My Parabola

Posted on November 7, 2022 by Kian

My Equation: 𝑦=4(𝑥+1) ²−2

The parabola graphed in blue is the basic parabola while my parabola is the one in red. Altering the a, h or k in the graph will drastically change the parabola’s appearance.
Modifying “a” made the parabola appear wider or thinner. In other words, when a > 1, the graph compresses. When 0 < a < 1, the graph stretches. You can even determine whether the graph opens upwards or downwards based on this number.
“h” represents a horizontal shift of how much the graph moves left or right from x = 0. While “k” represents a vertical shift of how much the graph moves up or down from y = 0.
A as 4 on my parabola made my parabola thinner, k changed the vertex of my parabola by 1 to the left and h altered the parabola by moving the vertex 2 down.

Self Reflection

I represented the same mathematical idea in 3 different formats. The way in which I presented this idea in 3 different ways was through an equation which is y= 4(x+1)² -2, then in words explaining how the graph can get wider and narrower based on the value of “a” in the model equation represented by y=a(h-x)²+k, or how the graph can be moved right or left based on the value of “h” in the model equation or how the parabola vertex is changed by the value of “k”; and the third way is by the graph as above with the basic one in blue, and a second one based on my equation has changed to the one in red.

When explaining my parabola in words I used mathematical terms like vertex shift on the y-axis, vertical and horizontal shifts on the x-axis to represent my understanding of a, h and k in an equation.

I used formatting to help get my point across. I did this by making my parabola red vs the standard which is blue.

Japanese Canadian Internment

Posted on May 13, 2022 by Kian

It is simply wrong to put Japanese Canadians in internment camps. I say this because most Japanese Canadians are innocent, and we must trust them when they say that they will not act hostile towards other Canadians. Under the law it states that “Everyone is equal in the eyes of the law” and “All persons are innocent until proven guilty.” Which means that under the law everyone is equal no matter of their race or gender and that everyone is innocent until it is proven that they have committed an act of wrongdoing. I also say this because what goes around comes around. For example, if you were to do a good deed one day, that deed will most likely come back in a positive manner. However, if you were to put Japanese Canadians in internment camps, that action will most likely come back in a negative way. Lastly the golden rule for an exceptionally long time has always been to treat someone the way you want to be treated. Implying that unless you like working at an internment camp, do not put them in internment camps and that is why I believe that throwing Japanese Canadians in camps is wrong.

Reflection on Japanese internment

Core

✅I worked with others to achieve a goal.

✅ I analyzed evidence from the research I did and made judgements.

✅ I now understand and can appreciate diverse perspectives on issues and can resolve problems effectively and responsibly.

Curricular

✅ I did assess, understood, and explained the significance of the threat of the Japanese army and its treatment of people it conquered, in British Columbia, in my research handout and paragraph.

✅ I made an ethical judgement about the action of internment the Japanese Canadians in my paragraph.

✅ I did assess and explained the justification for different views of Japanese Canadian internment in my research handout and paragraph.

My Bio

My name is Kian, and I am in 9th grade at centennial. My favorite class here is LEC because it is a free homework block so you don’t need to do much homework at home, you get credited for taking the class and you can do whatever you want after your done your work. With LEC I have a lot of free time. My favorite things to do in my free time are playing video games, talking to friends, sometimes both at the same time and watching Netflix. As you can see it’s not much different from an average teenager except, I like to ski.

My Favorite Website

This is my favorite website because it doesn’t matter if you want to watch a tv series, live sports or just want to watch something because your board, you can watch it on YouTube.

My Favorite Video

I chose this as my favorite video because I want to know how to speed run a Rubik’s cube solve.

My Favorite Image

I chose this as my favorite image because game pigeon is a game you can play with your friends even if they don’t play many video games. It’s really fun and you could easily spend hours playing it.

My Favorite Quote

“If you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will fail above everyone else’s success.” –James Cameron

Normally I would stick to a Naruto quote but I chose this one as my favorite because I never really thought about failure like how it mentions in this quote.
