The side side angle is ambiguous due to the fact that it can be used in any non right triangle. The side side angle comes in handy when trying to solve the whole triangle in order to see how many different triangles can be made. We cannot use law of sins with the given information because you need to first use Side Side Angle in order to find the height to see if you can even get a triangle out of it, or in some cases more than one triangle. If i were to try and explain this to other people using simple math terms I would use diagrams with first saying, that you will need to use the information given to first find the height to find it the side you are given is the right length to make a triangle.
From this activity i learned the different ways that you can muniltiplate a trig function and what the different trig values are. I also learned that you dont have to start with an equals to the equation you can just solve it anyway you want and in the end after you muniplulate it based on the trig values and what they equal you can make what it is equal too.
The biggest challenge for me at first was finding the values in radians on the unit circle, that is the major key to being able to find values and answers. I used the conversion to get to degrees to find where points are. But after a while I started to remember where they were by their radian form.This activity helped me see how the Cartesian plane and the unit circle are linked. When you are finding a angle on the Circle you are also finding it on the plane. During the assessment I handled not having help from the teacher by, knowing the values on the circle and then also knowing that the radius of the circle is 1 unit. It was also useful knowing the Rise/run equals Sin/cos. To finish the problem without the teacher it was helpful knowing soh cah toa, along with csc, sec and cot. The biggest takeaway I got from this is how they are linked and how you get the same answer from using the plane or the circle.
A radian is a unit of measurement for angles, It is translatable to the measurement degrees. A radian is relatable to the unit circle due to the fact that it is a unit that measures angles. If you have to radius's that go to two separate points on the unit circle there will be a angle formed in the center that you can use radians to measure it with. The formula for circumference which is one full revolution is 2piR while in radians one full revolution is 2pi. Personally i prefer to use degrees due to the fact that degrees is more familiar to me so it is more natural than using radians. However, I do believe that using the unit of radians is more mathematically pure.
The formula for annual compound interest is A=P(1+r/n)^nt where A is the future value of the loan. P is the amount that you first put in. R is the annual interest rate. N is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and T equals the length of the loan/investment. If you were saving money. For college then this would be a good way to go but if you were taking money out as a loan then you would end up paying more. A government subsidized loan is money that The government will give you if you're eligible it is almost like financial aid. Bank won't you take out of the bank and every month they charge you interest on you how much you take out based on a percentage so in the end you end up paying more based on how much you take out and how long it takes you to pay it back. You would take out 20,000 dollars for the total four years. It could take any amount of time depending on the rate you agree to pay it back.
The moon is roughly 15 billion inches away from earth and the paper that we used is .005 inches thick, the number of folds it would take to reach the moon would be 1.5 times 10 to the 10. This is unrealistic due to the fact that paper cannot be folded that many times. To find this answer I made the thickness of the paper.005 times two to the nth power equal to 15 billion which roughly how far away the moon is.
Things that i learned from this activity are that even functions have symmetry across the y axis while odd functions have symmetry across the x axis. I also learned that just because it is a function that it does not have to be an even or odd it can be neither. They are different in the way that if f is an even function then f(-x) = f(x) while, if g is an odd function then f(-x) = -f(x) . to determine if a function y=f(x) is even, odd or neither Replace x with -x and compare the result to f(x). If f(-x) = f(x), the function is even. If f(-x) = - f(x), the function is odd. After doing this assignment i learned that their can be functions that can be neither but now i wonder if a function can be both odd and even.
This graph represents a exponential function. The domain of this exponential function would be all real numbers while the range of this function would be y>0. The problem with this graph going forever is evenetualy the sales will level off. So the graph will not continue to grow at the rate it is.
I can tell that this shot will go in due to the fact that the quadratic graph shows the ball falling through the hoop.
My original idea for the prediction was close to the real graph slope and overall appearance was very similar. The thing that I did not account for in my prediction is that the skateboard will go backwards when it stops moving forward so in my prediction the graph just levels out and time goes on but the skateboard does not move.Where in the actual graphs the skateboard goes backwards and the curve comes back down towards the x axis. The zeros in the graph represent where the skateboard is at Zero feet. The difference in the three graphs are the minimum and maximum the maximum y value is in the graph of the skateboard being let go for 21 Feet the reason is due to the fact that it has the most momentum to go the furthest. The zeros are all the same in the three graphs because the measurement started at 0 feet for all three.When the graphs slope is rising the fastest that means that it is falling the fasting which is due to the momentum of the skateboard which comes from falling from a higher height. When the graph is falling the fastest it means that it is going backwards quickly towards the Zero.
