Graph Assignment 2

mta_0This  graph shows the increase of MTA fare from  1904 to 2015, and it really seemed interesting to me, since I really wanted to know more about how was the price of the MTA fare in the past compared to now.  As we can see this graph is a bar graph that shows the price per trip, and in the x-axis we see the years and in the y-axis we see the fare rate. I went to the website and they gave me more information about this cool graph and it was quite saddening to see that prices were very less expensive and now the prices went up out of nowhere.

This link above is the site where I got my graph from and it tells a lot of detailed information about the rise of the MTA fare.

Math and my career

2015-02-10 23.39.21My major is Paralegal Studies and in the future I want to be an advocate. Lawyers use math everyday as they perform many tasks such as structuring a case like a geometric proof. First, I will start with all
the given facts, then go on stating the relevant laws and precedents that
relate to the case. Then I have to make my argument based on these facts
using reasoned logic, exactly as if I were doing a mathematical
proof. Not just only in my job field I will need math, but I will also need math in my everyday life as well, for example purchasing items and looking out for the best sale, measuring the exact ingredients to cook a good homemade meal.
