Week 7 – Math 10 – Multiplying Polynomials

There are several methods for multiplying polynomials, you can use an algebra tile model, area model or the distributing method. The Algebra tile model is used when the polynomials are fairly low because if they are high, you will need lots of space to draw. A rectangle is used to represent X, a large square…

Week 6 – Math 10 – Polynomials

A polynomial is made up of variables, constants and exponents using the operations of Bedmas. An example of a polynomial is 3×3(2y-27) + 6x. A monomial is a polynomial with only 1 term. A binomial is a polynomial with 2 terms. A trinomial is a polynomial with 3 terms. The terms can have multiple variables and exponents…

Week 5 – Math 10 – SOH CAH TOA

Soh Cah Toa is a way to remember the three main trigonometric functions: Sine, Cosine and Tangent Once you know them, you can find out a missing side or angle from a right triangle with 3 pieces of information. Sine: (SIN) Opposite ÷ hypotenuse Cosine (COS) Adjacent ÷ hypotenuse Tangent (TAN) Opposite ÷ Adjacent Opposite…

Week 4 – Math 10 – Right angle triangles

Right angle triangles are triangles with a 90-degree angle. You can figure out the length of one of the sides by using Pythagoras. Pythagoras is A squared plus B squared equals C squared.  (C is the longest side/hypotenuse) You can find the opposite side by finding the theta () and looking directly across. You can…

Week 3 – Math 10 – Scientific Notation

Scientific notation is an easy was to describe a long number with serval 0’s. To turn a LARGE number into a scientific notation, you take the first natural digit and move the rest of the natural digits after a decimal point. Then you count all the zeros and all the numbers after the decimal, you…

Week 2 – Math 10 – Prime Factorization

This week I learned about prime factorization. Before this week I didn’t even know that this way of describing a number existed. It’s an easy way to find the smaller numbers that go into a bigger number. You start with 2 and keep dividing the bigger number by 2 until you can’t, then you divide…
