NAME: Jesus H.	Foot to navel: 111cm	Navel to top of head: 56cm	Ratio: 111/56 = 1.98	Average: 1.77
	Navel to chin: 44cm	Chin to top of head: 20cm	Ratio: 44/20 = 2.2
	Knee to navel: 57 cm	Foot to knee: 51cm	Ratio: 57/51 = 1.12
NAME: Austin V.	Foot to navel: 94cm	Navel to top of head: 63cm	Ratio: 94/63 = 1.49	Average: 1.66
	Navel to chin: 45cm	Chin to top of head: 18cm	Ratio: 45/18 = 2.5
	Knee to navel: 51cm	Foot to knee: 51cm	Ratio: 51/51 = 1
NAME: Leslie N.	Foot to navel: 97cm	Navel to top of head: 62cm	Ratio: 97/62 = 1.56	Average: 1.70
	Navel to chin: 46cm	Chin to top of head: 19cm	Ratio: 46/19 = 2.42
	Knee to navel: 51cm	Foot to knee: 45cm	Ratio: 51/45 = 1.13
NAME: Vanessa C.	Foot to navel: 99cm	Navel to top of head: 64cm	Ratio: 99/64 = 1.55	Average: 1.62
	Navel to chin: 46cm	Chin to top of head: 21cm	Ratio: 46/21 = 2.19
	Knee to navel: 55cm	Foot to knee: 49cm	Ratio: 55/49 = 1.12

          In this activity, the golden ratio was used as a standard to see who is the "most beautiful" according to  various measurements. Vanessa C. had an average that is closest to the golden ratio of 1.618 so she won the competition out of the 5 people that were measured.
         The Fibonacci golden ratio for beauty is, in my humble opinion, a bunch of baloney. This ratio HEAVILY discriminates against those who were graced with more height than others. I am proud of my 6'2 height, but apparently Fibonacci didn't take too well against taller people, probably because he was some sort of midget. In addition, the only way to ace the second section is to have a face as long as a horse's or a ridiculously small torso. I cannot recall if there was a time when horse faces were deemed "beautiful" but I do know that in today's world, this would be deemed unfavorable. Which is why I must call this ratio a hoax and an embarrassment for REAL mathematicians that made REAL accomplishments. Thank you.

Fibonacci Haiku: A Really Bad Idea

Chocolate
Milk
Mix them

It's pretty good

Don't mix chocolate and juice

Now that is just a really bad idea

SP#5: Unit J Concept 6: Partial Fraction Decomposition with Repeated Factors

Pay careful attention to each dot as they will guide you throughout the problem and give you important information on what is being done. This problem has a lot of work to it and requires a special step in the middle in order to solve for a large system of equations.

SP#4: Unit J Concept 5: Partial Fraction Decomposition with Distinct Factors

Pay careful attention to each dot as they will guide you throughout the problem and give you important information on what is being done. The calculator part can be done with a simple RREF function on any calculator to solve for the final answer.

               In order to understand this video, the viewer must pay special attention the the mouse cursor. It will be guiding them on where to look when I mention certain steps and what is going on during the problem. The viewer should also take note of the part at the end, as it will explain to them a vital learning point of this entire concept.
