This week in Math we went over things that we’ve learned, nothing new was added just things that we learned in the previous week just in a more expanded, detailed way to help us understand, This week was more of a review week, even though it was a review week I still had trouble with something.

When doing ugly trinomials I kept getting different integers for my answers for example; the answer would be 2x-4 but I would get 2x+4. I couldn’t figure out why that was and I was really confused but then I learned that when using an area model with ugly trinomials, if the term with a higher degree is negative then when I find the GCF I have to factor out a negative. To check if your answer is correct you can multiply your GCF’s together Like how you do on a multiplication chart and your answer should be the number in the area diagram box.
