September 26, 2008

There was a substitute teacher today.
Agenda
  1. POW 8 : A Spin on Transitivity, page: 277
  2. Read on Asymptotes, page: 288
  3. Classwork: The End of a Function

Homework

  1. Homework 12: Creating the Ending You Want, page:290, #'s 1 and 2

The POW is refering to transitive relationships. For example, if Joe is shorter than Kelsey and Kelsey is shorter than Matt, then Joe must be shorter than Matt. Another example would be, if $20 is greater than $10 and $10 is greater than $5, then $20 must be greater than $5. An example of a non-transitive relationship would be like a game of rock, paper, scissors. Where rock may be scissors, and scissors beats paper but then rock certainly cannot beat paper.

Good example of a non transitive relationship.
