Week 2 – Precalculus 11 – Pythagorean formula

The first image is the one that I fixed

The second image is my mistake

My mistake of the week was in the Pythagorean theorem question in page 32. At first, they gave us a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 19 cm and another length of 5 cm. After that they asked us to find the length of XY. We need to find it in a entire radical, mixed radical and the decimal to the nearest hundredth.

First step: c2=a2+b2

Second step: 192=52+XY2

Third step: 361=25+XY2

Forth step: XY2=36125=336

Fifth step: XY=radical336

it was correct for now but when it got to the ​mixed radical I got confused and I made a mistake.

Now I need to turn the entire radical: radical 336 to mixed radical as what the question wants from us.

when we want to turn the entire radical to the mixed radical, we need to find the two perfect numbers or perfect squares and turn them into the simplest number for example the perfect square was: 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100…

Than we would start dividing 336 into the perfect square from the smallest to largest, And also, 336 is a even number so it should be divided by even perfect square.

336÷4=84

336÷16=21, it would not ger simplest as this

16 would go outside of the radical and 21 would stay because it can’t get simpler than this.

The answer would be 4√21.

My mistake was that I started to divide 336 with 2 which it made me so confused and lost. I did this

336÷2=168

168÷2=84

84÷2=42

42÷2=21

I got so confused and I didn’t know what to do after. Later I found out that I should just divide the 336 with perfect squares to find the best number.

Overall

Mixed radical: 4√21

Entire radical: √336

A decimal to the nearest hundred: 18.33

Another example;

Hypotenuse 13 cm, leg 7 cm.

c2=13272

120 is dividable with 2

√4×√30=√120

4 would go outside the radical and 30 stay inside

Mixed radical= 2√30

A decimal to the nearest hundred=10.95 cm

Entire radical= √120

 

summary chapter 1

Simplify evaluate powers in parentheses and brackets.

  • 1. in step one we simplify the first numbers and power of to brackets or parentheses. for example: (*2²*+3)+(*4⁶*-6)
  • 2. we (+,×,÷,-) the numbers in the prantheses or brackets. for example:(*2+3*)+(*4+7*)
  • 3. we simplify the whole prantheses or brackets powers. for example =(2⁴+4)*³*+(5⁶+6⁷)*⁸*
  • 4. we simplify the powers. *12⁶*

5. we get the answer. 49+49= 98

 

fossil fuel burning

A climate change is a phenomenon that known that as greenhouse effect. burning fossil is one of the important effect of climate change. because it makes our earth warmer. When fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air. Greenhouse gases trap heat in our atmosphere, causing global warming. If this does not happen, the cold of the earth will cause lack of food, extinction of animals, freezing of plants and lack of oxygen for milions of peaple. Fossil fuels are formed from the decomposition of buried carbon-based organisms that died millions of years ago.

Most vehicles like cars, trucks, ships, and planes use fossil fuels, and this releases greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide. When we package and produce food, it also lets out carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases that trap heat. The carbon dioxide, which sticks around for a very long time, is a big reason behind global warming and climate change caused by human actions.

Effects of climate change

Climate change means the weather getting hotter or colder and less or more rain and snow. If we use a lot of fossil fuels, gases go into the air that cause these changes.

 

These changes can bring many problems. For example, temperatures can get higher, there can be less or more rain, and there can be more water in the oceans. These problems can affect the lives of sea creatures and even the land. ·Right now, climate changes are already causing harm to people and animals. If we don’t solve these problems, in the future, we might lose a lot of crops, more animals and plants could disappear, and different communities could face big problems.

Inquiry

I wanted make a guitar for my inquiry

I learned to sand paper small think and colore ir perfectly

My struggle for this was to make a such nice guitar shape with clay

my success was to color it and sandpaper it

my goal for next week was to doing good on next project
