Northwest 1885 Resistance Essay

This essay is about the events that occurred in the Northwest during 1885 with the Metis peoples and the government. I did enjoy writing this essay because it shows my opinion in what had happened. I did spend quite a long time writing this essay but I would change the length of my essay because in a few parts it is a bit wordy.

Technology’s Epic Story

I agree with the first statement that Kevin Kelly had said in his presentation “Technology has its own agenda… It wants to give us things, and what it gives us is basically progress”.  I agree with this statement because technology has boosted our future. Technology has made our thinking quite advanced in many different fields, like the medical field where broken bones have been discovered due to tests done with an x-ray machine. An example of technology is an airplane. Airplanes aided the world by making traveling to different places much faster and easier, this is an example of technology helping the world progress. Tractors are another example of technology. Tractors have helped crops grow and have also made the economy grow, but tractors produce pollution which is bad for the environment. Even though sometimes technology has a bit of a toll, it often helps us progress. Overall I do believe that technology has affected our future in a positive way, and has made a phenomenal difference in our lives. We have discovered many different technologies that have made our lives much easier.

How To FOIL

foil-calculator

This week in math we got to learn how to foil polynomials. If you have to multiply two binomials you can use foil to solve the equation. Once you are done foiling you have to group the like terms together.

Example:

(9+7x)(2x+4)+(5+x)(3x+1)

= 18x+36+14x^2+28x+(5+x)(3x+1)

=18x+36+14x^2+ 28+15x+5+3x^2+x

=17x^2+34x+69

After you’re done grouping the like terms together, the equation is fully simplified.

How To Use sin,cos,tan

This week in math we learnt how to use sine, cosign, and tangent. There is an easy way to remember each one of their functions.

SOH= Sin= Opposite/Hypotenuse

CAH= Cos= Adjacent/Hypotenuse

TOA= Tan=Opposite/Adjacent

Depending on what angle/side of the triangle you need you use that function. The first step of solving your equation is to always label your triangle with the hypotenuse, opposite, and adjacent. Then you have to figure out which function you need to use. After you figure that up you set up your equation and solve it.

Example:

trig

To find x you have to use sine or tangent. I am going to use sine.

sin(65)=(\frac{x}{6})

.906307787*6=x

x=5.44
