I chose this topic because it is straightforward, but there are also details, like keeping the signs of the values, that you need to pay attention to.   Quadratic Formulas Step 1: Make the equation equal to 0– To make the equation equal to 0, move values from one side of the equation so that […]

I chose this topic because I thought it was interesting how radicals relate to geometry.   Finding the length/width of a rectangle with a given area and side: Step 1: IDENTIFY FORMULA NEEDED- To find the width or length of a square, we can use the given area and side. Since the area of a […]

I chose this topic because it is something I often forget to do at the end of dividing radicals.     Step 1: MULTIPLYING BY DENOMINATOR- Begin by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the denominator radical. ex 1: ex 2: NOTE: By doing so, the irrational denominator turns into a rational (integer) value. […]

I chose this topic because I was initially confused by what the positive and negative symbols in between the coefficient and radicand meant. Area of a Rectangle Step 1: Set Up to Multiply- begin by writing in the side values to the formula (A= w x h) If there is a + or – symbol […]

I chose converting entire radicals to mixed radicals because I used to be intimidated anything relating to fractions in radical equations, but I learned how to solve such through this unit.   TO REMEMBER: The root of any fractional radicand is the same as the root of the numerator and the denominator. For example, the […]

I selected estimating the value of radical equations as I do not remember learning about this topic in Math 10. However, by using other concepts I remember from Math 10, I quickly caught on.   BACK TO BASICS: Firstly, one must know the basics of radical equations and the vocabulary it uses. Here is a […]
