Logarithms continued...

Today Mr. Maksymchuk continued teaching us about logarithms. Here are the notes and the recordings. Remember that this Friday is the take home test.

Product law of logarithms

On Monday, May 30th Mr. Maksymchuk taught us about the product law of logarithms, Which is:
Log base of a (M*N) = Log base of a (M) +Log base of a (N)
Log base of a (M/N) = Log base of a (M) - Log base of a (N)

ALMOST OVER

In class today it has been made official we are almost near the end of the year! WHOO!! Right now the class has moved onto LOG and if you want to learn any information or easy ways go to this site www.math40s.com, have fun, and good luck with what is left of the semester!

Sinusoidal Functions Continued

Today in class we continued to learn about sinusoidal functions.

Periodic Functions

Today Mr. Maksymchuck started teaching us about periodic functions. I'm not totally sure what all of these notes and recording means but here it is.

This is how you do it on your calculator^^.

It's Friday!

Math Research Project

I plan to do my research project on the pen and paper RPG of Dungeons & Dragons. Is Dungeons & Dragons really as bad as all the Multimedia sources say?

Today Mr. Maksymchuk taught us about restricted response, restricted responce with exeption, and open responce questions. He showed us how to make a spread sheet to answer certain questions. (ps. the images below have been put in reverse order from the way they should so read from bottom to top, The video was lost before it finished uploading.)

Volume of a Hot Tub/ "Spa"

Hot Tub/ "Spa" Question

First question of the day.

-What's the difference between a cake and a spa? You can't eat it-Zack.

Mr. biggmaxx wanted us to find the answers to assignment 2 question B, part A, B, and C and answer them in cubic feet and cubic inches.

Important Question for part A; Should we vinyl the bottom of the spa?

Well make an assumption

Assume NO vinyl of the bottom.

We need to remember that there is four inches all the way around the outside of the spa. Remember that the height of the Spa isn't 3'6'' for the bottom is four inches thick making the height 3'10'.

Watch out for the 19 minute mark. Biggmaxx started quoting Lord of the Rings.

For those who didn't do the homework do part B) & part C).

Measurements

Today the class has started to touch on the subject of our reports on our projects and when we must show them to Mr.Maksymchuk as well as the fact the class will be working on our projects every Wednesday; and measurements, and Mr. Maksymchuk showed that we can use Excel as a fast and efficient way to solve problems concerning measurement and the class was assigned a question from a booklet listed under Assignment 2; Question 1; A.

Mutually Exclusive/Mutually Inclusive

Today we learnt how to do Mutually Inclusive/Exclusive probability. Mr. Maks went over a set of questions in our review book, questions 12, 13, 15 are for home work on Monday. Probability test next Wednesday.

Trick 3

Today we were shown the 3rd trick, regarding probability.

serving size and caffine content is the serving

Mr Max tought us how to do the FCP( Fundamental Counting Principals) How many ways to do things, a thing. He showed us how to do Factional issues, and Perms and Coms. He showed us how to do problems on notation issues, Permutation Prototype and the perm formula using our calculators.

Expected Value

Research Project Stuff

This link takes you to the provincial government's outcomes, re: Research Project Expectations. Your project needs to be unique, personal, mathematical, & specifically sharable with the rest of the world. I.e. you will be publishing it to the web in some fashion.

Read the requirements.... here

You'll have to navigate inside the .pdf file to the part that talks about the learning outcomes for RESEARCH PROJECT, specifically.

Watch This Some Time...

Test Today

* Show work for full marks.

* New Formula:

Equity = Value of House - Unpaid Balance

Effective Annual Interest Rate Calculator

For those of us who dont know how to calculate effective annual interest rates, some nice person made a calculator for us!

Effective Annual Interest Rate calculator

Lower on the page the formula for finding effective rate is stated as;

r = [ (1+i/n)^n ] - 1

so if you had a nominal rate of 11% being compounded semi-annually, your formula would be [(1+.11/2)^2]-1 which equals .113025, which when multiplied by 100 is 11.3%.

Case Study #1 & #2

Today in class Mr.Max went over case studies 1 & 2 with us to show how to do them properly.

Leasing vs. Buying

Today we learned what a lease is, the difference between lease and purchase deals, and also the advantages and disadvantages of leasing and buying.

Heads Up!

For those of you whom are working on accelerated math this is a helpful video for knowing how to do effective annual interest and nominal interest!

Gross Debt Service Ratio

Today we learnt about GDSR, Or Gross Debt Service Ratio

Basically, it answers the question "Can I afford to live here?"

It is a measure of financial well being only associated with housing

GDSR formula is GDSR = (Monthly Mortgage + Monthly Heating Costs + Monthly Property Tax) divided by ( monthly Gross household income) then you multiply all that by 100.

Your GDSR should NEVER exceed 32%

Mr. Max gave us an assignment to find out whether or not John can afford to buy a home, what the cost of the most expensive home he should be shopping for is, and, if he buys this home, how much interest he'd pay in the first year.

He also gave us a second case study, which is to do question #14 on the handout he gave us earlier.

Reminder: We have a test Tuesday
