This week I chose to talk about adding and subtracting radical expressions. When adding and subtracting radicals there are a few key things to remember… Before doing any adding or subtracting you must make sure all the radicals are in the simplest form possible, that way it makes it pretty easy for the person doing […]

This week in class we learnt about absolute values, the definition of an absolute value is the principal square root of a square of a number. Another way to simply describe an absolute value is the distance a number is from 0 on the number line.  For example |5| = 5 because it is 5 […]

This week we learnt about geometric sequences. It is somewhat similar to arithmetic sequences although instead of having a difference, the numbers are multiplied by a constant common ratio (r). The regular formula for calculating terms within the sequences is: =a While I was doing my weekly assignment, it was going pretty good. I was […]

The topic I am choosing to write about this week in math is something called “Arithmetic Series”. A short explanation of what arithmetic series are, is basically when you have a regular sequence but need to add all the number in the sequence together to find the sum (Ex. Sn =) So, if your sequence […]
