Alright, I know what your thinking: "Dude, homework's boring, why would I wanna see that?" Well, what I say to that is this:
People around here are awesome; I'm sure they smuggle some funny comments/inside jokes into their homework. Or they've done some awesome art homework that they wanna show off. Or something. Like these notes I made for drama yesterday:

Yeah, that was a Pokémon reference. I then had to perform this, and one of my friends who got the reference just burst out laughing while I was saying "Like no-one ever was". I completely lost track and had to start again... :l

I have Algebra II homework, it looks something like this:

Without graphing, classify each system as independent, dependent, or inconsistent.
2y = 5x + 6
-10x + 4y = 8

Ah, but I believe you are wrong. Let's look at the original problem and work it through. :3

y - (-3) = 2 (x - 6)

Now with this you'll see that it's a negative times a negative, making a positive, on the left side. The right side is easy distributing as well. You'll end up with this.

y + 3 = 2x - 12

And now you just subtract 3.

y = 2x - 15

So yeah, that's what answer I got before. The negative thingy was probably confusing. :u Really I'd need a picture of the actual problem in the book to confirm this or something.

Can't you tell I'm bored?

Heres A Fitness quizz and the study guide we used for it today!.............Thank God we Didn't have to run 5 miles again..

Lesson 1: Cardiovascular FitnessFor your body to make cardiovascular gains, you must take part in aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise increases your heart rate and increases the circulation of oxygen through the blood.

In addition to promoting a healthy heart and circulatory system, aerobic exercise has other benefits. It increases lung power (by increasing the amount of oxygen being supplied to the heart and lungs). It increases bone strength. It even releases endorphins – brain chemicals that are natural mood-boosters.

Certain aerobic exercises stimulate the cells that strengthen your bones. These include walking, running, tennis, climbing stairs, and aerobics. In general, if you’re standing up while working out, the activity helps with bone building.

Aerobic exercise needs to be maintained for a minimum of 20-30 minutes to reap cardiovascular benefits. With all the different types of exercise, you need to know if you are working hard enough to make these gains.
1. How long should aerobic exercise be maintained?
2.Which aerobic exercises stimulate the cells that strengthen bones?
3.What increases Lung Power?
4.What are Endorphins?

I did a lot of stuff today.

First of all, I have this Physics problem that I need to solve:
If a faulty thermometer reads 5 degree Celsius when placed in pure melting ice, and 120 degree Celsius when placed in steam, (a) Calculate the correct temperature if this thermometer reads 90 degree Celsius. (b) Calculate the reading of the theremometer if the correct temperature is 40 degree Celsius.

Now I answered part A as 73.9 and part B as 46. I am still not sure, so I have to ask my teacher tomorrow. If anyone who takes Physics or Maths and can solve it before tomorrow, then I am grateful.

I also did a Chemistry homework about oxidation and reduction.
I have some stupid art I did in the same business book of AnathemA because I am always bored at this period.

I have to write a 6-10 page essay on a matter of improvement within my major. Everything stated must be cited, no personal opinion allowed. The essay is to be handed in with a memo of transmittal, executive summary, title page, table of contents, references (minimum of 10), and appropriate appendixes. Research must include a student survey, and interviews of professors are preferred.

It's due this Tuesday. I've got 3 1/2 pages, all 10 references (2 of which are professor interviews not yet completed) and all the fancy extra stuff except the executive summary and a finished TOC.

I then am set up for December 2nd to give an oral presentation on it. A power point covering all the basics of my findings is required, plus an extra visual aid is also required. The presentation is supposed to be exactly 7-10 minutes long. No more, no less. Every um or uh is a dock in points as well...

In total, it's about a 15 page research essay of regurgitated facts suggesting an idea to improve my major that is guaranteed not to happen, which I then have to present to a classroom full of students who couldn't care less about anything that I have to say.
fun fun fun...

I just remembered I had to do my after-school program homework too, which my math is actually a few months ahead of my school.

Here's some questions I had:

1. Find the roots of the quadratic equation and obtain their sum and product (α+β and αβ)
x²-2x-8=0
x²-7x+5=0
3x²+2x+5=0
ax²+bx+c=0

2. Use the two given roots to obtain the quadratic equation.

α=3+√5, β=3-√5
α=2+√3i, β=2-√3i
α=2+3i, 2-3i

3. Given that the quadratic equation x²-3x+1=0 has 2 different roots, create a quadratic equation, so that each of its roots will be 1 more than the corresponding root of the given quadratic equation.

4. Given that the quadratic equation x²-12x+k=0 has the roots α and α², first determine the value of α and use that to find the value of k.

We're doing quadratic equations in maths right now! I'm finding it fairly easy so far.

Factorising the first question there would give:

Yeah, it's completely different.

Here's how the first problem is actually done:

x²-2x-8
α+β = -b/a = -(-2)/1 = 2
αβ = c/a = -8/1 = -8

So the answer to the first problem would be:
α+β = 2
αβ = -8


It's supposed to be helpful in graphing or something. >_>

1- Since we recently started the Shakespearean play "Julius Caesar" in English Literature, we have an assignment to paraphrase a conversation between two characters named Brutus and Cassius.

2- As a practice for the mid-term English Language exam, we have to complete some answers for a past paper in our copybooks. This includes two, one-page long questions: the first is about language awareness, and the second is a summary of two different passages.

3- I need to complete my personal Physics revision for the mid-term exam which is just around the corner (next Sunday).

Lets see...
-My Oral presentation on the paper I mentioned earlier (powerpoint is done, but I gotta practice)
-Finish my Final Website for Web Design
-Take a whole crap-load of 50 question practice tests I didn't get done earlier (did 14/18 today...it hurts your brain) (yea, I should've took them earlier...leave me alone )

On Top of that...

Next Week is finals week
I have 5 classes, so that's 5 finals. (1 is just a "last test" instead of a "final" )
Plus, I have 3 tests to take THIS week...

8 tests, 4 of which are comprehensive, for 5 classes. And I have to study for all of them.
But oh boy, We'll be done for the year after that!

if only the year took longer than a month to end... ._.
Then back to classes straightaway on the 3rd.

Wait...Sunday?!? That would cause an outrage here if we had to do any sort of school (aside from homework) on a Sunday.

We're learning about Pythagorean Theorem, and it's all like "Exact Values of a square root" and some Polynomials along with it (8th grade)

I have to do some homework on Inequalities involving Triangles, but that's not the main problem.

I have lots of English homework. Here's my agenda for English (note that I have English every other day, like all of my classes):

(Today) December 1st: Grammar Test - Capitalization, discuss Romeo and Juliet

December 3rd: Romeo and Juliet Socratic Seminar, brainstorming for 5-paragraph Romeo and Juliet essay.

December 7th: Test on Romeo and Juliet, Thesis statement and Opening statements of 5-paragraph essay due.

December 9th: First draft of 5-paragraph essay due.

December 13th: Final draft of 5-paragraph essay due, Grammar Test - Pronoun Usage

December 15th: Vocabulary Test, Ender's Game Socratic Seminar, Ender's Game Double-entry journals (issued prior to today) due.

December 17th: Ender's Game test, work on Ender's Game think piece over winter vacation (due January 3rd)

As you can see, I have a lot on my plate for English. X_X

Tried to take a pic of my Algebra homework with my crappy phone camera. We're learning about adding and subtracting polynomials.

Lately I've been completely overwhelmed with projects, tests and homework because our 2nd term reports have to be in soon. I had an English commercial due yesterday where we had to create a project then make a short fake ad to advertise it. My group did fairly well, but we're waiting to see our mark. In French class we're creating boardgames that have minimum requirement of 70 questions about the French language and conjugation, etc... That happens to be due Friday and we're almost done. For Science I have an overdue Power Point (that's what you get for not having PP at home and the teacher giving no in-class time) on space and stuff... It's not hard, I just have other priorities. Oh and I have a test tomorrow in Science which I haven't studied for, but I never study.

Have a look at OpenOffice.org. It's like Microsoft Office, except it's free. It's very similar, but a little different and I don't think there are quite as many features... It can also save files as Microsoft Office documents, so you can use them at school and stuff.

I have an ICT test on Sunday. It is about MS Access. It should be easy, except the formulas that are really confusing. On the same day, I have a Maths test. It shouldn't be hard as long as I revise properly. On Monday, I have Business and Biology tests. The Business test is about Marketing Mix: Place while the Biology test is about the Nervous System and the Eye. On Wednesday, I have a Chemistry test about Reversible Reactions and Metals. So yeah, it is going to be a week packed with tests.

Today I have to finish notes on 11 more pages about World War 1, then do some graphing for Algebra. I forget what the things we're graphing are called but an example would be something like

x(squared)-4
------------
x+2

Cool division bar bro

Somehow, I feel like the things I'm doing in math at my after-school program are all variations of something incredibly simple, made more difficult. For example:

Determine the value of the proportion (bc+ca)/ab = (ca+ab)/bc = (ab+bc)/ca if
a) ab+bc+ca ≠ 0
b) ab+bc+ca = 0

To work a...
1. Make (bc+ca)/ab = (ca+ab)/bc = (ab+bc)/ca = k
2. Create these 3 equations:
bc+ca=abk
ca+ab=bck
ab+bc=ack
3. Add all three equations together: 2ab+2bc+2ca = abk + bck + ack
4. Simplify: 2(ab+bc+ca) = k(ab+bc+ca)
5. Divide both sides by (ab+bc+ca): 2 = k
6. Substitute the value of k into the proportion: (bc+ca)/ab = (ca+ab)/bc = (ab+bc)/ca = 2.

To solve b...
1. Form three equations from ab+bc+ac = 0:
bc+ca=-ab
ab+bc=-ca
ab+ac=-bc
2. Substitute them into the proportion:
-ab/ab = -bc/bc = -ac/ac
-1 = -1 = -1
3. Add to the equation: (bc+ca)/ab = (ca+ab)/bc = (ab+bc)/ca = -1.

That's about the gist of it. I don't see how this helps me any. XD

We took variations and proportions two weeks ago. As I expected, I forgot what variation and proportion are. I blame my rubbish memory. But I have to study them tomorrow due to Sunday's test. I am not really confident nor interested... Anyway, just as an advice, although it seems it only works with me, but if I want to do some hard maths problem, I won't be able to think until I use a pencil. Try that out, it can help you with hard cases. But yeah, what you just posted is I suppose an easy matter.

I need to copy the work which I missed on Thursday due to the debate practice. Other than that, I need to revise for the Maths test tomorrow. I don't really have to do anything for the practical ICT test, which is also for tomorrow, but I might take a look at the formulas in queries/reports (Microsoft Access) to fully understand them. It shouldn't be too hard.
