!. The thing that confused me the most was finding all the different card combinations. I have to think for such a long time to figure out what numbers to use. Another that I'm still confused about is the distinguishable and non-distinguishable things. I sometimes get confused with which one's which. The rest of the things... I think I'm okay with.

My apologies for the very late post. The font is pretty small so I suggest you look at it through Slide Share.

Maybe my memory's shottt but I thought logz were much harder. I think the thing I have the hardest time on or my "muddiest point" would be poker possibilities, maybe even remembering and deciphering the Choose and Pick formulas. I also don't know how to punch in the formulas in the calculator yet 'cause I need to get a new one still. I honestly don't know what I'm good at and what I have troubles with, I learned something new today though. The "multiple choice" and "true and false" questions; ex. 2^(number of questions) for number of possible sheets. Well, time to escape conciousness. =) Good luck on the test tmw.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-2424755782914297306?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>- - !!

Okay I did not seem to like this unit even the second time around. It's because, you really have to think into the questions to really understand it and I just can't seem to do that. It's whether to use pick or choose or just the fundamental principle of counting. It just seems so very complex. The circle questions are quite hard to grasp as well, once different restrictions are put upon it. I guess it's back to practicing these types of question to be able to answer them. Anyway good luck to everyone byee!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4891822892570916867-3970281281326469107?l=pc40sf07.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>oliver_796http://www.blogger.com/profile/05856731575280461678noreply@blogger.com0
