TIP/HINTS

1.Share how you remember transformations. Do you have any tips or hints that help you to remember?
I had to answer this blog along time of go. The reason I did not answer it, was because I forgot how to do transformations. But know I found out how to do it. My friends form the Calculus class helped me remember how to do it. They told me that if I add or subtract a number to x, my graph would shift to the right or to the left.
For example
When you graph -ln(x+3) you have to move 3 units to the left. (At the begging of the class, I believed that I had to move 3 units to right because I was add 3 to x but I was wrong.)
The reason I remember that the graph should go either left or right is because my friends told me that I have to moves OPPOSITE way when you are add or subtract sign.

2. Share how you remember or understand trigonometry. Do you have any tips or hints that help you remember/memorize all those facts?
Ok I also did not know how to do trigonometry it took me time to memorize. But my friends help me memorize it. They told me that if I want to understand trigonometry I have to memorize the unit circle because it revolves around the unit circle. I am not going to lie to you but in took me 4 long days of study to remember the unit circle.
My tips/hints to memorize this stuff is to work in study groups. Make your study groups fun and make up games use the subject you are study about.

3. What still confuses you or worries you about trigonometry?
What still worries me is finding the zeros of the graph. My domain and range a little bit.

Algebra VS Calculus

1. What is the DIFFERENCE between finding the limit of a function at x=c and actually plugging in the number x=c? When are the two cases the SAME?
When you are try to find the limit at x=c you are also find the output and the value of f(x) when it gets closer to c. There could be holes at x=c, but for the limit to exist the hole has to be removable. This is calling a Removable Discontinuity.
The two cases are the same when the graph of the function is continuous.

2.What is the SIMILARITIES between finding the derivative and finding the slope of a line. What are the DIFFERENCES between the two?
The similarities between both of them is that you have to use the change y / the change x to find the slope.
The difference is that on the derivative you need to find the tangent line to find the secant line.

LIMITS!!!! ]='

LIMITS, some of the limits i do understand and i think i do good on it but some other limits just take me to the limit because I just don't understand it.

The limits I believe I do great on is when the lim x-c(x) =c, Limit of the identity function at x=c

The limits I do not get are the one-sided and two-sided limits from section 2.1 exercise problems 37 and 38.
The second problem I do not understand is number 26 from the chapter 2 review exercises.
The last problems I do not understand are number 27 and 28 from the chapter 2 review exercises. I didn’t understand because I don’t know how to find the vertical asymptotes of the graph of y=f(x)

Happy Thanks Giving

I hope you guys are eating alot of turkey, like me!

College...University.... 0=

What type of college will I like to go to will I am not positive? I am still thinking about it. However, one thing I am sure about is that I want to work in the medical field. And for that, I am going to need a lot of sciences. Well I was reading a website called nextSTEPmag.com and it give me nice information about some college and university to go to and how to major in Science, Nursing, or Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.

Grand Canyon University is a good place to get a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. The great things about this university is the hands on training, top quality health care simulations, low student-to-teacher ratio, and the undergraduate human dissection. Did you know that the average salary of nursing and health sciences is from $43,347 to $57,054.
About the Program: You can turn your associate in nursing into a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree with Grand Canyon University’s RN to BSN program.
Sample Classes: Family centered health promotion, concepts in community and public health.
Sample careers: Registered nurse, ER registered nurse, or register nurse.


The nestStepmag.com also showed me an other hot career. That career is called Bachelor Science in Computer Science. For that career, you will need a lot of technology. If you pick this career, your average salary will be $62,000. The best place to go and get this career is at Neumont University in South Jordan, Utah.
About the Program: You will be work on Hands-no projects, students will master in demand technologies like Java and .Net.
Sample classes: Java, Net, multimedia game and entertainment systems, management of project teams
Sample careers: Software developer, IT manager, Interface designer, systems analyst
Did you know: Neumont university offers a professionally focused B.S in Computer Science that can be completed in 2 ½ years. In final year, students will build real software solutions for industry leaders such as IBM ,eBay, Nike and Microsoft. The nestStepmag.com said that 94% of Neumont University gradates accept jobs within three moths of graduation

Things I Understood =)

The Unit Circle
The Unit Circle is one of the things I learned will in my calculus class
* The first thing you need to know is that the "Unit Circle" is just a circle with a radius of 1. The center is put on a graph where the x axis and y axis cross



Like the radius is 1, you can get measure in sine, cosine and tangent

* When the angle, θ is 0°
cos=1, sin=0 and tan=0

* when θ is 90°
cos=0, sin=1 and tan is undefined

This is how the unit circle.

The another thing, I learned was the domain and range. The frist things I thing you should know is that most points, being a relationship between certain x's and certain y's, is a relation. The domain is all the x-values, and the range is all the y-values.

Here is a example of finding the domain and range:

• {(2, –3), (4, 6), (3, –1), (6, 6), (2, 3)}

Domain: {2, 3, 4, 6}
Range: {–3, –1, 3, 6}

I also learned the one-to-one function. A one to one function is a function in which every element in the range of the function corresponds with one and only one element in the domain.

Example of a one-to-one function:
{ (0,1) , (5,2), (6,4) }
Domain: 0, 5, 6
Range: 1,2, 4

Each element in the domain (0, 5, and 6) correspond with a unique element in the range. Therefore this function is a one-to-one function

EVEN AND ODD FUNCTIONS

DEFINITION OF EVEN AND ODD FUNCTIONS
Even functions
If you let f(x) be a real-valued function of a real variable. Then you will get a equation that has the follow: f(−x) = f(x) (for all the real number of x ).
Even function graphs are always symmetrical with the y-axis.
Examples of even functions are x^2, x^4, x^6, cos(x) [even function includes only even powers]

Example use the cos (x):
f(-x) = -cos7(-x)
-cos (-7x)
-cos7x
f(-x) = f(x)

Example of graphs for Even Functions:

Odd Functions Again, let f(x) be a valued function of a real variable. Then if f is odd you will get the following equation: f(-x) = -f(x) (for all real numbers of x).
The odd function's graph is always be symmetric to the origin. Examples of odd functions are x, x^3, x^9, sin(x) [odd function includes only odd powers]

Example use sin (x):
f(-x) = sin (-3x)
-sin(3x)
f(-x) = -f (x)

Examples of graphs for Odd Functions:

I am just joking! OK, as you can see I love to play and said jokes to people so be wear of me. Ahhhhh! JUST PLAY! Well I am a girl that try really hard to get good grade at school and make a lot of friend as possible. I like to by around people because I like to talk a lot. That why at school I am in so many different clubs. I am in the Girl’s Soccer Team, Students Run L.A. , Student, 11Th Grade Council, California Scholarship Federation, Human Efforts Aimed At Relating Together, and Early Bird life Opportunities. WOW! Those are a lot of clubs. Well you have learned a little bit about me, I hope so? Well I have to go, see you guys i class. NOT DO DRUGS! =) BYE! =)
