Today we had 50 mintues to discuss three more topics for the exam Monday morning.
PROBAILITY
-pathway problems ( Pascal's Triangle )
-FCP & Perms & coms
nPr nCr
-multually exclusive
-independent----- sample spaces-----
--- tree diagrams---
formulas p(a or b) P(a)+P(b)

DESIGN/MEASUREMENT
-design within parameters
size--cost
-1-D 2-D 3-D
1-d--- length,distance,perimeter,circumference
2-d--- SHAPES
3-d--- cube,cylinder,prism,cone
-converstion of units within systems
metric 2D also 3D
*TIPS*
-whole until purchasing
-start somewhere
-make assumptizons

APPLICATIONS OF PERIODIC FUNCTIONS
y=a.sin(bx+c)+d
RADIAN MEASURE(MODE!)
get y=2.sin(3x-T)+4
L1 0 1 2 3 4
L2 26 14 -3 10 30
-- "SinReg"
L1,L2,Y
y=a>sin(bx+c)+d
a=
b=
c=
d=

EXAM IS MONDAY MORNING STARTING AT 9:00 AM

review matricies, correcting homework

We started off the class today talking about the provincial math exam and what to do if you are wanting to go to the funeral on monday. What Mr.maks had concluded was to just go. You can finish that part of the exam another day it just won't be considered a provincial mark anymore. Check to see if you need a provincial mark on your transcrips to get into post secondary school. Talk to mr.maks about it if you want more information.

Then we corrected our homework. The multiple choice and question five and then reviewed.

Review of the exam

Things to know about Matrix Modelling:
-matrix operations and vocabulary +, -, x, x rules
-matrix multiplication (two-finger) helps you avoid nonsense
-transition matricies, n x n ROW matricies, "1 sum" , understand transition diagrams, STABILITY
[B] x [A] ^ n
[B] x [A]^(n+1)
-two-way networks, symmetry across a diagnol <--->
-one-way networks -----> EXACTLY, ATLEAST, AT MOST
[A], [A]^2, [A]^3, etc..

Scribe Post January 11, 2010.


Today we started going over what to expect on the exam that will take place exactly a week from this morning, on January 18th and 19th. There is a page below further explaining both days of the exam. After that we began correcting question 2 of the booklet we were given last week on sinusoidal (periodic) functions.
This Page below shows our homework for the day.

Thursday, January 7, 2010




We have been assigned question 2 for homework by nine tommorow morning. Also, sin reg is stat, calc, sin reg, l1, l2, y1(vars, y thingy, y function.)

January 6 2010

Today was our first day learning about Periodic Functions, we were taught that a periodic function is a never ending repetitive sequence. A perfect example of this is an EKG.

Exam Prep

Mr. Max told us today that we can get free marks if we create a math study schedule. The schedule has to fit around our own personal schedules with work, etc. and have time written in for studying. Each of the units have to be covered by the exam on the 18th. It has to be completed by tomorrow.

*Where it says 2nd, that means it is written on the 2nd day. There are only 2 units on the 1st day, Design/Measurement and Applications of Periodic Functions.

Confidence Intervals

We have 2 weeks left of class before we have to take our Inquirey Test. The test will take place on the 18th(monday) and the 19th(tuesday). We will finish our statistics unit today and tomorrow.

We corrected the binomial questions(1-12). To figure out when to use binomcdf( and binompdf( , look for clues in the question. If a question asks for an exact answer the use pdf. If a question asks for a range of numbers that's when you use cdf. If you're wondering how to get to cdf and pdf turn on your calculator and press [2nd] then [vars]. Go to the bottom of the list and they're right beside each other. To use these apps put in the total number of trials in the first spot. Put a comma next and put in the probability. Put in another comma and put in the number you want to figure out the probability of getting.
