Conics are surprisingly easy! There are four types of conic sections‚ circles‚ parabolas‚ ellipses‚ and hyperbolas. The first type of conic‚ and easiest to spot and solve‚ is the circle. The standard form for the circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2. The x-axis and y-axis radius are the same‚ which makes sense because it is a circle‚ and from In order to graph an ellipse in standard form‚ the center is first plotted (the (h‚ k)). Then‚ the x-radius is plotted on both sides of the center‚ and the y-radius

into helping global climate change because rising sea levels are dangering the land‚ there is a major decrease in arctic ice‚ and rising temperatures are causing more animal species to go on the endangered list. Some may argue that ice and glaciers have been growing and receding for hundreds of years‚ but they will always grow back again. However‚ for the past 100 years though‚ arctic ice and glaciers have been decreasing at an alarmingly fast rate. Glaciers have slowly been getting smaller and smaller

The Ecological Imperialism: The Biological Expansion of Europe from 900-1900 details the reasoning for the easy transition of life in Europe to the conquered lands‚ which Alfred W. Crosby calls “Neo-Europes”. It was published by Cambridge University Press in 1986 and is 311 pages long‚ though it does not seem like it when reading. Crosby is a historian most famous for his other publication‚ Columbian Exchange. He is currently a professor at the University of Texas at Austin and has taught at Washington

Few events in the history of this planet have as significantly‚ or as quickly‚ shattered the equilibrium of the natural order as thoroughly as the expansion across the globe of Europeans during the last millennium. Although Europeans can be found today throughout the world‚ outside of Europe itself‚ they tend to be unevenly dispersed‚ congregating in latitudinal zones of similar climate. In Ecological Imperialism: The Biological Expansion of Europe‚ 900-1900 Alfred W. Crosby attempts to explain why

Metaphor Analysis The Chalk Circle The chalk circle is a symbol of truth. Within the circle‚ all will be revealed. In the play‚ Azdak cannot come to a rational decision on who should have the child. His methods of justice are not by the Book of Statutes he sits upon. By putting the women in a circle and observing them act towards the child‚ he can see which woman is best for it. The circle levels the playing ground‚ removing the advantage of money or rank or history. There are no distractions

Inconvenient Fallacies in the Great Global Warming Swindle. Throughout the documentary entitled The Great Global Warming Swindle‚ which is a direct response in the hope to refute the claims by Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth‚ numerous fallacies can be detected if one has the patience to sit through the duration of this dry film. Repeatedly in the film‚ when global warming is discussed they use weak analogies with it to make global warming a positive thing; snazzy jazz music will play
