## Where does one find beauty in the face of extreme conflict?

A source that can help you overcome extreme conflict is the book “The One and Only Ivan”, I refer to this book a lot as it tells so much. To overcome his conflict Ivan found friendship, a hobby and a love connection.

## Week 3 Math 10

Negative Exponents.

This week in Class we were learning the basics about negative exponents. Going into it I thought it would be extremely tough, turns out math with negative exponents is easy then positive ones!

I am going to show you step by step how to solve an equation with negative exponents:

8x$^{^-3}$

So, really 8x$^{^-3}$ is,

Which then to get the exponent positive you move it to look like. And because the base is x, x moves with it.

We will do another one, 12a$^{^-5}$ . It really looks like,

But we flip the negative to make it positive,

## Week 2 – Math 10

Weekly Blog Post 1

This week in Math 10 I learned how to find factors, find GCF and LCM, Square and Cubed roots, and so much more. I want to show my learning of what makes up a radical expression and how to solve it. I have done the equation 5 $\sqrt[2]{20}$ in my video and named what each number is called.

In the book The one and only Ivan by Katherine Applegate, I learned that emotions play a huge part in humans lives. The book is about a gorilla, however, the characteristics and emotions I felt I could easily put myself into the character of Ivan and feel what he was feeling. Ivan was a gorilla who was alone in a cage and learned to paint and have fun within his cage. He was abused by the zookeeper and made friends with other animals but he taught me you will go through hard times and abuse, verbally, mentally, or physically but, you can over come them in time. Ivan finishes by finding something that motivated him to overcome the past wounds and memories and try to help the someone who motivated him. With this story I learned there will be hard times and memories that may last forever, but, you will break that shell and experience a whole different world and meaning of life.
