Math Blog Post Week 3

This week in math we started a new unit on Radical Operations and equations. So far it hasn’t been too bad as I have been doing my homework daily and If I have been stuck I have been asking my parents for some help when I need it. Something I found challenging this week was learning how to identify the values of variables for which a radical is defined. It took my a little bit to figure it out but I got some people from our class to help me and now I feel more confident In it. Hopefully this week I will learn new skills and concepts as I am always ready to learn new things. One thing I need to improve on is asking more questions if Im stuck.

For the first question you have to make sure you square root x. after you do that you need to do it’s restrictions. For this one the final answer would be x is greater than or equal to 0. For the second equation you have to do the something as you did for the first question. in this question you have to see its x-3 so the restrictions would have to be x is greater than or equal to 3. For the 3rd question the first step is to see what the restriction will be. Since 7-5x is greater than 0 than the restriction would have to be something is greater than or equal to 0. the second step is to -5x on the left side to get rid of it, you have to do the same thing to the right side. because whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other. The final answer would be 1.4 or 7/5 is greater than or equal to 0.
