1. My first point would be to really try to fully understand every concept and sub- concept covered in class, it sounds inevitable, but you can’t study things you don’t know how to do if that makes any sense… 2. Study what you learned that day in class each night, don’t wait to study everything […]

X and Y intercepts are a very easy thing to find on a graph, and that essentially all that they are, they are defined as the points on a graph where the line crosses over the X or Y axes. NOTE: on the x intercept y will always equal to 0 and on the y […]

factoring is a simple concept to understand and using perfect squares, if anything, makes it even easier because as long as you are familiar with square roots, finding the difference of squares is very easy to do. In the case of question d) you are given 36p and 25q, the first step is to figure […]

Function Notation is a simple and easy to understand concept to grasp, in this section of function notation we focus on recording the information off of a graph.   As as shown above, using the information on the graph we can find the function for different points, for example in a) i. It asks you […]

Over all I found the chapter on relations and functions to be quite and easy and understandable unit. The section I found most challenging was being able to identify a function, this s how to do it: This image represents two diagrams, the diagram on the right represents a function relation and the diagram on […]

This week we learned how to convert mixed and entire radicals and also how to simplify mixed and entire radicals. Personally I find this unit to be pretty straight forward, typically so far with this unit I haven’t run into very many problems. In the example above we converted an entire radical into a mixed […]

in this section of the measurement unit we focused more on the volume and surface area of specifically pyramids and cones. This unit is difficult because shapes like cones have tapered bottoms/ points. Also in this unit you recognize aspects like shapes within shapes. For example the vertical height, radius, and slant height of a […]

This week we focused on measurment, measurment is a unit where you learn how to determine aspects like surface area, volume, perimeter, circumference (for circle geometry) etc based on given measurements like vertical height, slant height or any side length of the object. I personally find the measurement unit fairly challenging because of the variety […]

This week we worked on understanding and solving word problems with trigonometric ratios, this involves being able to correctly label the different sides of the right angle triangle (adjacent, opposite, and hypotenuse), as well as being able to set up the correct equations to solve for either an angle or a side of the triangle.
