Mr. Max talked about the test and success. He believes that a re-test would be great, since he wants to cultivate the idea that we can be successful at this course by tackling the material. I certainly found it to be quite motivational, and I do confess that I haven’t been taking a proactive approach to learning the material in this course. Well . . . I know I did bad on the test – I didn’t learn the material.

Anyway, today’s math topic is transformational geometry. All we are doing is moving and changing graphs around. Altering values in equations can cause translations like this: X^2 + 2

Well, it shifted downwards twice. We did something like this back in grade 10, I believe. One could do the same to trigonometric equations.
