The Forgotten Research by oliver fletcher

The job I got is a Police Officer. what they do is technically protect the law and civilians. The requirements needed is Citizenship, Education, Age 21 or older, and a Valid Drivers License. Some expectations they expect from you is knowing to drive under pressure, how to arrest someone, and shooting a tazer and gun. what they usually do is arrest people, give tickets, kill (if needed), drive, sit in a office, or do nothing all day. Working for the police can be awesome or just plain boring. They usually make around 58,000 dollars per year, and their prime location is almost anywhere in the USA.Currently right now, Alabama and Texas has the most officers dead with a total of 5. Most police members are men, because 12% of 900,000 officers are women. i think being an officer is just only a “decent” job.

25 billion apps thing

First, I subtracted 25 billion from 24,659,054,476 and got 340,945,524. My average number of downloads per minute is 34,000. Then you divide 340,945,524 from 34,000. The answer which is number of minutes is 10028. Next, you divide the number of minutes by 60. The total of that is 167. Now we know that we are 167 hours away from 25,000,000,000 downloads.

We know that there are 24 hours in a day, so we now need to see what day should we start downloading. So all we have to do or what we can do is keep adding 24 till we get somewhere around 167. So 24+24=48 that’s 2 days, +24= 72 which it 3, +24=96 which is 4 days, +24=120 which is 5 days, +24=144 which is 6 days, +24=168 which is 7 days. Even though it’s not exactly our number, it’s very close enough. So the day it will start downloading is February 18, which is one week from now. My prediction is that the downloads will slow down when near 25,000,000,000. Sense we have an hour longer from 167 to 168, we could add an hour longer to our time.

My answer is to start downloading apps on February 18, 2015 at 10:50 am.

Finding Slope of a Line

Slope of lineBefore we start, we need to see if the slope is going up or down. In this case,it is going uphill, so we now know it is positive. Now we need to find where the line touches an intersection of the graph. All you need is 2 points, but there will usually be more than 2, but it doesn’t matter which ones you pick. After you pick the 2 points, and sense it’s a positive slope, go up and right, starting from the bottom point to the highest point, in this case, I got 2/1, but lets change it to just a 2. Always make sure you do your Y axis first, then your X axis.

REVILO REHCTELF

Things I like about this class is that we use Khan Academy which is a good way of teaching and the fact that we can take tests over and over again till we get a good grade. I kind of don’t like how were always on the computers. I want Mr. Oldfield to teach more, and I feel like I can learn better with worksheets.

First Nine Weeks

This year I have learned a lot of things. I can now do adding subtracting negative numbers with no problem at all. Combining like terms and also with distribution is also pretty easy. I have passed about everything I did on Khan Academy. Some of them I even Mastered too, when I did the mastery challenges. My tests were all A’s except one which was a B. So I’d have to say that I’m pretty good at Math this year. I’m going to give myself this year an A, but not a 100%. This reason is because I have did well on Khan Academy and my tests, but I didn’t think I am doing perfect.

Estimating the square root of 105

Today, I’m going to estimate the square root of 105. We first need to set up out barriers, the square root of 100 on the left, and the square root of 121 on the right. That leaves us with 10 on the left, and 11 on the right. We easily know that half of 10 and 11 is 10.5, and that 10.5 is a lot closer to 100 than it is to 121. So we can’t use 10.6-10.9, those numbers are too high. Our options are 10.1-10.4. Let’s find the middle number between 100 and 121.

121-100 is 21, take half of that and we got 10.5.

Add 100+10.5 and our total is 110.5.

Even though 100 is still closer, it is by a super tad bit, by 0.5. So lets eliminate 10.1 and 10.4, there not good enough, so it’s either 10.3 or 10.4. Even though 100 is closer to 105 than 121, but almost a tie with the half number, 110.5, lets go with 10.24. That sounds pretty close to the answer. The answer is 10.25, we were .1 off which is really good.

1st Test

The first test this year was pretty challenging the first time. It was about adding and subtracting and multiplying and dividing negative numbers which I had no problem with. There was also evaluating expressions in 2 variables, which I had problem with. The first time, I got a C, I got all of them right, except the evaluating expressions part. The second time, I got a B, I only missed 1 evaluating expression problem. That night, I was on Khan Academy for 1 hour, just doing evaluating expressions, the third and last time I took the test, I got an A, 100%. So what I’m really saying is that it got easier and easier.
