Week 8 – Pre-Calculus 11

This week in Pre-Calculus 11 we had a test on Solving Quadratic Equations and we also just started the unit of Analyzing Quadratic Equations. So far, we have only covered the properties of a quadratic function. A quadratic function is a function that can be possibly written in the form of ax2 + bx + […]

Week 7 – Pre-calculus 11

This week in pre-calculus 11 in I learnt how to determine the number of roots of a quadratic equation and how to calculate the discriminant.  Calculating the discriminant is very beneficial because it can help you with whether or not you should factor (when the discriminant is a perfect square such as 9, 16, 25, […]

Week 5 – Pre-Calculus 11

This week in math there was a test on Thursday, but I also learnt how to solve radical equations algebraically before the test. In addition, adding a restriction on the domain and determining whether or not the solution to the radical equation is a real root.  Here is an example of solving an equation with […]

Week 4 – Pre-Calculus 11

This week in Pre-Calculus 11 I learnt how to rationalize a monomial and binomial denominator. Here is an example of rationalizing a monomial denominator:  The first step is to simplify the radical in the denominator. So, √12 can be further simplified into 2√3 and in the numerator the numbers inside the square roots cannot further […]
