To quote a dear friend (*smilegrin* I hate you, Rachel!), "I'm winning at life!"
Why am I winning?
While Carly and I fought with our calculators to learn how to use such beautiful functions as these "window size" and "trace" and "abs()" and "inf()" inovations, my teacher was recapping how to graph absolute value equations. Well, it's been two years since I bothered to do this and Carly and I were occupied figuring out how to make a calculator do it for us, so I completely missed this, and angsted over that, Moose's impending death, and the fact that I might have had to miss tomorrow's tech info meeting all through work.
Then, I realized that by using the calculator, the wondrous formula that is y=a|x-h|+k, and my prior knowledge of the y=mx+b formula, I could not only graph them by hand like I was supposed to, but I could do it more easily than I had in 8th grade! Not only that, but I figured out a whole bunch of cool stuff on my calculator in the process!
God, I love math! And my TI83!
This was exciting for me.
On top of that, I didn't see Moose, so I lost the urge to kick him, I hit a target in archery, I can go to the tech info meeting, I watched NCIS and I'm winning at life!
YAY!
