Horizontal Translation of Logarithmic Functions

-- Formulae: -> g(x) = logb (x + c) -> g(x) = logb (x - c)

-- g(x) = logb (x + c) shifts the graph of f(x) = logb (x) to the left c units and moves the vertical asymptote to x = -c

-- g(x) = logb (x - c) shifts the graph of f(x) = logb (x) to the right c units and moves the vertical asymptote to x = c

have a math quiz tmrw might cry (or disappear into the woods for an undisclosed amount of time)

funniest part is that math is my favorite subject 🥲

[mothric]

You're right that if you did just find the sum of all the little dx bits you would just get x, but if you imagine a graph y=f(x), and you want to find the area underneath that line, you split it into lots of little rectangles of width dx then add them together. It's the sum of every y value along that line multiplied by dx. -Sooty

hello sooty my cool friend sooty

I wish I could nod and say "oh I see!" but alas, the introduction of graphs and the letter y has only deepened my confusion. I think I might sort of understand what I'm meant to be visualizing if I squint really hard? but I haven't been in any sort of math class for 10 years and my exposure to a math class with graphs (precalculus) was even longer ago, so it's not your fault lol. I appreciate the attempt to help!

[song-tam]

i am absolutely one hundred percent going to completely bomb this math test holy shit. i hate you trigonometry i hate you graphing i hate you proofs i hate you precalculus. i dont hate the unit circle though the unit circle has never done anything bad for me

[infinitelytheheartexpands]

since i am at home and have access to my yearbooks, it is now time for the roundup of “some of my favorite quotes from people’s yearbook signatures”, a non-exhaustive list:

2010-11 (3rd grade):

-“have a great summer savvanah”—kid in my class who spelled my name wrong lmao

2011-12 (4th grade):

-“your the most legendary person i have ever met”—one of my besties to this day

2012-13 (5th grade):

-“when the world looks down on you, give them 5 and a half reasons to look up at you. you are brilliant. you are a good person. never lose that. never stop dominating.” —one of the then-high school juniors for some reason (i got signatures and messages from SEVERAL juniors and seniors that year for some reason lmao)

-“too bad”—a kid in my class

*could not find 2013-14 :(*

2014-15 (7th grade):

-“stay cool and rock on with those dance moves and work on skating”—another kid who was in our production of xanadu, where i successfully campaigned with the director to not make everyone rollerskate because some of us (myself included) could not rollerskate

-“the cat whiskers come from within”—a girl in the grade below me with whom i am still buddies

-“you are the smartest person i know and don’t let anyone take that away from you”—my now IRL best friend, the first year after he moved to our school, and this was even though at the time we were in the middle of an INTENSE academic rivalry that put a damper on our friendship for a while

2015-16 (8th grade):

-every single kid who wrote HAGS!!! (have a great summer) because it’s funny <3

-“you have been happy when i have been sad so uh…thanks for always cheering me up with just a smile”—a kid in the grade below me

-“savannah, it is really fun having you in the class and i hope we got the party started for you every english class!”—the same kid who spelled my name wrong in 3rd grade; every day at the start of english class i’d say “let’s get this party started!”

2016-17 (9th grade):

-“…you’ll have to come check in and draw me more memes!”—my 9th grade history teacher, context being that she pitted all the kids in my grade against each other in a year-long history meme war and i, being a dumbass, did not know how to make memes online using generators and shit, so i HAND DREW all of my memes on her board and she would take pictures for my entries (for the record: i did not win)

-“this is a good yearbook. you are a good person. have a good summer.”—one of my guy friends in my class

-“we’re gonna need you in quiz bowl. also how is this handwriting.”—another guy in my class; the reference to the handwriting was because we had to proofread each other’s handwritten essay drafts in english class and i straight up could not read like half of his and he got PISSED as a result

2017-18 (10th grade):

-“dear savannah, have a great summer! read lots of books and eat lots of food because those things make you happy and happiness is great.”—one of my friends in my class, also that is sound advice

-“*sine graph* there, i sined it.”—my precalculus teacher

-“i am ‘cosining’ it.”—the same kid who wrote the handwriting comment the previous year; written directly under the previous signature

-“savannah, mashed potatoes…”—the bestie who wrote the “legendary” comment in 4th grade; the whole message was much longer but we had an inside joke going about how i’m super-picky about my mashed potatoes lol

2018-19 (11th grade):

-“you are just the sweetest little ol’ thang”—one of my friends in my class

-“thanks for making this a great year. you’ve always been so nice to me. never forget that no matter what, you have a good heart, don’t forget that!”—one of the seniors that year; we were in all the musicals and choir together for a few years

-“stay frosty! your joy for life is special, don’t ever let anyone diminish it. change the world.”—a beloved history teacher who moved away after that school year

*no signatures for 2019-20 because COVID :(*

Joyce was feeling paranoid in her room, which was on the second story. Her walls were coated with the hottest of pinks and covered in various art pieces which spelled out the way that she felt throughout the years. Mostly paintings of flowers and landscapes, she appreciated the complexity of flowers. As she looked down she saw the work put before her. A study sheet,  for her precalculus final, which was to take place in a couple of days, and beside it, her Adderall. She opened the box of pills and inside there were none. She closed it again. 

She checked the locks on her door and her windows and made sure there was no chance that her isolation could be broken, and then she checked the box again. Still nothing. She got out her phone and began looking at Snapchat, which was her preferred method of getting more pills. She hadn’t had one all day and it was getting a little hard for her to focus. She texted her dealer, Rufio, and waited for a response. While she was waiting she checked the pill box again. Still nothing. 

Rufio responded complaining about the late hour that she was asking him to deliver. He said he would do it, but only if he got a $10 delivery fee in return. Joyce agreed and Rufio was on his way. 

Outside Joyce’s window was a slanted roof which gave way to a sort of pathway that could be taken to the ground. It was a dangerous way to have the house set up when they were kids, but it was very convenient now that she used it to sneak out. She saw Rufio’s car at the gate and unlocked the window. She grabbed $110 and put it in her back pocket, and opened up her window, climbing out and making her way to the ground, where she would begin to run toward Rufio and open the gate. She got in the passenger seat of his car and held the money in her hand. The deal was made and she went back to her room. 

She dumped the bag of pills into her box, took out three, and began crushing them. She didn’t bother to look at the dosage of the pills before beginning her routine. She crushed them up in a dime bag that she’d been using and reusing for 2 years now, which was coated all throughout the inside with a fine particulate that couldn’t be retrieved except with water. She dumped the powder out onto a hand mirror and snorted it using a piece of a plastic straw. 

She began to study with her newfound energy. She was starting to get better at making her graphs, which was good because that’s kind of what calculus is all about. She was finished with the tenth problem when she decided that she’d reward herself with more Adderall.

Why I'm learning Blender

In mathematics, we often work in detail with shapes and lines. We analyze slopes, intercepts, and confined areas in order to create a mathematical picture. Because of this, from the second we start to teach mathematics, we use images and graphs. To show that the sum of two and three is five, we might draw a representation of the numbers as cookies or apples. To show that the slope of a parabola at its vertex is zero, we might plot some points and connect the dots.

As a senior in college studying mathematics, I have found myself drawing countless graphs and diagrams of the shapes and formulas I have been working on. Even when dealing with abstract concepts, I use a combination of colors and points to explain what is happening. When tutoring precalculus, my first method of explaining a concept is always a drawing.

Bettina Rosken and Katrin Rolka did research through the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, that shows the importance of visualization in mathematics regarding calculus. They state that “visualization allows for reducing complexity when dealing with a multitude of information,” (Bettina and Rolka 458). Being able to see a graph and label every important point allows students to keep their work clear and concise. The authors, however, make a point that a drawing or representation of the mathematical concept only does so much; a mathematical model cannot stand by itself without an understanding of what it is and its rules.

While math is best learned in a classroom, Blender, a 3D modeling program, can be one of those tools that can help assist in understanding concepts outside of class time. As much time as I can spend on drawing a graph of a 3D shape like a donut, more commonly known in the math world as a torus, if I can instead learn a program that allows me to hold two keys down and click through some interface to place a torus into a world, then I can push my understanding of mathematics even further in less time.

And that is what I have done. So far, I have spent time learning how to place shapes, edit the world around them, and their materials. While I will not need to necessarily be able to create a sphere that is reflective in order to understand a math problem, the more I understand the entire interface and abilities of Blender, the better I will be able to use it. Understanding both what to use and what not to will allow me in the future to focus further on the mathematical side of this program and how I could have used it in the courses I have taken. This week, the final project I made was a lighthouse on a rock with some small houses around it. I learned how to sculpt different shapes, create different light sources, and assign different colors to different faces. All of this was thanks to Grant Abbitt’s course on Udemy with GameDev, titled Complete Blender Creator: Learn 3D Modeling for Beginners.

The benefits of the primary school math tutor abu dhabi

The maths program has many benefits. It can help students learn important skills and concepts, and it can help them develop a better understanding of maths. The program can also help students prepare for important exams, and it can help them improve their maths skills.

The structure of the math program

The math program at our school is structured in a way that is meant to challenge students and help them learn at their own pace. There are three levels of math classes, starting with basic math and progressing to more difficult concepts. To move to the next level, students must demonstrate that they have learned the material in the previous class.

This system allows students to progress as they learn and also allows them to retake classes if they need more time to master the content. Moving up to the next level can be tough, but it is very rewarding when students can accomplish it. One of the benefits of this system is that it allows students to progress at their own pace. Some students may be able to move up to the next level after just one semester, while others may need more time to learn the material. This flexibility helps ensure that all students can learn in a way that works best for them.

Another benefit of this system is that it allows students to retake classes if they need more time to master the content. This can be helpful if students struggle with a particular concept or need more practice to feel confident in their skills. Students need to be able to master the material in each class so that they can move on to the next level.

How to get started with the maths program

This chapter will briefly overview how to get started with the maths program. First, open the program and select the mathematics level you would like to work on. There are various levels available, from basic arithmetic to calculus. Next, select the type of exercise you would like to do. Again, various exercises are available, from essential addition and subtraction to solving equations. Finally, choose the specific exercise you would like to do. The program will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to complete the exercise. There are also several tools available to help you with your maths. For example, the calculator can help you with basic arithmetic, and the graph tool can be used to plot graphs and solve equations.
