Hello, im VERY SORRY about the late post..hope your not mad =)
aaanyways, here's the scribe from FRIDAY MAY 9, 2008.

We went over the homework from THURSDAY MAY 8, 2008

The answers for D&E are basically your personal opinion.

We worked on a group problem similar to the problem on thursday. Which can be found on slide 9. =D


The lucky winner of the next scribe post will be ........................................
VANESSA!! *the crowd roars* WOO HOO!

well well well .. HM, the probability unit was OK. Just somethings i still kind of have trouble with. I just need to review some of the things and i think that I'll be fine... hopefully :).
Later Alligators (=

Good Luck!

Scribe Post - Pascal's Triangle

Hello Boys & Girls,
Well the first math class (this morning) we had a pep rally. The beginning of afternoons class we went over last nights homework. Then we went over Pascals Triangle.

We started off with something alittle simple. We went over a number triangle.


- To get this trianle of numbers, you see that all the numbers on the right and left side are all the number 1.
- To get the middle numbers you add the numbers above it. So for the 3rd row you add 1+1=2.
- The 4th row to get the 3's you add 1+2=3.
- The 5th you add 1+3=4 , 3+3=6, 3+1=4
and so on.



We also went over many different ways to find patterns in Pascals Triangle.

The Pink line is just showing the its the numbers 1-10.
The BLUE Lines represent the "hockey stick".
-When you add 1,3,6, &10 together you get 20.
-When you add 1,6, & 21 together you get 28.

The GREY line is how many "dots" would make a triangle. Example:
< -----




Also, if you put
11^0 = 1
11^1 = 11
11^2 = 121
11^3 = 1,331
11^4 = 14,641


Another way of using Pascal's Triangle is in a word problem. Like this :



Home = top left corner
School = bottom right corner
and the other is post office.



In that problem it asks how many ways to get to the pst office from home. By using pascal's triangle, we figured that there are 3 ways to get from home to the post office.

ALRIGHTY, well i think thats all, hopefully it helps. (:
Next to scribe is ....... Vanessa

BOB - Matrices

WELL, like everyone, matrices was a pretty easy unit for me. I was able to do everything except for the transition matrix. Only the big problem ones. Either than that, im able to do everything else. Hopefully the review will make the transition problems better. SOOOOO good luck on the test thursday. study study study! =)
