Reflection on Quadratics

Hey guys, it's Jackie. Aaaand .. I guess that it's time to do a personal reflection on our current unit, which is Quadratic Functions. Quadratics, quadratics .. how i loathe thee. :\ But honestly, all in all, this unit was fairly simple to understand until we started getting into the complicated fractions and all that jazz. I'm still kinda fuzzy on finding the zeros and whatnot, actually. However, it was easy enough to figure out how parabolas worked in regards to whether they opened up or down, if they were wider or narrowed, as well as finding the vertex of a parabola on a graph. Learning how to complete a square was tricky at first, but later on became a very simple and easy process. Finally, the word problems were definitely something that many of us need to continue to work on - in regards to setting up and figuring out which information goes where and how to organize our givens to solve for Y. But hey, all in all, it was an uncomplicated unit to understand. Alright, enough ranting, good luck to everyone on their test tomorrow and to all, a good night. :)
