Week 14 Pre Calc 11

This weeek we just got started on our new unit trigonometry. We had a grade 10 review day on friday and it was just going over the basics of trigonometry. Because of this, I remembered how to label each side of a right angle triangle. The corner with the angle in it, the opposite side of the triangle is called the oposite. The adjacent side would be the side right beside the angle. And the hypotenuse is the opposite side of the right angle. It is important to have the triangle labeled out because, it lets us set up our equation/tell us what sign to us (SOH,CAH,TOA).

Week 13 Pre Calc 11

This week we learned about rational expressions. We learned about adding subtracting and multiplying. The easier ones are the multiplication and division questions. Adding and subtracting are hard because you have to make the denominators the same. One way I like to do expressions that require addition or subtraction I like to cross multiply to get rid of the denominators. Getting rid of the denominator gives me the ability to evaluate from the numerator. I then move the expression over to one side, making sure I swap the signs to the opposite, and I collect like terms and evaluate. Thats it and if I can i factor the expression and that will tell me what x equals.

Week 11 Pre Calc 11

This week I learned how to solve linear and quadratic inequalities algebraically.

If we have a question that looks like, 3x-5^less then 7^, what I am asked to find is where x could be. First I would have to isolate x. So I add add five onto both sides moving it over with the 7. This leaves us with 3x and 12. The x isn’t fully isolated yet so I need to divide 3 on both sides. After, I am left with x^less then^4. This answer isn’t direct but it does tell me x can be any number below 4 so I would write,-infinity,4.

Week 9 Pre Calc 11

This week I learned about how completing the square of an equation can be graphed. For example,

If I had an equation that looked like xsqrd-12x+4 I would then complete the square– (x-6)sqrd+4, this would then be known as standard form. A for in which you can graph. This equation is know telling me how to find the vertex. For the vertex I go 6 to the right, and 4 up. Since there is no stretch I would then draw it the same way as a normal symmetrical graph.

sea devil questions

  1. Why does the man fish by night?
  • The man liked to fish by night because he liked to cast alone and found it very different from what they did in the 20th This leads to the conflict because he is unable to see what he is catching when its dark and quiet outside. The significance is that he does not fish for a living he fishes for fun.
  1. Identify 3 examples of foreshadowing?
  • An example of foreshadowing was when he slipped the knot over his wrists.
  • Another example of foreshadowing was when the man mentioned he let the baby porpoise go.
  • The third and final example of foreshadowing was when the author said “he looked closely to make sure no stingray was hidden in the mesh”.
  1. Identify the following parts of the parts plot: the complicating incident/ a single crisis/ the climax, the resolution and the ending
  • The complicating incident: The man wasn’t going to cast anything until he saw two or three mullets together in a group.
  • A single crisis: Was when the man realized that he had caught a sea devil instead of some mullets.
  • The climax: When the ray swam quickly and he made the choice to cut the rope, his plan worked out in the end.
  • The resolution: The man decided to let the mullet go and he would never go casting at night alone.
  • The ending: The ending is a happy ending because he was saved and realized that he cannot fish at night alone.
  1. One of the conflicts is between the civilized and primitive world (define these two words first). What is the purpose of the references made to the plane, the causeway, and the man’s wife at home?

Civilized world is where everyone is living and everything’s modern and developed.

Primitive world is where its only the natural aspects of earth and nature.

The conflict against the civilized world and primitive world is that the man against the ray and the darkness of the primitive world. The references of the planes and causeway were a sign or symbol to show that humans have accomplished a lot. The planes were to show how or that we can float through the air to travel the world, and the lights near the causeway is to overcome the struggles and things that are harder of the darkness. Now the man’s wife that had been sitting in her house is to show that mankind or the community is that it stays protected, warm, and entertained during the night.

  1. What does the man learn at the end of the story? Why does he release the mullet?

At the end of the story the man learns how it feels to not be the hunter and how to be the prey. The man had decided to release the mullet.

 

  1. Find 3 examples of descriptive language – this will lead into a discussion of figurative language.                                                                                                                   
  2. Personification – “the good, rough, honest wood”
  3. simile – “a great horned thing shot like a huge bat of of the water”
  4. figurative language – “he saw the mullet he had just caught, gasping its life away on the floor boards of the skiff.”

Feminism/Gender Inequality

“When I went in to give my application, the older lady said, ‘This is no kind of job for a woman.’”
When I was 14 I was applying for a job at a place that builds lawn chairs. From the time I was little I was always my Dad’s sidekick and he is a contractor, so I knew exactly how to do this kind of work. When I went in to give my application the older lady that was the manager, she said, “This is no kind of job for a woman.” That is when I proceeded to notify her I had previous experience and she completely dismissed me. The thing that stung the most was it was a fellow woman who dismissed me.

This article is a perfect example of gender inequality. Just because she is a girl, she isn’t allowed to work at a job of her choice? instead of working at a job she is eligible and has the right experience to work their, she doesnt get the job because she is a female. This is why I chose this article to talk about.

How does this relate to- The Friday Everything Changed. I agree generally this job doesnt have women working their just like how the boys always carry the water bucket. That doesn’t mean women cant work their/carry the water bucket.
