## Week 3 in Precalc 11

This week in precalc I learned that when doing absolute values if a negative number is within braces it really means its a positive absolute value. We know this because it all depends on the numbers distance from 0.

For example:| -10|

so as shown because -10 is 10 spots from 0 the absolute value is 10

## Precalc 11 – Week 2

This week I learned how to find n in a Geometric sequence!

## My Arthmetic Sequence

$10,20,30,40,50$

Part 1:

$t_{n}$ = 10n

$t_{50}$ = 10+(49)10 = 500

Part 2:

$S_{50}$$\frac{50}{2}$ (2(10)+(50-1)10) = 12750

In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee is about the innocence of two children in the town of Maycomb, Alabama in the time of the Jim Crow laws. I learned throughout reading the novel that the world is not as perfect as it may seem or as much as you want it to be. In this novel Jim and Scout Finch grow up seeing their lawyer father protect a black man. Although everyone knows this man is innocent for the simple fact that he is black he is treated unfairly and eventually prosecuted. The children put every last bit of faith into their father that he would be able to convince the jury that he is innocent and his loss in court destroyed the children’s hope to overcome the color of his skin.
