Adjunct Assistant Professor

Biography

I have completed a BS in Mathematics, MAT in Math Education, and MA in Applied Mathematics, and am currently finished with my coursework for my PhD in Applied Mathematics and working on dissertation research, all through Stony Brook University. I have taught at Suffolk County Community College for the past 8 years, on an alternating part-time and full-time basis depending on course availability, and also part-time at Long Island University for the past 3 years. During this time I have primarily taught algebra, statistics, calculus, and linear algebra. I also have 13 years of experience as a private tutor for various math and science courses at the middle school high school, and undergraduate level, and am certified to teach math for grades 7-12 in New York.

Questions $8-10$
The diagram below depicts a projectile launched from point $A$ with a speed $v$ at angle of $\theta,$ above the horizontal. The projectile reaches its maximum height, $h,$ at point $B .$ The projectile impacts the ground at point $C,$ achieving a final range of $x .$ Points $A$ and $C$ are at the same height. The total time of flight from point $A$ to point $C$ is $t$ seconds.
Which of the statements below is true regarding the acceleration acting on the projectile during its flight from point $A$ to point $C$ ?
(A) The acceleration decreases from $A$ to $B$ and increases from $B$ to $C .$
(B) The acceleration increases from $A$ to $B$ and decreases from $B$ to $C$ .
(C) At $B$ , the magnitude of the acceleration equals the $x$ -component of the magnitude at $A$
(D) At $C,$ the magnitude of the acceleration is the same as at $A$ but the direction is opposite.
(E) The magnitude and direction of the acceleration remain constant from $A$ to $C .$

Give clear and complete answers to the following problems and questions. Write your explanations clearly using complete sentences. Include diagrams whenever appropriate.
The usual distance function (the one that assumes that the coordinate axes are perpendicular) is based on the Pythagorean Theorem.
a. How can we use coordinates to represent points $A$ and $B$ in three-dimensional space?
b. Extend the Pythagorean Theorem to three dimensions, and prove that this formula is correct.
c. Given two points, $A$ and $B$, in 3 -dimensional space, what is the set of points equidistant from $A$ and $B$ ? Prove your answer, using coordinates.
