Hey Mr Cman, what is up fam? I'm back with a whole new thing on your super cool calculus class and we went over something totally radical this week called limits, of course there are no limits to the radicalness of your cool class.
Now onto a more serious note, what happened this week was we finished the stupid prerequisites unit and the test and I thought ‘wow we are finally doing calculus, which is what this flibbity class is about hence the title (yes I know the prerequisites was a needed thing, I just need to add word count lmpo)’ and now we go onto another prerequisite on limits which I remember from last year that they weren’t that bad. In fact I actually started remembering how limits worked throughout the lesson you put us through, I am going to be completely honest though and tell you i didn't really like the worksheet sorry. We also worked on a desmos app that was about finding limits graphically and making our own and drawing conclusions which was kinda fun to do tbh, it's always fun to play with graphs, doncha think Mr. C. I mean that's the real question here, not how I feel about it, but how you feel about my feeling about it and how you'll change because of it. If I had to state the biggest thing I didn't like about this week, it would probably have to be the paper worksheet you gave us because I felt like I didn't really need it and I remembered limits much much better when you were giving a lesson about it than when you gave the stupid worksheet that I didn't understand half of tbh lmpo. And now I've run out of things to say..sorry, actually wait the trump joke was kinda funny but you should try making some more oc jokes than it because there's just so much you can make fun of with trump because he's an idiot who is the reason we should have intelligence tests for people running for president. Sorry that was off topic but it was something I remembered from this week; and now I think I'm all out so I will bid you adieu. See ya Mr C and hope you had a fun weekend PS. Please don't make us do one for homecoming week, I will give you a big bag of something that I don't think you're allergic too, are cashews good?

Okay hey there Mr. Cresswell here is the completely absolutely 100% exciting testament of this week in calculus for me and I have such a long story of hope and adventure and funny moments to tell you, in fact I think I’ll start right now. We did absolutely nothing new this week. Wow wasn’t that such an exciting perilous story right there. All we did was work on a super fun worksheet that really got my noggin joggin and I must say that I guess summer really got to me because I remembered absolutely nothing, which was just such a fun experience. Oh yeah, and we went through the syllabus and have to write this even more fun blog post, which is just peachy. I’d say that my participation was pretty good because I worked on the worksheet, what else was I supposed to do tbqfatwyhf (to be quite fair and truthful with you honestly fam.) On the bright side I think I understand the syllabus quite well as we went very in depth on it. Now I know what the question of the day is and it’s ‘how did you enjoy this week Patrick’ it’s the same stuff as every teacher wants to know so they can tweak it and try to make it better for next year; but here’s the truth, it’s the first week of school, everyone is going to hate it no matter what you do unless you want your students to be horribly under-prepared for next week like we would've been if it wasn't for that god awful worksheet and the probably god awful test we’re going to have on it on Monday (probably Tuesday because the class will try to stall it and I might help, just a heads up lmpo, laughing my posterior off, because I know that if I swore in this you would probably give me a zero tbqftwyhf.) So to sum it all up so you won’t fail me for not having cohesive thoughts, this week was kinda boring and horrible, but it always will be no matter what you do because it’s the beginning of the year and no one wants summer to end and you’ve got to do boring stuff like syllabuses and refresher packets and tests, but I know it will be better this coming week once the train starts rolling. And so comes the first first assignment of your calculus class done by your favorite student ever, Patrick Ronan. Have a nice night PS: I promise that this being turned in on time will start a trend of me actually turning in assignments on time. Me after I figured out I could do Cresswell's Cool Calc Class
Well hello there again blog readers around the country reading my glorious essay.
Ok. So I just realized I never actually publushed this post just an fyi lmao (informal slang tor 'laughing my a$$ off for those of you more educated than I. Anyways, thank you for reading this blog post because you will learn about an exciting topic and I feel a little bit less lonely while I cry myself to sleep at night, but I digeess like always, this post will be about the topic of the unit circle and what I have learnt on it from Mr. Zach Cresswell. The unit circle is an actually quite simple triginometric concept which allows for the projection of radians and right triangles on a circle along with degrees that is usefull for when you really get into Calculus and Trigonometry It's usefullness can be seen by its projection onto an actually useful object known as a coordinate plane. because of the fact that cos(x),sin(x) is equal to x,y on the coordinate plane. Now using this information you can use the construction of right triangles on the unit circle and graph them out on the coordinate plain which has many more constructive uses. So that should be just about the end of this blog post...wait here's a picture of the unit circle just for kicks and meeting image requirments that you definitly don't set for me and I make myself from my own determination.
Now that you've seen the amazing work of art that is my assignment right above me. Let me explain it. So if you haven't looked at it yet, then look at it otherwise you will be lost and I will probably laugh at you, or I would if I knew. But too much digression there, I'll just move on now.
Okay. Now what I did was I looked at two seemingly unrelated trig symbols and used several identity functions and modified identities to morph them into the same symbols on both sides. Jeez, wasn't that quick now. But it was short and to the point just the way I like it. And I couldn't really think of anything else to add. Actually wait, what I have learnt from this project is the malleability of trig ratios and their morph-ability (might've just made up a word, but who cares, I'm assuming you are intellegent enough to get it which will certainly help me with the more theoretical parts of calculus that could even start in pre-calculus So I feel like I should start off with a little disclaimer on this one. I had no idea what the, if you'll excuse my vulgarity, hell I was doing for about 90% of this. So it may seem a little bit off but I just wanted to get this done and out o the way, it has just been a stressful week and all I want to do now is just drink peppermint hot chocolate and sleep 5ever to use some slang there. Ya get it because for sounds like 4 and I wanted to emphasize so I replaced it with the number above 4. Aw never-mind, let us just get done with this and move onto the actual point
Now the first way we're going to start with is when you take a subsidized governmental loan. Now the difference between a subsidized and subsidized loan is that subsidized loans don't increase while you are in college, so let's assume you are a good student and don't work throughout all 4 years of college and now you're out of college with 20K on your back and you get a minimum wage job in Michigan. That would bring in a total of around 540$ after taxes (taken from the good rule of thumb that 20% of your pay will be lost due to taxes) and groceries. From there, if you pay off your loans in the recommended 10 years. Then you will be paying a total of about 205$ on a monthly basis which leaves you with about 335$ of money you can use to spend on clothes, entertainment, beer, and other more illegal things I probably shouldn't state in a public blog post.
Now let's move onto the next type of loans, unsubsidized government loans. Now as this one racks up interest in college and you're still the good boy that just studies in college to get that degree. You will now end up with a total post-collegiate debt of somewhere in the ballpark of 24,674$ in loans to pay off. Now fear not, if you still get that super prosperous minimum wage jib and do everything you did before, you'll only lose about 80$ in the switch leaving you still with 253$ left to purchase things other than food. So you will still be pretty well off despite the fact that you have debt on your back And now we get to the matter of private loans. But you know what, I have something to say about private loans. Don't do them if you can get it all done with government loans. Because companies, no matter how much, apologies for the vulgarity, bs they say about caring about you. They don't care about you, they really only care about making money. So no matter what the contract says it is about their amazingly cheap student loans, there will always be that fine lining that will screw you over for the rest of your life making you a slave to the company because of the rampant corporatism that plagues modern America and the motto of 'greed is, for lack of a better word, good' to quote 'Wall Street,' great movie by the way you should watch it if you haven't already. But my main point is that we don't even need to talk about private loans in this because you could easily get all of this funded by a government loan which will not screw you over and make you a slave to corporations for the rest of your living life. I believe that is all I have to say on this so goodnight reader. You see this beautiful thing right here. It's called the moon in case you're not exactly smart enough to know kindergarten astronomy. Now what we're going to do today is talk about how many folds of paper it takes to get to the moon. See guys, real life application of mathematics like your math teacher always said. I mean won't this just be the next groundbreaking mathematics discover that will change life as we know it forever and cure cancer or some other stuff using more vulgar words to emphasize my sarcasm in this being one of the MANY real life applications of 'super fun' mathematics. Sorry rant over now, the next paragraph will have a bit more of an objective sense to it. Okay if you actually read that last paragraph of rants and stuff about this. Then you would realize that I'm going to now get to the point of talking about how many folds it would take to get to the moon. Now from the activity we did before this blog post that you should know about, otherwise I think you went across the wrong weebsite (see what I did there), we found that the formula for the thickness of paper after each fold is 2 to the power of LOVE (more pop culture references yay), but in all seriousness the actual formula is 2 to the power of variable, written in formula form as 2^x. Now we find the distance from the earth to the moon, which is about 15.13 billion inches. Now we just plug in the formula 2^x into a calculator and we zero in on where x would equal 15.13 billion inches and we get to the answer. Now what do you think the answer would be? 20 billion 525,600, 42, 24, some high number that we don't know? Well the answer is 42 folds is all it takes to get to the moon. But try to fold a paper more than 15 times and you'll have the worlds respect. I'm out, peace homies, your wise leader and teacher leaves. Do you see that b-ball flying in the air. If you don't chances are you are probably blind and can't even read this text that I'm making so therefore rendering this whole opening stuff moot. But if you aren't blind it should've caught your attention enough to read this actual thing. Yet the pic is still related because I made a graph showing the ending of whether or not he would make the shot. Which I answer, as I was told to, in Desmos. The smexy example will be right below this text right here You obviously see that. If not still refer to the beginning below the other picture. So As you can see from this graph. I realize that if luck was on his side, he could get it off the backboard, but it won't be a clean shot unless divine intervention occurs. So to be completely honest, it could go either way, it just won't be clean. Also before I go, the formula I used is highlighted on the side of the picture
Ok so now time for another one of these so fun blog posts, granted you may be saying that I've only made one, but that's besides the point of my complaining on blog on a Weebly I'm never probably going to see after this year. But then again, more digression I guess. Now onto the topic, so I'm supposed to tell you about this whole 'x-treme radical' skateboard ramp test (or whatever you'd call it.) So let us begin with that and cut all of this digression I've put in Let's take a look at the first graph with the skateboard at 24 in above ground. Let's take a look at the first graph that's so fine to the left of me (referencing the beautiful text of course.) Now as you can see, this is rather far off even at the beginning curve. There was the continual usage of the over expectations throughout this graph that threw me off.
Hey it's back to normal and I guess that the whole formatting mess up made sure you didn't forget about the middle of it. So I guess two wrongs can make a right. You could say the same for this fine graph that's 'so fine.' Now halfway through and I begin the 7 inch high ramp run. This one I was pretty much 100% spot on with. So I'm beginning to think that this has less to do with me getting better at judging and more with the skateboard being slower. Which is quite a hit to my pride So I'm just gonna go and cry offscreen for a few hours while the other characters do their stuff. Have fun. Thanks for coming and prepare you eyes for something gloriously glorious Wasn't that simply glorious, I know you are probably still in shock from seeing something so amazingly well done and artistic, so take a break and bask in it. Now are you good? Good, I understand it is not simply enough for you (or my grade in this class) for me to simply show this are, so without further words. I shall explain.
This stunning picture was created most entirely (besides the eyes and head shape) by creativity, confusing functions, and a very liberal use of undefined slopes and brackets (mostly the third one.) So of course I will begin with the mans glorious eyebrows. If you look at them close enough you can tell the fact that these were created by a square root function and its negative form along with the use of bracketed formulas to keep the, from going on forever as that is inhuman and would kill any logic left in this face. Let us not take too much time on that so we must move onto the next part with two examples of negative squared variable functions, also known as inverse parabolas. You have the obvious one of what constitutes the body of this red faced man, this was caused by shrinking x to a quarter of its original size whic widens the parabola to the point where it is pretty much synonymous to a body but the other one is hidden and I nearly lost it. The second parabola is actually his amazing mustache |
