Decimals are waaay better than fractions!!

Hey Guys this is Vince. Sorry about writing this really late.
Just got home at 9:00PM and boy is it cold outside :).

There's no new lessons, just some new techniques at graphing Quadratic Functions.

Quad Function Formula:


where:
h = x-axis movement (if it's [+] move to the left and [-] to the right)
k = y-movement.
* we can easily determine the vertex point by using (h,k)


If given an equation for example;
The vertex would be (-4,4) then pick reasonable numbers besides the vertex, do table of values, plug-in numbers to x in the equation to get the y value, then graph. Then you're done :)

He also gave out some new handouts for today containing... >> FRACTIONS!! <<(Highlight) yeap.. If you're having a hard time with fractions it's really helpful if you convert it to decimals. I think... Sooo... That's the new technique he thought us for today. Also! He also made groupings for the "Principia Mathematica Project" which is located:
"Here!"

Helpful Reminders:
Wiki Assignment - Deadline: Feb 22nd
Louis Riel (NO CLASSES!!) - Feb 21st *2 DAYS LEFT!*


LINKS:
The Example 3 Lessons Yesterday is updated you can find that "Here!" it's on page 6.
I don't think he remembered to put the today's samples up so... yeah...


-K That's all folks
Vince :))
