Environmental Ethic

Negatively effected:

This has negatively effected me, because when I see this commercial, I see that the professionals use this brand of wood bat and I personally want to have the best product that money can buy, so that is why this type of bat appeals to me. This specific bat featured in the video is made of maple. Marucci makes tens of thousands of these bats per year that actually gets sold, this number isn’t including the bats that didn’t pass the quality test to be sold to the public, so overall tons of maple trees are being cut down and used to create one of these bats. And when people like me see that the pros are using these bats, it makes us want to buy one or more of these bats which promotes the maple trees being cut down.

 

Positively effected:

The quote by Andy in Shawshank Redemption has positively effected me in the way that I should be making the most of my days, and when I hear this quote I only think about the positive aspect of living, it almost makes me feel like I should be helping out and getting involved with more of the worlds environmental issues like the big littering issue we have all over the world. This quote overall makes me do everything more carefully and think of possible repercussions of my every move that can even slightly have an effect on the environment.

Week 17 – Sine Law

This week I learned how to use the Sine Law. First is you need to determine which side or angle you’re looking for, if you need to find the angle, you put the Sin on top of the fraction, if you’re looking for the side length then you put x or whatever the letter is on top of the fraction. Then you move the denominator over to multiply by the top of the fraction on the other side of the equation If you’re looking for the angle you always need to use inverse sin, if you’re looking for the angle, then you can use regular sin.

Week 13 – Solving Absolute Value Equations

This week I learned how to solve absolute value equations. This question asked to use algebra to solve so I have to find the roots of the equation. Usually you would need to do one positive equation and one negative, but for this case the positive gave me both roots. All I had to do was move the 2 over to the other side of the equation, then factor it out. That gave me both of my roots. The negative one didn’t work for this equation as well.

Week 11 – Graphing Inequalities and Systems of Equations

This week I learned how to determine weather a point is going to be a solution in a inequality.

First you have to move either x or y over, in this case the y was easier to move because it was originally negative. After you move your x or y over, then you plug in the point that you have to find out if it’s a solution or not. If you plug everything in and solve, it’ll be a solution if the inequality is true.

Week 9 – Analyzing Standard Form

This week I learned how to use standard form, from standard form you can find the vertex, and to find the y intercept, you just plug in 0 where x is and solve for the rest of it. If you find where the parabola opens and where the vertex is, you can tell how many x intercepts there will be, in this question the parabola opens up and the vertex has both positive numbers so there were no x intercepts.
