This week in chapter 7.5 we began solving Fractional Equations, when dealing with Fractional equations it’s important to remember that you must SOLVE as opposed to SIMPLIFYING, which is related to expressions as opposed to equations. This also means that after solving you should be left with a value that will be equal to x. […]

Week 14- Equivalent Rational Expressions
This week we began chapter 7, the first lesson of chapter 7 was on equivalent rational expressions for example are all equivalent rational expressions, also known as fractions. The definition of a rational number is “the quotient of two integers” whereas a rational expression can be defined as “the quotient of two polynomials”. Since these […]
Week 13- Reciprocal Functions
In this lesson (8.3,4,5) we started graphing and understanding reciprocal functions of linear and quadratic equations. Reciprocal linear functions: Reciprocals of linear functions will always create a “2 part graph” this is referred to as a hyperbola, a hyperbola of a linear graph will always have two “swooping L” shaped lines exactly opposite each other […]
Week 12- Absolute value and reciprocal functions
This week we started the “Absolute value and reciprocal functions” unit. This first lesson focused mainly on the shape of the graph that will result from graphing an absolute value of both a line and a parabola. When you graph the absolute value of an equation, any part of the line or parabola that may […]
Week 11- Graphing quadratic inequalities in 2 variables
Similarly to graphing linear inequalities in 2 variables, the goal is to determine where on the graph is the solution “true”. When talking about linear 2 variable inequalities, the graph will be shaded one side of the line (the shaded side contains the solutions that make the equation “true”). However, since every quadratic equation will […]
