The Importance Of Technology (FR)

Technology is very important in everyday life. As we evolve so does the technology we use. By technology i dont mean computers and cell phones or electronics. Those are just examples of technology. The definition of technology is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purpose. This definition basically means anything you use to help you do other tasks or make them simple. The invention of the spoon is one of the most basic technological break through. The first spoon was carved out of wood. Today you can find many different varieties of the spoon. Today you can find spoons that are combined with forks or with holes in them for when you are cooking with greese. Today many people hear technology and think of computers and electronics. As we evolve we use technology more and more. We went from using the sun to tell time to using watchs with phone capabilities. Todays tech is very complicated, everything is touch screen and controlled by there self. Some phones are so advanced that you dont even need to unlock it to use it.  As we get older and older our use of technology will grow and so will the desire for new inventions. Technology will continue to grow and get more complex.

Pre Calc (ID)

Durring this week of pre calculus class we have been learning how to factor by completing the square. In this process we also learned a thing called adding zero. At first we were all stunned and thought there was no way you can add a zero. Ms.Rios teaches us in steps. First she teaches us how to complete the square. Completing the square is another form of factoring. Its not the easiest way but its a sure proof way that you get the right answer. There are many steps to completing the square. First you have set the equation to zero. After that you subtract or add the constent to the zero side. The constent is the number with out a variable. The new equation should be a ax+bx=c. Once you have that you have to divide the b by two then square that number. That would give you the new c. You would then have to add that number to the other side of the equation. You would then have to find the factors then find the square roots of both sides. The process of adding zero is a whole nother process after you have done this. To add zero you would need to add nd subtract the new C at the same time. You only have to do this when you are being asked for points on a graph. You also would have to add zero when A is not 1.

Pasionate Blog

I can not wait till the NBA season starts. I can not wait because I need to get some new moves from my favorite athletes. I also can not wait till I get to see the Miami Heat celebrate there championship with the fans and have the ring ceremony on the Heats home opener. I also can’t wait to see all the newly rebuilt teams try to make their championship runs and dethrone the champion Heat. I strongly feel that Miami is going to win it all again. I feel this way because Miami has the greatest player on earth in which is LeBron James. LeBron James is my favorite basketball player. I’ve been a fan since I seen him play his first NBA game back in 2003. I watched and modeled my own personal game after his. From his first game till now I have seen the difference in his game, attitude, and body. As the years went on and LeBron continued to get bigger and bigger and I wasn’t my game changed. I started playing against guys that were bigger then I so my LeBron moves that I was watching on TV wasn’t going to work on them. I began watching other athletes play and I started studying their games along with the way LeBron James play. I started to watch guys that had the same type of body as me like Kevin Durant and his long arms. Kevin Durant became my new idol along with LeBron and I started watching how he played and used his long arms to get what he wanted. This helped me because for my height and age my arms exceed my "normal" body size. I started to watch many of his games to add some of the things I seen him do and add it to my game. As the years went on and seasons have passed vie leaner allot of my moves and how I play the game today. Another person that influenced me is Stephan Curry. He has influenced me because watching him play and seeing how well he shoots the ball made me want to shoot more and develope that part of my game more. Today I can base my game on those players and many more by the end of this NBA season.
