Me: It's just I got my chemistry and maths tests back, and I got 70's, and when that happens I just feel really stupid. ;n; I wish intelligence wasn't measured by maths and sciences in my school.

[Jo]

Me: So before I go to bed, I'll recap the people I hate list. My dad, my sister, and people with nothing in their heads.

[Vanessa]

Me: :( Aw, Jo. *hug*

Me: That will change :) You're an incredibly smart girl and don't let yourself get weighed down. Everyone knows that highschool is about pushing yourself - willpower - motivation, not about smarts or intelligence which you will discover that roughly 90% of the people going to your school do not have, even if 40% of them are straight A students that excel at maths and sciences.

[Jo]

Me: *glomps Whim* I just hate it when friends are airheads.

:( *glomps Jo*

[Vanessa]

Me: -._.- Mmm, thanks Whim. I have no other face to make. xD

Yeah. How do you find the asymptotes for logs and expotential functions?

@Ivi, I posted at the Lake :) http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/6...

Me: （・∀・）~

I'm bored right now so I'm going to draw all our characters as naminals. :3

[Jo]

Me: It was Argo. They kept babbling out things like, "Wait, when did thus guy come in? Why is everyone a hipster?" -.- Please, people, get a brain.

[Jo]

Me: ^Draw Erin the Canary! xD

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: right, so for the exponential function f(x)=a^x, (where a > 0) the asymptote is always the x-axis. When you have f(x)= (a^x) + w, then the entire graph will shift up (see the unless w is negative, in which case it would shift down) w units, including the asymptote, so the asymptote is y= w. there is no vertical asymptote for an exponential function. So if w = 3, the asymptote is y = 3. If w = -2 then y = -2. Let me find the one for the log.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: do you understand the other properties of exponential functions?

Me: Yay! :D

[Vanessa]

Me: Yeah, I do.

OK, so I completely understood that but I lost points on my test and I don't know why. :/ I put x = -5, and the graph shows the curve leveling out at -5 and not going any farther. I thought perhaps I was missing the vertical asymptote, but they don't have any, so.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: right, so logarithms are the inverses of exponential equations, so the x of the exponential equation is the y of the log and vice versa. Given the function f(x) = log a (x), in which a>0, a=/= 0, and is the base of the log, and x > 1:
The asymptote will be the y-axis. There is no horizontal asymptote. Also, the input of a logarithmic function can never be negative. More on that later. So just like how if you added or subtracted a number after the input of the exponential, the entire graph would shift, if you add or subtract something within the logarithmic function, its graph will shift along with the asymptote.
Given the function: f(x) = log a (x + w) where w is a real number. The graph would shift left w units, and "become more negative," so to speak. If w = 2, then the asymptote would become x = -2 and the entire graph would shift left 2 units. If w = -5, then the asymptote would be x = 5 and the graph would shift right 5 units. When shifting back and forth ("transforming") along the x-axis, it's important to remember that the sign that causes the shift is the opposite of what you'd expect. Positive shifts left, negative shifts right.

Me: it should follow the asymptote closely without touching to the edge of the graph. What was the question?

[Vanessa]

Me: The question was: Identify a possible parent function and asymptotes for the following graphs. I got full points on the parent functions, but I only got 2 out of three on the asymptotes.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: the asymptote would be x = 0 for the natural log.

[.]

Me: o_o

.... Ivi? I posted at the lake ^_^;;;

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: Sorry~ I'm going. I was helping Van with math and then everything sort of fell apart.

[Vanessa]

Me: xD It did. Math got thrown out the window.

[.]

Me: xD It's okay!!! I just didn't know if you'd seen or not. Continue on helping Van if needs be *pompous wave*

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: guys i've been obsessed with this game: http://phoboslab.org/ztype/

[Vanessa]

Me: *click*

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

ME; type the words as they appear on screen~

[Vanessa]

Me: I'm a beast at this.

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: I got to 40 on normal I think? Around 20 something for Expert. It gets really hard.

[Vanessa]

Me: It's so fuuun. <3

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: Right? :3

[Vanessa]

Me: I'm gonna head off to bed. Night~

[Iviana (The Sign Painter)]

Me: Night~

[.]

Me: Cecil and Ingrid will be fun to roleplay. I'm imagining all the things they did to each other through their childhood - worms in sandwiches, etc. Maybe Cecil could have put a Boggart in her (gigantic) closet as an elaborate heist and as a result she was traumatized for a week. Now they're on an uneasy truce?

[Jo]

Me: I hate second position. I"m too used to first, third and fifth. >_<

[.]

Me: For ballet? o_O

[Jo]

Me: xD On violin. It's how high your fingers are on the fingerboard. On first, third and fifth position the notes on the lines fall on uneven numbers for fingers and notes in spaces fall on even numbers for fingers. With second, fourth, and sixth it's the opposite. It's a little confusing.

[.]

Me: Hahaha I was just going to say second position is really common :P

Ahhh. That does sound complicated. o_o

[Vanessa]

Me: So Jo, I let my little cousin Kimberly listen to that sonata you sent me, and she was just so impressed and awed. xD It was too cute.

[.]

Me: Awwww :3

[Jo]

Me: :D Wow!

I changed it because it's been played by almost everyone of my level. So I switched to this Corelli sonata. And I lurrve it. xD

[Vanessa]

Me: Send it to meeeee if you can. :3 I love the first one.

I should practise my sonata. xD

[Jo]

Me: The prelude is completely to my liking, the allemande is a bit annoying, the Adagio is awesome and the Gigue is mindblowing. I love this sonata.

I just watched Brave and can't get rod of the Scottish soundtrack in my head. xD

Me: Oh yes. XD

[Vanessa]

Me: That reminds me of Culleeeen. xD

[Jo]

Me: Cullen! I still remember! :D

Did you draw the animal characters after all

[Vanessa]

Me: I got distracted, so I didn't finish. xD I only drew Rosaline and Erin.

I saw a cockroach the size of a f/cking thumb in my bathroom and it was gross, wiggling its nasty little feeler sh/ts at me. Christ. >.>

[Jo]

Me: Aww. I wanted to see Cecil snuggled up to Rosaline. Or is it backwards? XD

O.O RUN.

[Vanessa]

Me: D: I can't find the paper. I think it got mixed up with my schoolwork.

It was last night. I brought it up because I just found a spider on my desk.

[Jo]

Me: ;n; Aww!

I hate all the little creepers. I kill them on sight, especially the Junebugs.

[Vanessa]

Me: I'll just make a new one after I finish my homework.

I don't mind spiders. I just catch them and set them free, because normally they're tiny. Cockroaches scare me really badly, though, because we had an infestation of them in our house when I was little.
