Week 4- Math 10

One question that stumped me this week was in the practice test: (exponents) is equivalent to: I knew that… -5 is the coefficient -x is the base -(-2) is the exponent At first, I thought that all we needed to do was use the negative exponent law, so the 1 would be on top. BUT, […]

Week 3- Math 10

Exponent Laws Multiplication Law:  The multiplication law tells us that we need to add the exponents of 2 of the same base to find the answer. Division Law:  The division law tells us that we need to subtract the exponents of 2 of the same base to find the answer. Power Law:  The power law […]

Week 3- Math 10

[Rational Exponents] One question that really stumped me this week….. 7) Assuming that x represents a positive integer, state which of the following expressions has no meaning. After the explanation in class, I realized that: a) has meaning because….. with a positive integer as x, the integer under the root sign would be negative, and we can have a […]

Week 1- Math 10

One of my “ah ha” moments this week was in Lesson #2. When we were first looking at the differences between the greatest common factor, (GCF) and the least common multiple, (LCF) I wasn’t sure how to find each of these. When I knew that we could use prime factorization to determine both of them, I tried the first question […]
