#6 on the final review

Good afternoon professor, I was doing the final review a little while ago and got to number 6, and it asked ”

#6 Find the magnitude and the direction angle for:

 a) v =< 2, −2 3 > b) v =< −3, − 3 > c) v =< −5 3,5 > ” HAve we done this in class? what’s the likelihood that it will end up on the final exam?

Test review #1 Translations

This is a question I got on webwork and went to office hours for.

“Give an equation for the result of shifting the graph of x^2+y^2=4 down by 5 units, and left by 9 units.”

Due to the shape of this graph being a circle you have to operate on both the x and y variables. You also have to do the translations by axis.

Since the Y axis controls up and down, you have to move it accordingly, and you have to do the same to the X axis except it controls how far left or right the graph is.

You don’t do anything to the radius (which in this case is 4) unless told to because that changes the size.

To solve the equation:

(X)^2+(Y)^2=4

moved down by 5- (X)^2+(Y+5)^2=4

moved to the left by 9- (X+9)^2+(Y+5)^2=4

(X+9)^2+(Y+5)^2=4 is the final answer.

Introducing Pierre-Ryan Baptiste

Hello,

My name is Pierre-Ryan Baptiste, but most people call me Ryan. My pronouns are he, him, and his. I’m a computer engineering major, and because of that I’ve so much to look forward to before graduation. Most of my classes are just different forms of math so I guess I have to take at least two math classes per semester not including the labs. After graduation I hope to be working with tech based companies or starting something of my own as soon as possible. I’m proud of a lot of the things that I can do, like playing football (soccer) and computer programing. Procrastination is a big hurdle for me, I had a week to do this but I’m finally doing it. At least it’s not last minute though (it might as well be). Finally deciding to my homework is one of the difficult things that I overcame, only in this case it’ll most likely be a weekly occurrence. I’ll probably grow out of it. My favorite book is The False Prince the first in the trilogy written by Jennifer A. Nielsen. My favourite animals are lions.
