There were many important topics and lessons learned in this Precalculus 11 course. The following top 5 things were what I believed stood out from the rest. They, in turn, will benefit me when taking the next math course in…
Week 17 – Precalc 11
Due to the surge in COVID-19 cases in the district, week 16 was canceled. On week 17, we finished off the remaining lessons on Trigonometry. The Sine Law is defined as the ratios of the SINE of an angle to…

Week 15 – Precalc 11
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! It’s the last week of school before the Winter break to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s! Week 15 was a mixed bag. We were trying to remember last year’s introduction to trigonometry as well as…
Week 14 – Precalc 11
Word problems involving Rational Expressions was the final lesson before the Unit Test on week 14. Inserting the information given in a word problem into a rational expression was a struggle at first but once I understood the concept, the…
Week 13 – Precalc 11
Last week’s introduction to Rational Expressions showed us expressions with monomial denominators. Week 13 gave us a glimpse of expressions with binomial and trinomial denominators. The best strategy to determine the common denominator for any expression is to factor all…
Week 12 – Precalc 11
For week 12, our class changed pace and learned about the concept of Rational Expressions. A rational expression is a fraction where the numerator and denominator are polynomials. Also, these expressions cannot contain root of variables (√ or ∜) or…
Week 11 – Precalc 11
During week 11, I had a rough start in understanding the concept of solving word problems with quadratic functions. After seeking help, I managed to recognize the values of the two numbers using substitution method and having a maximum or…
Week 10 – Precalc 11
During Week 10, we learned a new perspective of the quadratic function. We can figure out many characteristics of the graph of a quadratic function such as the coordinates of the vertex, the domain, the range, the direction of the…
Week 9 – Precalc 11
The first half of Week 9 was focused on the preparation of the midterm. After the midterm, we learned some new concepts in Chapter 4 “Analyzing Quadratic Functions and Inequalities.” First, we reviewed the definitions of parabola, vertex, axis of…
