My top five things = Studying for math: I have improved a lot in math compared to the following years and so I think it’s important to say what helped me study. I think I learned that doing all the questions in the workbook and reviewing over all the notes we did that unit really…

What I learned this week in pre-calc 11 is how to use the sine law to help find angles and side lengths of triangles. Why this is important is because it helps speed up the process of finding an answer. The sine law is: SinA/a = SinB/b = SinC/c A stands for the angle and…

What I learned this week in trigonometry was how to find reference angles. It is important to know this because it is a basic thing to know and continue to use throughout trigonometry. How I learned to find the reference angle is through the rotation angle. The rotation angle is the angle formed between the…

I chose to write about adding restrictions when dividing algebraic fractions because it is different from when adding restrictions to adding/subtracting and multiplying algebraic fractions. Additionally, it is something that is important to remember. The way I learned to divide two fractions is by reciprocating the second fraction, and changing the division sign to multiply…

What I learned this week was one way to solve rational equations is to use cross multiplication. I chose to write about this because sometimes using this method to solve rational equations might be faster and easier than finding a common denominator. Something to remember when using cross multiplication is that there must be two…

What I learned this week in pre-calc 11 is how to simplify algebraic fractions. I chose this topic because it is the foundation to learning how to solve more complicated algebraic fractions.   What I learned is that to simplify an algebraic fraction to get to your final answer, you will have to factor. You…

what I learned this week in Precalc 11 is how to graph inequalities with two variables. I chose to write about this because it is challenging for me to do and I hope explaining it will better my own understanding of the topic. The first step to graphing the inequality is knowing the information given…

What I learned this week in precalc 11 is how solve and graph inequalities with one variable. Why I chose this topic is because it is the basis step to learning how to graph more complex inequalities like with two variables. In this first example, we don’t have to solve the inequality, but we have…

What I learned this week is if a function is congruent to a parent function. I chose this topic because I learned this today and thought it would be important to know for the future test.   Congruent means the spacing of the points on the parabola, so when we are asked what is the…

What I learned this week in functions is vertical and horizontal translation. Knowing what the vertical and horizontal translation can help quickly find the vertex.   The vertical translation helps you find the y coordinate of the vertex. The vertical translation is the constant in a function.  The examples below show the function and how…
