This week in math, we started our next unit. We learned how to factor trinomials using the area method.
Example:
9x+5x=15x so this is what the square would look like.
This is the easiest way for me to solve a trinomial because I am able to visualize what the answer would be.
This week in math, I learned a sneaky way of dividing a mixed radical by an entire radical.
The “sneaky” part is how you can turn the entire radical into 2 other radicals.
For example:
42=7*6
So:
Learning this was like a light switch that went off. I suddenly understood everything much better. We had a question similar to this on the practice PowerPoint before the test. This is something interesting that I got out of it that I hadn’t noticed before.
