The document discusses counterexamples and how they can disprove conjectures or general statements. It provides examples of counterexamples, such as a rectangle with an odd perimeter disproving the conjecture that a rectangle's perimeter can never be odd. It also notes that only one counterexample is needed to prove a conjecture false.

Proof by contradiction
This document discusses proof by contradiction, a form of indirect proof used to establish the truth of a statement. It does this by assuming the statement is false and then showing this assumption leads to a logical contradiction, proving the statement must be true. The document provides examples of using proof by contradiction to show a number is irrational, and to prove statements about even and odd integers. It also outlines the basic steps of proof by contradiction.
Doug's Truck project
The document summarizes work done over two summers to restore a truck cab. It describes picking up the cab in Detroit to replace the original, taking out the old cab, sandblasting and priming the cab and frame, doing bodywork like installing a new floor, and finally lifting the restored cab onto the frame.
Lesson 4 Apr 8 2010
Dave needs a new computer for university costing $3,294 before taxes. Financing is available at 18.99% compounded monthly over 48, 36, or 24 months. The monthly payments and total paid are calculated for each term. Daniel can also lease the same computer for $106.92/month over 48 months, $132.32/month over 36 months, or $182.88/month over 24 months. The document then provides information about leasing, including what costs make up monthly lease payments and details that would be in a lease agreement.
Lesson 2 Apr 6 2010
The document discusses various interest rates and compounding periods for investments, savings accounts, and credit cards, and uses calculations to determine future values, effective interest rates, and the best investment options based on interest rates and compounding frequencies. Formulas like the Rule of 72 are presented for estimating doubling times given interest rates.
Lesson 3 Apr 7 2010

Lesson 1 Apr5 2010
The document defines key terms and concepts related to circles and their equations. It explains that a circle consists of points equidistant from a fixed center point, and defines the radius as the distance from the center to any point on the circle. It provides the standard equation for a circle with center at the origin, and notes that the standard form includes variables h and k to indicate the center coordinates and r for the radius. It also describes a second form for the circle equation that can be converted to standard form by completing the square.
Lesson 1 Apr 5 2010
This document discusses personal finance concepts like the time value of money and compound interest. It provides the basic formulas for calculating future value (FV), present value (PV), interest rate (I%), number of periods (N), principal (P), payments (PMT), periodic interest rate (r), number of compounding periods per year (n), and time (t). The document works through examples of using these formulas to calculate things like how much money you will have after investing a principal amount over a period of time at a given interest rate.
Pretest
The document contains 6 math problems: 1) Find the value of k that gives equal roots of the quadratic equation f(x)=x^2 + 4x + k. 2) Determine the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation 13x^2 - 15x = 4. 3) Solve the equation x - 3 = 2 for x. 4) Find the quadratic equation with integer coefficients given the roots 3 + 9i and 10. 5) Solve the equation x + 8 = 10x - 81 for x. 6) Solve the equation x/3 = 6 - 2x for x.

Rem purchased 1000 shares of Wartel stock at $7.50 per share with a 7% commission. Six months later, Rem sold the shares at $8.50 per share with another 7% commission. Rem's total gain or loss from the transaction needs to be calculated. Registered savings plans offer advantages like tax-deferred growth that Marlon should consider for his $50 monthly investment goal. GICs have low risk but also low returns, while stocks have higher risk and potential returns. A 3% commission applies to purchasing 300 shares worth $12.48 each. Appropriate financial goals differ by age, such as saving for emergencies for a 20-year-old and retirement for a 50-year
