1. 3 Majors

  • Anesthesiologist Assistant: they learn how to collect data, they help to give anesthesia. they also learn how to educate patients, administer drugs to them, monitor patient condition, and adjust anesthesia levels. if u would want to make a career of this then you would need classes like AP Calculus
  • Health/Medical Psychology: the explore the psychology of health, illness, and recovery. covers abnormal and social psychology, learning, therapy, research methods, and effects of drugs on mental states.
  • Forest Management: combination of forestry and natural resources. cover breeding, and measurements of trees, to policy and economics. then go on to administration of forest lands.

2. Colleges

  • University of Sciences in Philadelphia: a private school. minimum GPA 2.5. very little Hispanic/ native races. woman out rule the men 2/1. very good for health sciences, and pharmacy.
  • Keystone College: liberal arts college. minimum GPA 1.0. only up to bachelors degree. 93% applicants admitted. <1%>
  • Kaplan University: goes up to 1st professional. very large campus. again might get a good scholarship due to low Native American ethnicity's. minimum GPA 2.5.

Autobots..TRANSFORM...and roll out to math class

1.Transformations:
I am actually shocked that some people come to me to ask for help in this class, i am also shocked that they ask me about how the transformations are....but i am the most shocked on that how, i actually understand transformations!!!. one tip that helps me to understand transformations is the "( )". when and equation is like, f(x)=(x-3) then the graph will shift to the left 3, compared to f(x)=x-3 where the graph will shift down 3. How "( )" helps me is that they go on the left and right of the equation so it tells me that the graph would either go left...or right! then if the equation has both like, f(x)=(x-3)-3, then the graph will go left 3, and down 3.

2. Trigonometry:
lets cut to the chase...its all about the Unit Circle. the unit circle is by far the most annoying math concept EVER!. the only way i know how to remember the unit circle is the was ms.hwang told us...in the 1st Q its Pi/6, Pi/4, Pi/3....to find the 2nd Q it would be the 1st Q but (-1), then in the 3rd Q its the 1st Q (+1), then in the 4th Q its the 1st Q 2x-1. and even though it sounds complicated that the only way i can memorize it and i still have to take awhile to do it. to be honest i kinda guessed on some of the answers for the quiz....and i got it right =]!, but i understand the points, by using angles to find the opposite side.

3. The Problems With Me:
here is what i cannot get... as u can tell...the unit circle...i need a faster more efficient way to memorize and understand it. another problem i am having is the cos-1, tan-1, etc. they confuse me to the point, where i will draw the same graph over and over....and just say they're different.

Logs and Inverses...(sarcastic) how exciting....

ok so heres the deal
Log's:
i know that log can have a base of any number, and that if a log doesnt have a base then its automatically 10. i also know how to solve log prolems like log3^9 = 2 because 2^3 is 9. what i also know is that if a "ln" had a base of "e" then they would both cancel out.

Inverse's:
inverses are simply what the word inverse means which is in my terms, opposite. for instance the inverse of f(x) is f-1(x). i know how to solve most of them for example if f(x)=3, the f-1(x)=1/3, b/c it would be kinda like the opposite.

heres what i dont know/hate!:
i hate the fact that i do not understand how are ln and log different?
i also hate that i cannot remember how to sole a log function when it has a "x" infornt of the log like, x log3^2=10...how do u answer that!?!?!?

Even and Odd Functions....ugh....

How i understand even and odd functions:




Even: functions where the left half of the plane is a mirror image of the right half

Ex. f(x)= x^2






Odd: functions where the left half of the plane is a mirror image of the right half, but its upside down across from the other
Ex. f(x)= x^3


Simply: f(x) is even if f(x)= f(-x) and is odd if f(-x)= -f(x)
