10 Problems for the Game

1)Easy: the estimated raise in your population if your square root was 45

2)Easy: you have a meteoroid storm heading straight for your planet do you want to use your $45 dollars (or how ever much) to raise new technology to block the meteoroid from hitting your planet or do you choose to decrease in population by 5-10% because a meteorite hit the surface (people are happy with your decision and they give you 10 dollars in total

3)Hard: 2x+10y=50 (something that will have money+population and resources all together)

4)Easy: x+5=30 Maybe this can be calculated as resources

5)Medium: 7z*3a (over) 7z*1

6)Have a question asking what are real numbers and how could they be used in this game as money or any other way

7)After the question about real number should come a one about rational numbers because (if i can say so my self) they are one of the most confusing and forgettable in the whole table

8)There should be a ultimate question won if you get right will give you 100% population 100% money and 100% resources. if you miss you only end up with 5% population and nothing else. This may be like an dangers eclipse of some sort.

9)Medium-hard:Simplify the square root of 10/11 if you do what ever the number is you will get the money

10) A retrieve question which can help you out when you have no more things to relay on

Radical Expressions

Solve the following:
1a) square root of 45 (extra information)
How i solved this is by first looking at the the square roots closest to the number 45. The one before it is 36 (6*6) while the one over it is 47 (7*7) When i finish this step i had to see which one 45 was closer to in this case its a no brainer. From 45 to 47 its 2 numbers from 36 to 45 its 9. So I knew after i did this that the estimated number were looking for (the square root has to be larger then .5 because its over the half way line. So my estimate was 6.7 and then to get a little fancier (closer to 45 or atleast thats what i think) i just added a 3 so the final answer would be 6.73. Now to check your work just take,
6.73*6.73= 45.2929 which is pretty close to 45

1b) Simplify square root of 45
This may sound confusing but it's really easy to do. You find two numbers that can go into 45 but at least one has to have a square root. So it would be the square root of 9 times the square root of 5. This is when the square rooting comes in. Square root of 9=3. There is no whole number square root to 5 so we just leave it 5 making our problem 3 times the square root of 5

2) Simplify square root of 12 divided by the square root of 3
starting of you would first divide 12 with 3 which would give you 4 which in our math world is perfect because 4 has a square root which is 2. Coming to our answer fast and easy.

One Idea For Math Game

One idea that came to mind when thinking about our game was, what will the people who are out do. Somehow everybody has to be involved no matter how long we play or who loses, but of course people have to go out, its in the nature of the game. So I though of a think called second chance. Once a player has come to the lowest point he can get he can choose a hard card (only) and he can go all in or choose to stay out, it all depends on his choice. If the player gets the answer right he gets 1 of everything. By this I mean population (people) houses, and resources putting him back in the game. However if he messes the question up he loses everything and is out of the game. I also just thought of a card where a player (if he gets it incorrect) must lend 2% of his population to another player. These aren't all the way thought out, but would certainly make the game better (in my opinion)

Picture from Todays Math Class

In the picture below you will see what my class mates and I did all by our self's without any help from the teacher. This was the very first problem which we created for our planets using from little help to no help at all from the teacher

In the picture you will see that the two lines (which are our planets) intercept at exactly (5,20) Here is the picture!

(Sorry for picture being sideways, I tried many was to change it but it just did not want to work)

Donkey Poo

"Solving system of equations helps you make smart choices"
-Mr McKenzie

Planet 1= Zoolander
Planet 2= callmemaybe

There are 2 planets. Planet Zoolander already had 10 mt of oxygen while planet callmemaybe had 5 mt. Planet Zoolander oxygen which is produce from donkey poo raises 2 mt each week. Whilst planet callmemaybe rises 4 mt each week. This information is extremely important to what were doing next.

How would you write this scenario in different forms such as the three below:

-Slope intercept form
-Standered form


Starting of with the slope interecpt form which would look a little something like this: 2x+10=4x+5

Secondly we will solve for the standered form: 2x+10=y  make y into zero find x, after that make x into zero and find y. Do the same thing to 4x+5=y and you have your answer.

What is the Point of Point Slope Form?

This kind of equation consists of a problem in which you have the variables inside the number graphing line. Ex (1x,1y) In other words you have the point and the slope (which as you may remember from last class equals m.) Because each of these standered slope intercept forms have some sort of formula so does this one. This ones unlike the others like i said is placed as the numbers would be when wanting to graph when given the problem, but The formula however looks like this:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
The point of this form is to find lines with slopes that go through points (look at the picture below)

Greater then, Less then, Equal too

We were given the assignment to calculate who would finish faster in digging the wholes on our planet the humans or the machines, plus to that we have to use the words greater then, less then or equal to in sentence from.

We found out by our data/questions which is:

6:00 people started digging with shovels and picks. They dug at a pace of 8 meter per hour in depth. Later in the day around 9:00 the machine started digging with their drills they drilled at about 14 meters per hour.

Even by not doing and equational work we can see that during a period of time the machines will eventually over take the humans and have more work done. Now at what time will they be the same (depth wise not time) In 56 meters the two (humans and machines) will be equal to everything after that point the machines would carry the win and be greater then, however before the 56 meters the machines had less then the humans.
