Formulas and Functions

Formulas were created and used to make math more easier. There are many different formulas for many different situations that you can think of. But finding which formula to use and actually solving the problem takes time, but you can use Excel and it will help make your life more easier. Formulas are used for calculating numbers, both big and small. Excel already has built in formulas in the program, all you have to do is plug in the numbers and everything is taken care of. If formulas were not created, finding out the square root of a number that is not perfect will take a lot of time and patience.

Charts, Graphs, and Diagrams

Spreadsheets and Graphs are used for analyzing and comparing data. They help make data mor understandable and more interesting to look at. Different types of graphs are used because there are many different type of  data. It all depends on what the data is and what it is talking about. You can use any of these type of charts if they go hand in hand with your present data. Charts, graphs and diagrams are also used to analyze and compare data visually. It is easier to read charts than try to read text data. An example of how i would use charts outside of school is a Survey of your favorite foods. I would go off and survey 100 studenst from each grade in HHS. After i get my results, i would take my data and put it in a Pie Graph.

My State Presentation

Lesson 4 Reflection- MLA Reports

In the lesson 4 MLA Reports lesson we learned how to make regular documents into school and business appropiate documents. We learned that we had to use a heading, headers and footnotes, page numbers to make life a little easier for those who have to read the documents given to them. I never used headers and footnotes before, and now that i know how to use it, i will use it to create documents. When you are doing a research paper and you get information from websites, journals and books, you have to give whoever wrote or produced the information, credit for what they did. It's the authors works not yours, so you have to create a citation and make a work cited bibliography. If you choose not to do this, you will be accused of plagarizing. This type of document formatting is used for many different purposes and i will continue to use this futher for eductational purposes.
