Math Essay

Let me tell you the where it all began–cants. Life here on the unit circle isn’t so bad, being a solgob and all. A solgob is what my species is call. We look like humans… but we all have purple eyes for boys and pink eyes for girls; a unit circle is a space on a plain that is exactly one unit on all sides. Oh, where are my manners?! Hello, my name is Ten-view, and I am a solgob. We lived a peaceful life in the land of Math in our own little unit circle, which we called Gary. Now Gary has constants, or unchanging numbers, all on four of its sides. There are many unit circles in the world, but none overlap and no two are the same. The one we lived on was the party unit circle, that’s why we were purple. Another thing that is different between our two species is we have only one year. Pi represents the ongoing year, because on the year 3 we decided that we would just change the name of the month every 789654 years (365 days in the human world). So not to be confused pi (also represented with “π”) stands for 3.1415… and never ends.

Our story On Grosmon: 47: Pi, or in your world that’s January 16 year unknown. Everything seems to be going great when we saw all of the sine and cosine fractions getting dizzy. For those of you who don’t know, sine is opposite over hypotenuse or also y and cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse or also x. Back to the story, so they were walking kind of funny and switching their signs, the y started getting shorter and the x getting longer so they kind of looked like each other. When they die the, don’t die they are still living just different, they are called the inverse trigonometric functions, but I won’t get into that. Not many people thought that was a big idea. Now everyone knows that when sin sits on cos, they are known as tangents. Well even the tangents were acting funny, running around and yelling and such. That’s when you know something is definitely wrong. That night I went on Glorfbook to see what my friends were saying about this, but it was as if no one else but I had noticed that something was definitely fishy.

The next morning is when the whole unit circle seemed to put alpha (α) and beta (ß) together. They said that the unit circle was shifting a number of degrees, and that this was very rare. They also stated that they had discover that when the constant 1s were falling, to protect themselves the sin and cos animals were using big rods to protect themselves. The channel 97.6 news showed us a video of this happening, then something amazing happened, a new species was born when the 1 fell on the sine holding the bar; the sine transformed! The news called it a…cosecant, and the one for the cosine was a secant, and the last one, for the tangent, was called a cotangent. The cotangent was formed then the cosine jumped on top of the sin and protected the sine with the bar. They said all of these strange creatures are the second level, evaluations if you will, to the sin, cos, and tans. Then the impossible happened, the news castors said that these –cants had the ability to carry theta. Theta, Θ, is some kind of an energy source that stands in for the constants. No one has ever even thought that something like this was possible.

The reason I am telling you this story is because now I am about to be beheaded for treason against the supreme overload, he calls himself Dr. H. Dr. H has imprisoned us because we lead the resistance. Let me start from the part where everything went to the negative y-axis. After the power of the theta was discover Dr. H, the words greatest mathematician in all of the unit circles combined! He made a very important breakthrough on how to harness the power of the theta. But this power made him corrupt and eventually he took over all of the unit circles. The only way to stop him was to enter the formula to chance degrees to radians. We, the resistance, were so close to cracking the password that he had put into the solgolbuter when we were discovered. We fought off his evil equatroops as long as we could but in the end we were just out numbered. We surrendered in the hope that we would have another chance, but it doesn’t look good. Our secondary troops are out now to make sure that the equation gets entered not matter what happens. If they fail…if you get this message, please help us, we can defeat Dr. H, solve his evil equations, find the password and enter the equation!
