This week we took our midterm and started our fifth unit which is about solving and graphing inequalities. I learned a lot of new information this week, but I think what stood out for me was solving quadratic inequalities using a sign chart. I found it interesting because we will need to be able to […]

Week 10 – Midterm Review (Quadratics)
This week we finished our graphing quadratic functions unit and began studying for our midterm. Although we did not learn anything new, I did have to review certain sections of previous units. What I had to (almost) relearn / really think about was unit 3 chapter 5, when one must find the value of a […]
Week 9 – Equivalent Forms of the Quadratic Function
This week we continued our graphing unit and prepared for the unit test next week. I learned quite a few new things this week but the most interesting and probably useful would be how to convert general form to standard form using the complete the square method.
Week 8 – Graphing Quadratic Equations
This week we started our new unit on factoring quadratics. I learned quite a few things this week, but the one that stuck with me the most was the 3 different equations that changed certain aspects of a graph. When we put the three equations together we could get one equation that would show us […]
Week 7 – Discriminant
In week 7 we finished our polynomials unit with a test, but I still managed to learn something new. Although we only learned one new chapter of the unit, we learned about discriminants. I learned what the discriminant formula was and that it can help find the nature of the root.
