Red Dashed (0,0): f(x)=x^{2}

This parabola has a vertex of (0,0). It does not have a horizontal or vertical shift since the (h) and (k) value is both (0). It also does not have a horizontal or vertical stretch since there is no (a) value. X= all real numbers. Y>or=0. The point of symmetry is (x= 0). The parabola opens upwards.

Blue Solid (0,4): f(x)=x^{2}+4

This parabola has a vertex of (0,4). It has no horizontal shift since the (h) value is (0), but there is a vertical shift since the (k) value is (4). It does not have a horizontal or vertical stretch because there is no (a) value. X= all real numbers. Y >or= 4. The point of symmetry is (x= 0). The parabola opens upwards.

Green Solid (0,-4): f(x)=x^{2}-4

This parabola has a vertex of (0,-4). It has no horizontal shift since the (h) value is (0), but there is a vertical shift since the (k) value is (-4). It does not have a horizontal or vertical stretch because there is no (a) value. X= all real numbers. Y >or= -4. The point of symmetry is (x= 0). The parabola opens upwards.

Purple Solid (-6,0): f(x)=(x+6)^{2}

This parabola has a vertex of (-6,0). It has a horizontal shift since the (h) value is (-6), but is not a vertical shift since the (k) value is (0). It does not have a horizontal or vertical stretch because there is no (a) value. X= all real numbers. Y >or= 0. The point of symmetry is (x= -6). The parabola opens upwards.

Black Solid (6,0): f(x)=(x-6)^{2}

This parabola has a vertex of (6,0). It has a horizontal shift since the (h) value is (6), but there is not a vertical shift since the (k) value is (0). It does not have a horizontal or vertical stretch because there is no (a) value. X= all real numbers. Y >or= 0. The point of symmetry is (x= 6). The parabola opens upwards.

Purple Dashed (3,-3): f(x)=-6(x-3)^{2}-3

This parabola has a vertex of (3,-3). It has a horizontal shift since the (h) value is (3), it has a vertical shift since the (k) value is (-3). It has a vertical stretch since the (a) value is (-6). X= all real numbers. Y <or= -3. The point of symmetry is (x= 3). The parabola opens downwards.

Black Dotted (-3,-3): f(x)=-1/2(x+3)^{2}-3

This parabola has a vertex of (-3,-3). It has a horizontal shift since the (h) value is (-3), it has a vertical shift since the (k) value is (-3). It has a horizontal stretch since the (a) value is (-1/2). X= all real numbers. Y <or= -3. The point of symmetry is (x= -3). The parabola opens downwards.

Communication Core Competency Reflection

I can understand and share information in a clear, organized way while working on my project, I used different colors which correlate to each of their parabolas on the graph. This was done to make a clear and easy to follow way of describing each of my parabola equations. While describing each parabola, I demonstrated how with each change of the (a), (h), and (k) made in impact and transformations of the graph weather that was moving it up, down, left, right, facing up or down, and even making it more narrow or wide.

I think about what I am going to convey and to whom I will convey it to while working on my project. I did this my using accurate mathematical vocabulary so that it was clear what I was referring to during each of my equations. I also demonstrated this while breaking down and clearly showing each equation so that whomever is being conveyed by this can clearly follow and understand what is being shown.

Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques

Persuasion and Advertisement Unit Reflection

Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement?

It is important to know who benefits because it is still the company who gets the money their customers spends and profits from them. Even if one is thinking they are getting a good deal, the really are not.

Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in persuading you/an audience: logical, ethical, emotional

I believe that logical is the most effective way to persuade an audience if it is a good quality product because one is showing the audience how well built or made there product is. On the other hand, if the company build a more poor product, ethical and emotional persuasion is more effective since the states on their product might not be helpful if they advertise it.

Choose an advertising technique and explain why it is effective in selling a product.

Testimonial is an effective advertising technique as we see it in ads all the time. For example, if one is on the edge of deciding if they would like to buy a product or not, their pushing point might be seeing someone famous who is using that brand and then they decide to buy it because of this person.

Core Competency Reflection

I knew my group is working well together when I heard communication amongst our group members. It is important to communicate between your group so it’s easier for everyone to work well together.

I used to think the customers got a deal through advertisement now I know the company is only wanting to profit themselves. They will make sales like buy two get one free and thought that might seem like a good deal, they are truly just wanting to make profit.

When my group was not productive, we had a discission in order to get things moving in the right direction. This help us so we all knew what we needed to do and knew what our other group members were doing.

French 9: Final Reflection

Semester Reflection

Reflection

I have found that i have improved most on my verbal skills in French this year. I am needing to improve on my writing for French this year. My most proud assignment of the year would be my exit interview. I felt I have improved on my vocab and I thought that would show it. I would try to add more detail in my final answer because mine was kind of bland.

Core Competencies

I have valuable ideas to share about and do so by sharing it to the class my raising my hand instead of keeping the thought to myself which also allows me to practice my vocab.

I am an avid learner because I am always trying to improve my French speaking and writing skills.

Digital Footprint

It is crucial to stay safe on the internet and be a wear of anything that mite seen unsafe. It is also important to say and post things that are positive especially online because if you have said something that you are not proud of and try to delete it, it will never truly be gone and that might come to bit you in the future if you are having an interview for a job and the person who is interviewing you searches you up (which they will) and finds that unipositive thing that you thought you deleted and because of it they might not give you that job. Some of these unsafe things could be as simple as clicking a like which is really is a vires and then all of your information is stolen and could be sold and that could be personal photos or even thing like credit card passwords and other important things. Some ways you can prevent yourself this from happening is just asking yourself “is this to true to be true” because a lot of these scams are message’s that say “click this link for $1000” and with just a simple click of a button, your life could be in shambles so be aware of that if you are ever put in a situation like that. Some examples of unipositive activity online could be saying raciest thing or homophobic things and other thing among these lines. It is really disrespectful and you just cannot say these kind of things. Some ways you can prevent yourself from doing this is by before sending something think of yourself in the future and how what you are about to send might effect you.

Core Competency Reflection

It is important to know your own digital footprint and what people can find out about you just by looking you up. It is important to not overshare online and know that once something is online, even if you delete it, someone could have saved it and it will never really be gone. Every now and then you should try to search yourself and see what appears and if you find a lot of things coming up that you may not even remember posting and you might want to start taking another second and thinking before you post something.
