CONICS AND MORE CONICS!!!!!!!!!!!

We have been learning a heck of a lot about conics. so thats where ive been lately...learning about conics, or cawnics in mr max's case. anyways yes yesterday we learned about how to graph conics and such. i think i get it. we'll see how much i understand by the time the test comes around. conics seem to be easy though and i like it so far.

i just realized somehting, and im gonna remind myself so i dont feel so bad...my goal on tests is to do increasingly better, and i got 43% on my last test, and 42% on the test before that. haha. so all isgood. im improving. awesome.

No name

Bracelet, table, necklace, wow. i thought they were the same, apparently not. As i found out when we did our little table experiment in the cafeteria, watch out for the rotten fruit...kristin, and i also found out if we sat on our heads we'd be the same as a bracelet. bracelets move around but not people around tables.

Perms and Coms examples

We did more examples of factorials, and the fundamental counting principle, and its great. so far so good. i got 43% on the test, and that seems to be my average im beginngin to like accelerated math because it is making me have a 67 in the class. yay. it is a good thing. i got to do the question on perms for the test tomorrow. so thats where ill be, bye

PERMUTATIONS AND COMBINATIONS

Wanna hear the summary of perms and coms. here we go...
PERMS:
big number
order matters
nPr=n!/(n-r)!
COMS:
small number
order doesnt matter
nCr=n!/(n-r)(r)!
That about sums it up.

BOBBIE BEAR

I learned probability yes i did. this was in a way just jogging our memory from grade 9 but we also learned a new kind of formula. (K)(L)(M)
This is called the fundemental counting principle.
Wanna learn something else...ok you convinced me...
FACTORIAL NOTATION its this thing that if you have 4! means (4)(3)(2)(1) and ya it really just equals 24. i really dont feel like writing about this anymore so bye.

LOGARITHMIC WORD PROBLEMS

45 mins later and i should have learned how to do some word problems of decay and growth but i really dont think i have. we learned some new formulas...i dont like them i dont understand them and i AM going to have some trouble using them. joy. grrrr not having fun. not at all.
