Math 11

Week 8 was extremely busy. I was swamped with tests and projects from other subjects as well as a Pre-Calculus test on Unit 3 and an upcoming midterm. In the midst of this pandemonium, I learned a new hack to…

In Week 7, we learned how to solve quadratic equations using three different methods: Factoring, the Completing the Square method, and the Quadratic Formula. A quadratic equation is any equation that can be written in the form: , where a,…

This week we started a new unit called Factoring Polynomial Expressions. We learned three methods this week: using rational coefficients, using a trinomial pattern, and using the Difference of Squares pattern. Each strategy is unique and is efficient in its…

Due of our Unit test, week 5 of Pre-Calculus 11 focused on review. Nonetheless, we learned how to solve radical equations graphically at the beginning of the week. A radical equation is an equation with at least one radical whose…

In the blink of an eye, we have completed one month of the new school year. In Week 4, we focused on Chapter 2.3, “Multiplying and Dividing Radical Expressions.” In order to multiply or divide radical expressions, the radicand cannot…

The lessons in the third week of Pre-Calculus 11 were shortened due to a unit test. Nonetheless, one new topic that I learned was how to write mixed radicals as an entire radical. For instance, in question 3c, 5∜3 can…

In the second week of Pre-Calculus 11, we focused on applying the exponent laws and order of operations to mixed and entire radicals. I learned how to rewrite radicals as fractional exponents, and vice versa. The rule is as follows:…

In the first week of Pre-Calculus 11, we first reviewed concepts taught in previous years, such as whole numbers, rational numbers, and irrational numbers. We also learned how to convert between entire and mixed radicals. A radical is any expression…
