This week in math we learned about polynomials. We learned three methods for multiplying a polynomial by a polynomial. The first method we learned was using algebra tiles to create diagrams, first draw two lines that form a one cornered graph shape and draw tiles that match the question along the top and side, an…

SOLVING TRIG EQUATIONS Remember: SOH CAH TOA Triangle ABC TOA In this triangle we need to find the value of the x angle since we know the length of the side opposite the reference angle and the side adjacent to the angle we will use tangent to find the value of the angle, since we are…

This week on math I learned about finding the surface area and volume of a sphere and a hemisphere. The volume of a sphere is . The surface area of a sphere is . A hemisphere is just half of a sphere so the volume would be  which can be simplified as . The surface…

This week in math I learned two things I definitely don’t want to forget: the first is how to convert units into other units the next is calculating the surface area and volume of pyramids and cones. One of the simplest ways to convert a unit like 23m into ft is to create an equation that…

In my math course this week we learned more about rational exponents and evaluating negative and fractional exponents in equations as well as the negative exponent and fractional exponent laws. For the equation first we use the power law to multiply all the exponents in the numerator by two because we have brackets,  making the equation…

This week in math we learned about negative exponents and fraction exponents. A negative exponent such as is equal to  which is equal to , it is normally very hard to evaluate a negative exponent but it is made feasibly doable by converting the negative into a positive, however this would change the entire output of…

In math this week we learned about radicals, mixed radicals, and entire radicals. A radical is the term used for any root number like  A mixed radical is when a radical is expressed as a root with a coefficient like  Entire radicals are radicals that have no numbers in front of them like . Entire…

In our first week of math we learned about prime numbers and the number system. On Friday we learned about the number system and how to organize numbers into real, rational, integer, whole, natural, and irrational numbers. Real numbers are represented by R, rational numbers are represented by Q, irrational by a Q with a line above…
