This week, I learnt the fractional exponents law. This law explains that if you have an exponent that is a fraction, you can change it into a radical. To change a fractional exponent into a radical, you start with a number with an exponent like . When you are changing an fractional exponent into a radical, the denominator is the number that goes on the root. The number on the…
This week I learnt how to combine exponent laws. There is four laws. Multiplication, division, power of a power and the intergral exponent law. The multiplication law is that if two numbers that have an exponent have the same base, and you need to multiply them, you can add the exponents together to simplify then do the calculations. For example: = The division law is when you have two numbers…
This week I learnt how to write entire and mixed radicals. I really liked doing this lesson because I found it very simple but effective. An entire radical is a single number inside of a square, cube, fourth, fifth, etc root. For example: is an entire radical. A mixed radical is when there is a number outside of the square, cube, fourth, fifth, etc root sign as well as one…
In the video The Human Condition, the man talks about how he lost his leg. He tells us about the resilience it takes to deal with something like that and how it’s hard to recover but you can do it. He says that he now works in a lab with a psychologist where they work with people who have recently lost someone or something important to them to see if there…
This week, I learnt how to do a factor tree. I found it very useful to find the prime factors of certain numbers. It is a pretty simple concept but very effective. Here is an example of a factor tree. I used the number 180. Factor trees are easier with smaller numbers such as the numbers in the 100s. First, you find two factors of 180. In this case I…
