On the first day in class, we discussed a new problem about having a subway station that is equidistant from 3 office towers. A method that was suggested to solve this problem, was to find the midpoints and the perpendicular bisectors. Another suggestion was to draw a circle which connects all three points of the office towers, and to find the center of it. I discussed with my elbow partner other methods to solve this problem, and we came up with an idea. It was to connect the midpoints to the opposite vertices, which will create three lines. The three lines should intersect at a point, which will be the location that is equidistant from the three office towers. As a class, we also discussed how to solve for midpoints. A classmate informed us about a midpoint formula, which is M=(x1+x22 , y1+y22). …show more content…
To solve for the midpoint, I thought that you would measure the line and divide by two as a solution. Our question for homework was, “How do we know that the proposed midpoint formula will guarantee a point in the exact middle?” The midpoint formula provides us the average of the x and y variables. When I thought about the average, I know that it could represent the mean, median and mode. When I thought of adding two numbers together and dividing them by two, I thought about the mean and median. Both of these methods are used to find the “middle” of a set of numbers. The mean adds up all of the numbers and divides them by the total amount of numbers. For the median, you find the middle of the set of numbers. Although if there are two middle numbers, you add them a divide them by two. This is the way I thought about the midpoint

Question 9 Early roller coasters used a circular loop along their track, but nowadays modern roller coasters utilize a clothoid loop as opposed to a circular loop. A clothoid loop can be described as an upside down teardrop shape, where the bottom radius of the loop is larger than the top radius of the loop. Roller coasters switched to a clothoid loop when people realized that to send a cart through a clothoid loop it takes a less amount of energy in comparison to the more circular loop. To send…

Unit 6 provided a hypothetical situation where one student measured higher on an IQ test versus another student. The following will answer questions about how to view intelligence tests when comparing two separate individuals using the following scenario: one student measured 100, while the other student measured 110 on two different tests. What can one say about the two students and their scores on these tests? The purpose of an IQ test is to measure one’s academic intelligence. The average…

The art teacher and I have been able to collaborate on several projects. Using fantasy, we would be able to build upon one project in particular that we have implemented, having students create stop motion videos. After a genre and novel study on fantasy, students would be able to create their own fantasy stop motion video. Activities would take place in the classroom, library and art room. Students over the year have learned several different artistic styles and have learned about storyboarding…

1.A membrane potential is the electrical difference between the inside and out side of a cell. Change to the membrane potential triggers signals by action potential. Action potential is a signal that transmits information over spaces in the nervous system. A cell at rest is negatively charged inside with regard to the outside fluid, so a membrane potential is the reversal of this, so the inside becomes positively charged with regard to outside. In order to cause an action potential, depolarization…

As you start on your second year of study, you will notice that we repeat themes and topics from your first book. This is a modern and good way of learning a subject. It is called a ‘spiral approach’ to learning. A spiral is a circle that repeats itself, but each turn of the circle takes it a little higher than the previous circle. You will find repetition – revision – in each of the topics. This will help to refresh your memory on the subjects, and will give you confidence to progress to the next…

1. Increasing the router memory to infinite cannot control the congestion. Agree or disagree? Elaborate briefly (60-100 words) Increasing the router memory to infinitive will help control the congestion because if a specific part of the network cannot process the amount of data it is receiving instead of losing the data and having the sender resend the information It would be stored in the routers infinite memory. However using the same example if the specific part of the network continuous to be…

Category six – think win-win. My score for the sixth category was ten. This result supports my experience of needing to develop more consideration of others’ needs and ideas when collaborating to reach shared goals. One opportunity to practice developing greater consideration is to ask my Administrative Assistant to lead tours through our radiation oncology department, instead of myself. She is naturally better-suited to this activity. In this example, she wins by getting more recognition as…

Yes, the Paris attack was tragic. I suspect these attacks will continue in the future, until humanity learns to share resources and respects each others' cultural differences. I do have projects similar to Janson et al, 2007 Cell to propose to you. Spindle dynamics in meiosis I & II have not been well characterized (see attached movie). During meiosis, two haploid (1N) cells mate/fuse and become one large diploid (2N) cell. This diploid zygote duplicates its DNA (4N) and forms one meiosis I spindle…
