How to Use Algebra 2 Help Functions

How to Use Algebra 2 Help FunctionsAlgebra 2 Help Functions can do many things for students. This may not be a question, but it is very important for the student to know the importance of knowing the tools he or she will use in an algebra class. One is the resources that students will get to use in the classroom. Since there are quite a number of resources, there are also very different types of tools which one will get to use, in learning the process.There are two different kinds of formulas: the Proportional and Exponential Formulas. These two help functions work with one's inputs as well as outputs, and in a specific order. There are more than one other type of formulas that are more advanced. They can even come from the industry; they can even be used in engineering programs to teach students to solve complex equations.One may have to ask himself if it is actually better to use these formulas. It really depends on the student's level. The two formulas may not necessarily be the s ame for every student. Different students might have different needs.One other thing that should be considered, is the kind of problem that one is going to face. Students who already know how to use formulas will most likely get it easier than those who are still learning. On the other hand, those who are still learning will probably find it very difficult to learn to use them.So, do you think that one or the other formula will work better for one? Of course, both are beneficial, but when they are compared, it depends on the situation. There are some students who have problems using the Exponential Formula. In this case, they can always use the Proportional Formula, to solve their problems.Other students will need to try each of the formulas before finding out which one works best. Some students will find one at first, while some others will only use the one they have been told about. It depends on each student's abilities and what they are comfortable with.Knowing the different typ es of formulas in algebra is very important for students. They will be able to handle their algebra problems in a better way if they know the different types.

Changes to ACT essay scores are coming in September

Changes to ACT essay scores are coming in September 2016 has been a year of change for the college admission testing landscape with the introduction of the new SAT in March, and that change appears poised to continue with a revision of the ACT essay’s scoring structure set to debut in September.The ACT unwittingly ignited controversy with its shift in September 2015 to a new essay task and scoring scale.  Beginning with that testing date, the revised ACT essay has been scored on the same 36-point scale as the rest of the test.However, many students reported scores on the ACT essay that were significantly lower than their composite scores on the multiple-choice portion of the ACT (differences of 10 points were not unheard of).   Moreover, some students who paid $50 to have the ACT re-score their essay saw large jumps in their essay scores that called into question the reliability and consistency of the ACT’s essay grading process. The ACT contended that while the essay is scored on the same 36-point scale as the other sections of the test, scores across multiple sections are not intended to be compared to each other.  Rather, the ACT recommends that students look at their percentiles for each section to gauge their relative performance.Last month, the ACT acknowledged the confusion created by the scoring change and revealed that it plans to move to a 2-to-12 score range for the ACT writing test.  This change will take effect with the September 2016 administration of the ACT.According to the ACT, the writing task itself will continue in its current form, as will the four domains on which students’ essays are graded (ideas and analysis, development and support, organization, and language use and conventions).  Beginning with this year’s September ACT, the scores in the four domains (each scored from 2-12) will be averaged to yield an overall ACT writing score between 2 and 12.Hopefully this move towards clarity on the ACT’s part will produce greater consistency in ACT writing scores a change that wou ld be appreciated by students and colleges alike.To learn more about AJ Tutorings test prep and academic programs please call (650) 331-3251 or email us at info@ajtutoring.com

What to Consider When Deciding Between Two Job Offers

What to Consider When Deciding Between Two Job Offers Photo by JD Mason on Unsplash Outline what you are looking for in a job Everyone has a wish list or at least a few ideas of what they would want in their ideal job position an easy way to start out your decision is to outline what exactly you are looking for in a job. This can serve as somewhat of a guideline of what to look for in the two job offers you are deciding between. You can list out the obvious features that most people would think of: ideal pay, location, hours, and benefits like health insurance and vacation time. Think of what kind of expectations are placed on you when you accept the position. Are you working an entry-level job where you are just going to be making copies and doing coffee runs? Or are you going to be expected to already have an advanced skill set coming into the job? Pick the job that will give you the amount of work (and pressure) you want and are willing to accept. Something that isnt often considered, especially with people so worried about their salary, is the type of  work environment  that each job offers. Between every person, the ideal work environment can differ vastly and its important to consider each job offers work environment before accepting because it can affect how you view each job. For example, if you prefer to work best in a collaborative environment with friendly coworkers, you wont want to be accepting a job offer that has you confined to your own cubicle and crunching numbers. Or if you prefer to rely on yourself, consider what your job description entails and the type of tasks you will be expected to perform on a daily basis. Where can this job take you? This question is especially important for recent college graduates considering their first full-time job post-graduation. You most likely wont be working at your first job for the rest of your career, so it is important to consider where each job offer can take you career-wise before accepting. Consider the type of work you are expected to do in the position and how that will help you build experience for later in your career. Working at a larger-known company may sound more appealing, but if you are only going to be going on coffee runs, you may be better off accepting a job offer from a smaller company that is willing to work with recent college graduates and give them experience. You dont want to stay stagnant once you take either job offer, so try inquiring what the possibilities for upward mobility or increases in pay are. If you expect to stay at the job for long, or maybe each job offer isnt quite offering what you want in terms of experience or pay, possibilities to improve either one can make an initial job offer much more appealing. When you think of the position that comes with each job offer, how does it contribute to your overall career? It can be a good starting point a stepping stone until a better offer comes along, offering you hands-on experience in your field, networking opportunities, or another few lines on your resume. Think of your ideal endgame situation and what kind of company or position you want to end up at in the peak of your career. Think of how each job position affects your ideal path. Do you get a lot of hands-on work with one job, but have low pay or a less-than-ideal location. Or are you going to be receiving a good starting salary but not be given the type of work you need? Its important to define what you are willing to give up in order to get places prior to accepting any job offer. No job is going to be perfect, so dont burden yourself with thinking that the job offer you are going to be taking is going to be the one to make or break your career. Remember to take your individual preferences into consideration when deciding between two job offers and that you alone have the power to choose what job offer is best for you.

AIDS Awareness

Knowing Your StatusHIV/AIDS Awareness Photo by Trygve.u via Flickr.com September 27, 2012 was National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. The PRIDE agency on campus held HIV/AIDS testing for any gay male who wanted to get tested. Testing was done at PRIDE’s LGBTQ Resource Center, located at the Union second floor room A211. People from Thagard and Leon County came to test. Testing was done between  on September 27th  on September 27thfrom 1pm- 4pm. All tests were rapid 20 minute tests, so you don’t have to wait so many weeks wondering the worst. As an incentive for getting tested as well those who were tested were given a $5 gift card to a business of choice. A $5 gift card  shouldnt  be what brings gay men in to get tested however. Gay men should want to know their status. It’s like getting that yearly physical. It’s not pleasant, but it’s all for a better living quality. It is one of my beliefs that knowledge is power. The more we know the more we can do. HIV/AIDS testing  isnt  something to worry about. It is an examination, one that can help you in the long run. In this life there are many things we are worried about, things we know nothing about. One thing we can know is our own status. The process is painless. Depending how you get it done. At PRIDE’s LGBTQ Resource Center they were doing rapid testing. A 20 minute wait is the max you would wait. You just had to fill out some paper work, swab your gums with special swab that will show if you’re negative or positive. It’s quick and easy. PRIDE is an agency for Florida State University as a part of Student Government. It works towards educated and helping any in regards to LGBTQ issues. They are mostly known for the drag show they put on every first Friday of the fall and spring semester. Yet,  theyve  do more than that. Such as free HIV testing that was held on September 27th.  They have done free HIV/AIDS testing regularly at their resource center before. Next month they plan a week of events for Coming Out Week, in celebrating National Coming Day. Also, they host an Alternative Prom every spring for those who  didnt  spent their prom in high school the way they wanted to. Simply by knowing your status and keeping up with it can change many lives. Knowing is just half the battle. If you know what something is you know how to deal with it. It’s no longer a boogie man in the shadows.

A Crash Course in Biology

A Crash Course in BiologyIf you have ever dreamed of being a biologist, but you've never taken a biology class, you may find yourself in for quite a shock. A crash course biology would give you a first hand lesson on what makes our bodies work. Just take it from someone who has studied it all.Organic chemistry is the study of materials and properties that make up the physical world. One of the topics that most people take in college is organic chemistry. Most students may not be familiar with the idea of using heredity as an example for something that is learned in organic chemistry. A crash course in heredity may help people to understand a little bit more about the fact that things are built by genes.When people think of genetics, they think of genes that control the ability to reproduce themselves, so to speak. They think of a group of people that might be subject to diseases or retardation, but when people talk about heredity, they might think of people having traits passed down to them. Heredity is a term that is used to refer to traits, traits that are passed down from generation to generation.Race is defined as ethnicity. People that come from different parts of the world have different races. Some of the most common traits that people will tell you are passed down genetically include eye color, hair color, body type, and skin type.Chemists have explained the basic molecules that are responsible for the formation of life. This is how heredity makes it possible for us to look at certain things and understand them.The classic example of heredity is how yellow people are made to look. Everyone that has lived on this planet can see how a mutation in a gene can lead to an orange skin. The genes that decide how a person looks are genetic and a person that has a certain mutation in their genes could have a completely different skin color than another person. People do not look in the mirror and wonder why they don't look like a certain celebrity, because they a lready know the answer.If you have ever been interested in getting into a biology class, you may be surprised by how much biology has to do with the way that you look and the way that you act. When you find out how much of a crash course in heredity you can take, you will find that this is something that will help you become more successful. Don't wait until you have to go back to school, try and get your class started as soon as possible.
