This is my mind map that shows examples of plots, themes, characters, settings, and connection to present society. Applications that assisted in the making of the mind map was Canva for the template, and photoroom to remove backgrounds on some of the images. I really loved this project and enjoyed making the mind map.
This week I learned about how to make a system with word problems, an example is…
before we get into a word problem, we have to define what different words mean while making a system, as you can see in the picture above, it shows what different words resemble while making a system. An example in a word problem is…
as you see, I defined all the words on the word problem, and once you understand the meanings of words and can effectively label them, then, you can easily create a system based on it.
This week, I learned about which method I should use to solve systems, an example is…
before we decide which method to use, we have to determine what situations we would use each of the methods, now, there is actually a third method where we can graph it, but its the hardest and most ineffective way in my opinion and these two are the best and most effective to use. an example with systems is…
On our first example, we can see that their is no isolated variable and once we see that, we automatically look towards elimination, which checks all the boxes which means elimination would be the best strategy.
In this example, we can see that their is an isolated variable so right off that we can see that substitution would be the best method, and although Elimination could be used for every system, it would be much easier to use substitution when there is an isolated variable.
During this project, I learned about the 3 different equations and converting each of them into each other, I also learned how to size the lines according to the ones on my initials, you can see the expression I used for domain inside the swirly brackets {} at the end of each of the equations. There was nothing I really found extremely hard during the making of the assignment, but some things I found were annoying in the making of this assignment was converting the equations so that it matched the criteria of all 3 equations displayed at least once per letter. I found this hard because there were sometimes I would make a carless mistake and it would effect the rest of my conversion.
This week, I learned about Slope y intercept, an example is…
first, we got the pair of numbers, then we put it into a T-chart with the left numbers being the input and the right numbers being the output, on the T-chart we see the output numbers are going up by 5 so that’ll be the slope number with x and when we multiply 5 by the input numbers, we still need to subtract it by 2 to equal its output partner, so, -2 would be our y intercept. When we put it into our slope y intercept formula which is y=mx+b which we then get y=5x-2.
The political spectrum is a graph that shows the values and level of authority a party follows. A political spectrum is divided into 4 quadrants. The difference between left and right-wing politics is that the left wing is liberal, which means that they like change in the government, they also specialize in funding services like schools, roads, etc. In return for higher tax rates (big government). Right wing is conservative, which means they don’t like change (Like to keep things the way they are), they also don’t fund as many services which means lower taxes (small government). The difference between authoritarian and libertarian governments is that authoritarian governments prioritize law and order at the expense of freedom. Libertarian governments prioritize the freedom of the people at the expense of law and order. The government of INGSOC and Big Brother fit into the top right because the right wing is conservative, and they don’t like change which is the same with INGSOC because they keep the same order on the people, they are on the top part because they are very strict on laws and order with the people not having much freedom.
This week I learned how to determine steepness of a line, Ex…
before we calculate for the slope, we need to know what the different slopes mean. First we got a positive slope which is on the very right, then we got a negative slope beside it, we then have a normal horizontal line which has a slope of zero always, lastly, we have a normal vertical line which is has an undefined slope.
then we have to know the formula to calculate slope. On this formula, “m” represents slope, and the y numbers as the numerator are the output numbers and the x numbers as the denominator are the input number, and example is…
in this example, we got our 2 coordinates to find the slope of and we first plug the x and y values into our formula, as you can see the yellow underlined numbers are our y values and the green underlined numbers are our x values. Then, we do the subtraction we end up with the slope (m) 1/2 or 2.
The person I’m basing this off of is Winston Smith from the book “Ninteen Eighty-Four”. Winston Smith is the main character of the story. He is an older man from the outer party who lives in what he calls “victory mansions” which look nothing like the name, in reality, it is a run-down apartment. Winston Smith is a 39-year-old man, with wrinkles on his face and black short hair put into a side part hairstyle. Smith grew up without a mother in his life, which could contribute to his disregard to woman because he has a sexual attracting to the girl he calls “the black-haired woman”. The fantasies he has had about the girl are both gross and discussing because he knows a young girl like her wouldn’t want an old man to him, so his solution is to get rid of her by what he said as “beating her”.
