Math blog week 3

This week in math 10 with Mrs. Burton we started a new unit. We started learning abut exponents. The new thing I learned about this past week has been the BEDMAS laws. With exponents, we follow four main laws. The division law, multiplication law, zero law and power of power law. Each law eliminates a different part of the equation. The division law is when you subtract the powers the equation. For the division law to work the bases must ALL be the same. So for example, if you have 7 to the power of 5 divided by 7 to the power of 2, you would get 7 to the power of 3 as an answer. Now with the multiplication law the bases also must be the same but instead of subtracting like you would in the division law, now we add. So if you have 8 to the power of 3 and 8 to the power of 4 you would get 8 to the power of 7 as an answer. For the Zero law exponent law it ONLY works when the exponent in a equation is 0. When that is the case, no matter what the base is the number will always be whatever the coefficient is. If there is no coefficient given, we automatically know the answer is 1 since there is an invisible 1 in the coefficient spot. The last law kids the pp law also known as the power to power law. In this law, you will ALWAYS multiply. If you have (2 to the power of 3 ) to the power of 2 t would equal 2 to the power of six because you simply multiply 2 of what is inside the ( )’s.

Week 2 Math 10

This week in Mrs.Burtons math class I learned how to switch from entire radicals to mixed and the opposite, mixed to entire.

If you take 4 as the coefficient and 12 as the radicand that can break down into root 4 squared x’s square root of 12, which is equivalent to square root of 16 x’s 12. Then you get your answer coefficient 4 square root 12 is = to square root of 192. That is how you go from a mixed radical to a entire radical. Now for changing a entire into a mixed it’s a little different. When switching an entire radical into a mixed. The steps to changing the entire to mixed are quite simply. The steps are to 1) prime factorize 2) Find perfect squares within the factorization 3) rewrite the entire as the largest perfect square number from your factorization 4) take the factorization from your perfect square number and put that number as the coefficient and the other  number of the prime factorization pair as the radicand

My favourite novel and lesson

The novel To Kill a Mocking bird is one of my all time favourite novels because it has taught me that people are people. Regardless of someone’s race, sex or sexual orientation we are all the same and should ALWAYS be treated equally. People are complicated and you should always learn about them before you judge them. ” You really never understand a person till you look at the situation through his point of view.” -Atticus Finch To Kill a Mocking bird.
