Math and Philosophy
Today was our first class where we had Mr. Colgate in for a discussion on math, philosophy, infinity, as well as when to use debating and when to use dialogue. It was a cool class for me, because we got to think about some topics that I hardly ever think deeply about, and it left me without thoughts on some questions that…

Modeling Polynomials
Key: Expanded = Simplified = Explanation = First I expanded the expression. Since = 4×4, then has to equal . Then I simplified the expression using the FOIL method. First – (x)(x) = , outside – (x)(1) = x, inside (x)(1), and then last = 1×1. Then I added them up. Expanded = Simplified = Explanation = For this one, I expanded…
What I Know About Trigonometry So Far
I’ve always wondered what the sin, cos, and tan buttons meant on my calculator. Earlier this week I learned they mean sine, cosine, and tangent, and are used to help us find missing angles in a right triangle. There are three sides to a right triangle – the hypotenuse (which doesn’t change depending on the angle we’re looking for), the opposite,…
Garibaldi Lake
In this problem, we learned about Garibaldi Lake (a lake near Squamish) and the Barrier that dams the lake. We were asked what would happen if we have a natural disaster such as an earthquake or faulting that would cause this barrier to move or collapse. The questions were “How much water does the Barrier contain? If the Barrier faulted,…
What I Learned in Measurement
I’ve always wondered how people measured long ago, before the systems we use now, and today I learned some of the ways of measurement through out time. It was interesting to learn about the cubit, used in Ancient Egypt, and how it was based on the kings forearm length. Measurement wasn’t very specific back then, because one persons cubit could…
