Math 10 – Week 18 (Final Blog Post)

Math 10 was a very important class me for. I found success when I did five things.

Took Notes in Class.  

Actively taking notes was very important. Writing the notes made it so I could personalise and make the notes so I could properly interpret them.

Did Homework Daily 

This was very important as it prepared me for tests and skills checks. It also was helpful because I was able to see which questions I could answer and which questions I needed to look up.

Study Realistically 

It is good to do the appropriate amount of revising so you are prepared but also that you can interpret all your new knowledge.

Remember Ms Burton’s Memorsization Tools

Perfect Squares Have even exponents, Flower Power (in a power that is a fraction the denominator becomes the root and the numerator will stay the power) {Chapter 1 and 2}. Soh Cah Toa (Sine= opposite/hypotenuse) (Cos-Cosine= adjacent/hypotenuse) (Tan- Tangent= opposite/ adjacent) {Trigonometry}.Best Friends Share Deserts (Brackets, Fractions, Sorting Zero Pairs, Divide) {majority units}.

Have a Scientific Calculator Everyday

YOUR PHONE IS NOT A CALCULATOR! Make sure to have a calculator that is easy to use with basic functions like π, √.

Math 10 – Week 17

This week we looked at finding the point where 2 lines intercept.

Substitution  

1.) find a variable with a coefficient of 1.

2.) make it so the equation is equal to the coefficients (ex. x=2y+2)

3.) use the other line and substitute the other coefficient

4.) group like terms

5.) isolate the variable

6.) once you find the value of the variable, input it into one of the questions

7.) isolate the other variable

Elimination 

1.) find a zero pair with one of the variables

2.) Isolate the other variable

3.) input your answer into one of the equations

4.) isolate the other variable

tartaric acid; tartaric acid uses are mainly as a sour flavoring or as a stabilizer in its cream form. It is used in the baking powder, candies & wine. It also works as a laxative and as an antioxidants in a variety of food products, specially the packaged food materials. In certain situations tartaric acid may also be used to induce vomiting. Tartaric acid has a yeast like taste and is found in products like frosted cakes, candies & soft drinks. But it should be taken in only advised quantities as intake in high doses might be dangerous. A high dose can lead to extreme reactions like paralysis or death.

fumaric acid; adhd-like behavior, asthma.

Math 10 – Week #16

This week in math we learned about the three differents ways to write a linear equation and the way we can convert from one form to another. Converting from slope intercept and general from can be very easy if you follow the following steps,

Picture;

1.) Once you have the coordinates, you find the slope. The slope can be found by taking the first “y” variable and subtracting the second “y” variable. Then you do the same with the “x” variables.

->M= y1-y2/x1-x2

2.) After you input the slope value, you put the “y” and “x” variables in by using either the first or second pair of pair of coordinates. The goal is to find the b value to do the formula for slope intercept, which is y=mx+b.

3.) Finally, you have your equation in slope-intercept form and the way you convert the equation is by doing the opposite of the numbers,

for example,

y=-2x+y-8 -> 2x+y+8=0

Slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m=Slope

b=y-intercept

General form:

ax+by+c=0

Leading coefficient has to be positive

The Great Chili Cook-off

Emilio, Cameron, Allan, Runa

Unit 5

<<The Sweet Chili Recipe>>

Yield: <<6>>

Ingredients

2 Tbsp olive oil *
1 yellow onion *
2 cloves garlic *
1 lb. ground beef $
1 (15 oz.) can kidney beans *
1 (15 oz.) can black beans $
1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes *
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste *
1 cup water *
Chili Seasoning

1 Tbsp chili powder *
1 tsp ground cumin *
¼ tsp cayenne powder *
¼ tsp garlic powder *
½ tsp onion powder $
½ Tbsp brown sugar *
1 tsp salt *
Freshly ground pepper (about ½ tsp) $

Method

Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add both to a large pot with the olive oil and cook over medium heat until they are soft and transparent. Add the ground beef and continue to sauté until the beef is fully browned.
Drain the beans and add them to the pot along with the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, 1 cup water, and all of the ingredients for the chili seasoning. Stir until well combined. Place a lid on the pot and allow it to simmer over a low flame for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally (the flavor gets better the longer it simmers

 

Reflection;

Day 1; On the first day of the chili cook off we all looked up a chili recipe that had affordable, complex ingredients. We followed the recipe with a few extra ingredients that would add a few more elements to our chili. We combined the garlic powder, cayenne, and a few more spices to our tray in preparation for the next day.

Day 2; The second day we started making our chili. On the second day it was only Emilio, Alan and I. We added all our dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl like: the cayenne, garlic powder, cumin, and the rest of the dry ingredients. While simultaneously cooking the onions and beef in a large saucepan. While the meat was browning, Emilio drained the kidney beans and I drained the black beans. We added the beans shortly after. Then adding the diced tomatos and tomato sauce with lots of chili powder and continuously adding cinnamon, sugar and salt. For the remander of the block Alan and I stirred the chili while Emilio was cleaning up.

Day 3, The third day we had Runa back and she braid the cheese braid. We heated up the chili for 45 minutes while preparing the bread. The bread was crunchy on the outside while soft on the inside. To make the bread we added all the ingredients and we added more milk to make sure that we wouldn’t have dry bread. The way we presented it was putting tortilla chips and cheese on the bottom while doing the same thing to the top. We also added green peppers. The cheese was nice because it melted due to the heat of the chili

 

Math 10 – Week #14

This week we learned about slopes and graphs, and when interpreting the graph it is hard to understand what the graph is reading. Specifically knowing if the graph is showing a positive(+), negative(-), a zero slope, or a undefined slope.

POSITIVE slope

The slope starts at the left and increases to the right

NEGATIVE slope

The slope starts at the left and decreases to the right

ZERO slope

The slope has to go in a perfectly horizontal line into the quadrant horizontal to the other.

UNDEFINED slope

 

The slope has to go in a perfectly vertical into the quadrant directly below or above.

Looking at this lab at first, I thought it was going to be a complete disaster, however, my group members and I fought through it and managed to bake up a nice batch of brownies. Each member contributed equally and put maximum effort. In the end the brownies tasted delicious and it was a great experience.

Math 10 – Week 11

Recently I was looking back over my blog posts for Math 10, and I realized that I never did a blog posts for the different numbers groups. I was surprised about the fact that I didn’t do a blog for the number groups because it is the simplest topic but can get very confusing

 

CHART OF ALL THE NUMBER GROUPS;

– Natural Numbers {N} ; all positive, whole numbers, but not including zero, no negative numbers

– Whole Numbers {W} ; all positive, whole numbers, including zero, no negative numbers

– Integers {I} ; positive and negative, whole numbers, including zero,

– Rational {Q} ; can be written as a fraction ex; 5/1 = 5

– Irrational {Q} ; CANNOT be written as a fraction ex; 17/4

– Real {R} ; All rational & irrational numbers
