This is my test question:
Solve for x: ln6+ln(x−2)=−2
(Express your answer correct to 3 decimal places.)

Here is the method I used to get the answer:

ln[6(x-6)]=-2
ln(6x-12)=-2
(e^-2)=6x-12
6x=(e^-2)+12
x=(e^-2)+12/6
x=2.022 556
x=2.023

Homework Ban!

In this class we were asked to read this article: http://tiny.cc/homeworkban it was about kids having too much homework. I can see some kids having a lot to do, but their solution to the problem is to not have anymore. I personally feel that this is not the best way to deal with the problem. To get better at anything you must practice it, yes there are people with natural talent but that can only take you so far. It's much like a sport, the players who have little talent can quickly become better than the naturally talented players by just working harder and with more practice. So I would say don't cut out all the homework, but don't take it as marks. There will be kids that take it all and do it all, and kids who do little to none. You will see how they progress and do on tests as a reflection of how much they do and their natural ability.

Probability!

Today we started probability. This is one of my favorite units! I can't wait to get this started. I really like it because it has always been very straight forward for me. You may think I'm joking, I'm not really. This will be a fun unit. Lets keep making outfits as well, just so Bobbie bear can go on vacation!

Excel Fun!

Today you told me to not fool around on my computer, it was also one of the days I really paid attention. You also reminded me to do my math, I will get on that just for you. I'm also very sorry I haven't posted in a while, I will keep on top of all this. Those were my Remembrance day resolutions.
