     In this blog I will be writing about different questions that I have for equation lines. Maybe some of the questions that I have you will have as well. I will also try my best to answer these questions. I hope that some of these questions can help you with the understanding of all of the equation lines, and what they are and everything in general. 
     The first question I will ask is, "What are equation lines?' Well, equation lines are a line on a graph and when you plot new points they all form  line.

    Have you guys ever figured out what the better buy of Mt. Dew was? I don't know maybe the store is ripping you off! Let's say you bought a pack of Mt. Dew at the store today. The last time I checked it was $12.99 per pack. The litter of Mt. Dew is $5.99. Am I the only one who wants to know which one I should buy the next time I walk in a store and buy Mt. Dew? Well I'm going to tell you the whole process. 
     In order to find out which is the better you will need to know how much you are going to buy. For example you have to know if your going to buy 1 or 2 packs of Mt. Dew. You would also have to know how many ounces are in on bottle that come in packs and figure out how many of those bottles does it take to have a litter.

In math we have had and learned many new things that i didn't know about. But, on one side some of the math, or most of the math is review from last year. I have most of the math remembered, but some I just need to review it and then know what it's about. But, if you ask me there is one concept or lesson in math that I will never forget and always remember. 
     The concept I will never forget it scales, and exponents. I will never forget these, because these lessons were the two that I had much trouble with. Even with the after school people helping me I still didn't quite understand. But, after they taught me some knew ways to help me understand scales. I also had trouble on exponents too! But, after the book kept making new lessons towards them i got the hang of them and passed my tests.

  If there was one thing I would struggle or have a problem in math it would be fractions. Also something that I have problems with most of the time is the teacher. I love my math teacher, but I hate it when she has to have a sub come in and teach us. I really don't understand what the teacher is saying, because he is just a sub, and he is not a math teacher. This is why let's say my math teacher was out and she made a sub come in, and let's say the sub was teaching us about fractions. That would really stress me out and, especially if I find out that we are going to have a math test for that section. 
     This is why I would much rather have my original math teacher, because with my regular math teacher math seems so much easier. Also, because whenever I do have a problem with math my math teacher knows how to help. Plus, my math teacher already knows me well enough to know what I will struggle with in math. It's as if you just get used to having that same math teacher everyday that helps you with everything you need. 

 
     The Pythagorean theorem. You might not know what this is, what it does, nor what it is used for. Well let me tell you I had the same problem when my math teacher first told me about it. Now that I know, I can share all of the stuff with you. First of all the Pythagorean theorem is a math equation. This math equation is used to find the length of a missing side in a triangle.
     The equation is a to the second power times b to the second power equals c to the second power. You may not know what the second power means, but all that means is that you multiply the number times the number twice. 
 
     Square Roots. Well, I don't know about you, but I always wondered to myself why they have that name. I believe, that now I have understood how they got their name, or at least I think I do. I believe that they got their name, because it was just a simply way to shorten a long equation. For example 4 to the 5th power. The creators that made the name of the square roots, just probably wanted to shorten the equation, instead of saying 4*4*4*4*4. 
     Have you ever thought in mind a new name for the square root? I know I haven't. But, now that I have been learning a little bit more about square roots, I think I would call them two roots.

 
     When a positive number is not equal to zero the zero is raised to a negetive power. This happenes for a reason. You may know a reason that I don't, but it's fine as long as you know what you're doing and get the correct anwser for the math problem/equation.
      For example 5 to the 2nd power is equal to 1/21. This is for a reason. 
 
     In math we have talked about exponents. Exponents can be easy or hard, just depends what's your point of view. For example, for me they are easy. You just have to make sure you don't get confused, and multiply the two numbers together. While reading this you might be wondering, "Well what is an exponent?" Don't worry I will help you and tell you what an exponent is.
     An exponent is any number that is on the top right hand corner of any number. For example if you see a number that is on top of another number, then you know that's an exponent. 
 
     In computers, my teacher (Mr.Kimbley) told us that we had the ath teachers (Mr.Dorman and Mrs.Pope) gave him a game that we had to play, then wtite it as our blogs. It was a game about the difference in numbers. We had to use either integers, money, whole numbers, or fractions. But, I did all three as instructed. 
     After a couple of times I played I got pretty good. I was pretty easy, because we had already covered the topics. They were topics of the beginning of the year. I had learned that I have to be carefull, and read the problem carefully. I also learned that negetives can trick you, so you have to pay close attention. 
 
     In math, we have been talking about inequalitys. For example, we have been talking about how to graph the inequalitys.  There can be many ways to graph the inequalitys. But, my teacher has only focused on two ways. The first way is with a shaded in circle. The second is, just a plain circle. 
     I believe that there are two ways to do this for one great reason. It is, because if the circle is shaded, then that means the problem is either less then equal to, or greater than equal to.
