In this project I learned how to make shapes and letters on a graphs. I needed to find the slope of lines and make them start and stop based on their coordinates. I used the two coordinates of a line and used the slope formula to find it’s slope. Followed by slope point and  domain. The end would most of the time in a crisp positive or negative oblique line. I repeated   this process many times to create N.e.M. Something I struggled with was finding coordinates at some points. When I realized that I had a problem coordinate wise with my letter e, I had to rearrange my M. Sometimes I would get the coordinate wrong when typing it into the equation and that would throw me off and I would have to go back and check it.

 

 

 

 

 

Week 13 – Slope formula

This week in math 10 I learned the importance of slope and how we can find it. There is more than one way to find the slope of a graph. One is called a T-chart and one is called slope formula. In my opinion slope formula is the more efficient way to find the slope of a graph because the math is easier.

slope formula needs two coordinates (nice points) of a graph to work. To start, you take the y facture of the second coordinate and minus it by the y facture of the the first coordinate. if the first y facture is already negative, then you add it instead

ex/ : (5,-3)  (6, 4)      y’s = 4+3     because two negatives make a positive

the y’s are put directly on top the x’s, in the same process so that the finish product is rise over run

Week 11 Blog post – points and intercepts

This week in Math 10 I learned how to identify special points on a graph to find a domain and range. Domain equals the X points on the graph and the Y points are the range.

once I learned how to identify coordinates on the graph, I was able to start finding nice points on line graphs of functions and relations, linear and non linear lines. However these relations are usually continuous, meaning we don’t know when they end on the graph, so we use the infinity symbol.

The points on a graph have a lot to do with how you read and write you domain and range

a dot or filled dark circle represent to be equal to or greater than the number to it’s right uses [.  ] brackets

an open circle equals not equal to and greater to the number on its right. Uses (.   ) brackets

infinity symbol means it goes on forever or there is an arrow at the end of the line uses (.   ) brackets

Week 8 blog post – factoring trinomials

This week I learned how to factor trinomials.

in my example I listed all the possible factors for 16. when factoring trinomials an important clue to look for is the the multiplication factors of the the last term should equal the sum of the middle term. in my example of x squared+10x+16 I used the factor of 2 and 8 because 2×8=16 and  2+8=10

Week 9 blog post – midterm review

I learned how to do good midterm review. I actively studied and and practices using the class examples in our workbooks and practice tests. I surrounded myself with people who wanted to really get work done and I was able to learn things from them as well as reminding them of some things myself. The daily 3 questions that we did in class leading up to the test helped a lot s well.
