Week 6 Blog Post
This week in math I was sick, so I had to stay home. At home I learned 3.2 -3.4 in my math workbook. Factoring for me can be easy but I tend to overthink questions and make them harder for myself when I can just do it the simple way. Something I found challenging this week was 3.3 on Solving Quadradic Equations because I had to learn it on my own. The thing I found the hardest in 3.3 was the quadradic equations because when I was teaching myself, I got confused on where to start. I had to use my creative thinking skills to find different ways to find the answer while showing as much work as possible. I had my mom quiz me this weekend on all the questions. The skill checks weren’t too bad but the last two equation questions got me stuck so I after I finished, I went and watched videos on it. This week has been harder because I’ve had to teach myself most things in this unit. My goal for this week is to get fully caught up which I think I am and start studying for my next math test.
For this question you need see what numbers that multiply that will get you to -11x. There is 2 numbers which is -4 and 3x. That = -12x but you need something else to get you to -11x. That number would be 1. The final answer you get for this question is (3x+1) (x-4).
