Unit 2, Sequences+Series

So today we learned about Sequences and Series it was very new. Hopefully it will be okay after we learn about it more.There seems to be two accepts .
  1. Geometric Arithmetic, Prediction, Stability, Exponential Growth
2. Fractal Analysis, Perimeter, Areas, Volumes

Fractal= A rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is a reduced- size copy of whole
Now there are 4 ways of solving theses problems. We were showed only 2 ways and our homework is to find the other ways.

Unit 1 TEST

The test actually went well so hopefully i got a good mark.
3 of Spider-Man's mortal enemies are:
  1. The Beetle
  2. Spider-Slayer
  3. Green Goblin

Unit 1, Test Review

Test Tomorrow!!!
Today we just went through what will be on the test and some of the old exam questions. It was helpful going through some of the questions in the old exams. So need to make my formula sheet and study for the test. Hopefully the test will go swell.

Sept 23rd

Today we went through the questions that where for homework.
Directly no nodes-One Leg-No layovers
Indirect through one node-Two legs-One layover
Indirect through two node-Three legs-Two layovers
It helps me to think of flying from Minot to Ashville then having layovers as nodes.
We also went through some more Directed Networks where we did the same as yesterday but at the end because, the question asked back to itself using no more than two nodes. At the end when you found all the matrix's you have to add [A]+[A]2+[A]3=
Exactly- one matrix
At Most- Add some matrix's

Unit 1, Networks&Matrices

Today we learnt Networks and Matrices. At first it was extremely frustrating. There is Directe vs Non Directed
(one way street) (two-way street)
-so what we looked at was this direct route which from to
-than a indirect through one node from - to
-than from - - to.. Very confusing!
But then the calulator saved the day and all you need to do is put the first matrix into there and then ^2 and ^3 !!!!!

Unit 1. Exercise 5

Today we learned more about Matrix Multiplication but, just in a more complex way...Yay.....
So what it was all about was figuring out where to place the matrix's so that equation will work out and that it will be successful..
Nonsense ----> Nonsense
In Out
It's a bit confusing right now and i am not sure if i got the hang out it right now but, i just need to do more practice questions.

We did question #2 on Exercise 5 on our own and this is how it went down..
The question asked the weekly production of kitchen and bedroom suites..
(a) [30 10] [3] =[170]
[40 15] [8] [240]
(*You have to make sure you position the matrix right or else you can get nothingness*)

There are 3 factories for type A and 8 factories for type B. So we had to use matrix multiplication to find the weekly production. Which the answer is 170 Kitchen and 240 Bedrooms.

(b) Find the total market value of goods purchased.
SO take the weekly production and multiplied it by what the kitchen and bedroom sell for..
[170 240] [1500] = $783.000 total value.
[2200]

So the key for this is to think through the question logically to where to place the matrix
