Author Topic: what kind of math are you doing right now  (Read 2470 times)

Learning addition right now, it's tough stuff man

i haven't been in a math class since 10th grade

i dont pay attention in my algebra 2 class in the slightest, still pass with like a B cause the teacher is cool

None

and I couldn't be happier

right now we're doing exponential growth and decay, it's pretty simple
decay
y=n(r-1)t
growth
y=n(r+1)t

What the forget? y = nr2 -2nr + n is not the equation for exponential decay. Exponential decay is y = a*bx where 0 < b < 1.

just finished limits in calculus

I'm re-taking Calculus I because I was not satisfied with my score. Going over dumb review over identifying functions and doing difference quotients right now since we just started on Monday.

f(x+h) - f(x)
        h

f(x) - f(a)
   x - a

multivariable calculus

we are reviewing taylor polynomials right now, presumably to expand upon them

pre-ap algebra 2, currently working on rational reciprocal function families


Finished Differential Equations (Calc IV) a few semesters ago.

calc doing basic differential equations for ln and log functions


What the forget? y = nr2 -2nr + n is not the equation for exponential decay. Exponential decay is y = a*bx where 0 < b < 1.
then what the forget were we doing then because that's how we were solving the decay problems
y = nr2 -2nr + n
wait wait wait where are you getting this

we solve the problems by being given a starting number and a percent, put the starting number for the n and then putting the percent in a decimal. so it'd be like
y=4000(1-.045)t
y=4000(.955)t
y=3381.49

atleast that's how i think it works, i'll have to look at my notes again to make sure

Pre-AP Geometry. Last thing we did was 3 days ago, I forgot if it was Angles of Elevation/Depression or the Laws of Sines/Cosines.
