Title: I suck at math
Post by: Smokey_locs2006 on April 30, 2006, 07:22:25 PM
I'm doing this math test.. and yeah.. I suck at it. So I ask you for help Charas what the hell is these answer to this problems.

1.

Find the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 45m. Use 3.14 for pi.




2.
Find the area of the composite figure. Use 3.14 for pi. Area of circle is
 Pi r ^2

I must have been in class the day we went over these.. if any of you can help me with these 2 I'd be very happy.

What is it, a take home test? Anyways, I know how to do circle stuff... I just... forgot.

Something like that.. The better grade I get the more money I get to go to school next year.. I think at one point I did know how to do number 2 but...I want to be 100% right.

Well, I think r= radius, whic is half the diameter of the circle. So if the diameter on 2 os 2ft, the radius is 1ft. So 1 sq = 1= 3.14 times 1= 3.14 in half for half a circle is 1.57 + 2x3 =1.57 + 6= 7.57 or somethin, I dunno. Just trying to group together random bits o math.

C= PiD
C= 3.14 * 45
C= 141.3

A(figure)= A(semi-circle)+ A(rectangle)
A(s)=[3.14(1)^2]/2 (its a semicircle so it is half the area)
A(s)=1.57
+
A(r)=3 * 2
A(r)=6
Area(figure)=6+1.57
Area=7.57 feet

Wait until you have to start graphing sinusodial functions using phase shifting. Granted, finding the sine of a line segment on the unit circle when given the tangent is harder and yet sounds easier.

Right now I actually got stuck in Algebra AB, which is the first half of Algebra 1 boo kand it takes a year. But we finished already and I took CD last year, so repeat for me! Stupid move of schools and the office idiots...... Grrrrrr...

I'm in advanced classes in school, which basically means I'm stuck in the higher math classes. Bad thing is math is my worst subject. I took Algebra 1 in 8th grade, 2 in 9th, and I'm taking Geom/Trigonometry this year. God, I hate math.

I have one for you.

If you assume that one drop of water is a perfect sphere, 20 drops is 1 mL, and in a cubical dm one liter fits, what is the diameter of one drop?

I suck at math but I bet 1,000 bucks I know about science, english, and history than you do. I don;t care for math what I'll be doing for life requires very little math. I did figure it out though once I read it again..
Title:
Post by: Archem on May 01, 2006, 01:44:27 AM
Oh, good. That makes up for it! Cuz I'm not so great at English and history. Which reminds me: I'm failing French, and I've failed English and Speech. Do you know what that means? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!? IT MEANS THAT I CAN"T TALK!!!!!!!

Sucks for me, don't it?

lol I'm a great teacher I believe in giving the student a bunch of information at once and then helping them gain hold of what they didn't understand. The thing about teaching is you must try something differ ways of teaching dependin on what you're teach. Like with math steps is important. History...tons of info and right to the point and so on. I love to teach but it doesn't pay enough for me to do it.

I'm with Dessy here. I suck at maths too. Well, one form of maths. We get A 1 or 2 or B 1 or 2 here. I suck at B1.

Well, whadd'ya know, so do I Smo.  I recently got $1000 for a Linux class.  Guy wants to come back for a Security+ class.

We gotta combine forces.  I'm awesome at mathematics and astronomy.  Also physics and SOME geoscience.  I'm okay in history and suck at english.  You must help me in history...>_>  Man, Ir emember the cool talks about philosophy, history, etymology, and science you and I used to talk about.  Those were the days.  Jesus, we gotta get together soon!  What happened to that tourny? o_O

Wait until you get to the Calculus. I completed Calculus 1 and 2 last year (Junior year) and I barely got by. Of course, I didn't do the homework and had a hard time, but never asked for help. Got C's in both classes.

Chad one -.- but not by much...I spent too much energy fighting Shawn him and his damn feet wouldn't stop kicking so I had to keep moving.
 
I really don't understand the need of most math classes in High School In College, your money. Do whatever pleases you.

I was in a AP Algerbra class, then I was told without being told that the school I'm going to doesn't even care about AP classes and your chances of getting in are not even increased if you take AP classes so.
I dropped out and took the most basic math class with Trevlac here and let me tell you, it was worth it. Easy Easy A class but I got a B because I was always late and didn't do much work. All I did  was play DBZ and Listen to music on my PSP.

Same. Except I loved all math before 9th grade. 2 was a complete nightmare, but I got through. Geometry isn't too bad I'm doing pretty good. I'm great with trig, but that was only one chapter ya know, even though we sort of still use it, but not a lot. But yeah, same goes for me that I hate math as well. So yeah, I'm on the same track as charaman as you could tell by now. SonicChaos, you make me worried about my senior year. :|

I'm just telling it to you how it is. If you don't put forth the effort in Calculus, you won't get good results. I only got by because of my natural intellect. Not bragging, just saying.

Umm... This didn't quite answer my question. What does "AB" and the like translate into? Like, advanced, or remedial, or what? And we don't really use the A > F system, we use a percentage system. It's just easier for me to type A instead of 90%-100% range.

GT - Gifted and Talented

IB - International Baccaulerate (sp?)

Calculus AB- Calculus 1
Calculus BC- Calculus 2

Hopefully these terms make sense

I´m good at geometry and trigonometry...the rest I suck at. But I´m good at history, portuguese, english, chemestry, and biology. Physics contain too much calculating, so I´d be contradicting myself if I said I´m good at it.

EDIT: BTW, that´s a pretty nasty picture to put in a test hehe...I´d laugh most of the time...

Post by: ZeroKirbyX on May 01, 2006, 09:02:18 PM
Algebra 1-2: You go through the whole book
Algebra AB: You go halfway through
Algebra CD: You do the second half

I f***in hate my school though. I passes last year with a low C, but because some dumbasses keep taking in more stadents than are graduating, we run out of class room and get put in the wrong classes. I know a guy that has Geometry and had a 17% in Algebra 1-2.

 My grades are:

I actually knew those two, since I've been in such classes for several years until eventually giving up and taking the easy classes. But thanks for clearing things up for me.

My school automatically ups any grades to a 50% if they're lower than that. So that people can still pass if'n' they **** up. Like me. :D

Well heres the thing. If you have below a 2.0 you go to PA where its all remedial and you get no electives. Because there are to many students, 2.0s will go to PA and lose electives, but 1.1s get to continue as normal. 5000 f***ing students man. 4200 last year. See the problem?

Yes! It all makes sense now! Thank you, C-Man! I would kiss you, but I know you'd just cheat on me in a week or so...

And yes, ZKX, I see. Wait, no I don't! Your school district is fuckin' retarded! Who in the hell PASSES 1.1 (I assume that's GPA) instead of 2.0?! Do it the other way around! Dumb-asses!

We call GT Honors in my school. We have AP as well, but we don't have anything like IB. Wow, so you took both calculus courses before graduating? Cool. In order to do that, I would have had to double up this year with analysis, but I didn't do... quite well enough in Algebra 2 to do that. Meh, I'm happy where I am. One AP calc class suits me just fine. And, in response to your statement before, I will put out the effort. Can I turn to you for help? ;) Jk.

Huh? GT means gifted and talented? But I was in a GT class o.O WTF and I never knew what GT stood for o.O...

...

...

...

wtf, i wasnt gifted OR talented!

And fact, it was GTA (all I knew was that A stood for Advanced...) so I took Gift and Talented Advanced Calculus? There's no effing way that happened! Even less that I passed with a B or C (don't remember)!

That would explain the struggle though... STILL. I was/am not that smart to be in such class... though again, that too would explain why I was in the same class with the smartest people in school... all this time, not knowing... *spazzes*

EDIT: I think I am remembering wrong... oy, my head hurts.

At my school it just goes pre-algebra, algebra 1, geometry, and calculus as standard and then you can take trig and then the AP classes as optional.

Im really into science but I was reading some shtuff on wikipedia and now I have to look into vector and tensor calculus to broaden my scientific knowledge... and it sucks. It's hard stuff.
