Untitled

First of all, I'm gonna blog about my Trig Reflection since I haven't had the chance to go on the blog for so long. So yeah, the Trig Unit was quite a review for me just because I just had Precal 10 last semester. Almost everything was the same except some areas like the Unit Circle which I understood better this semester than the last. So it was a good unit for me. I like it now better than the first time I learned it.

The class was pretty much a work period. But first, Mr. Wat (Sorry, not sure how to spell your name), wrote a couple of equations on the board for people to go up there and factor just to refresh our memory:

Ex: x2 - 1 = 0
(x -1)(x +1)


Then find its roots.To find the root of a factored equation, simply make one of the terms equal to zero (0) so that it is "= 0":


(x-1) > What number will you use to replace "x" to make this term equal to zero? The answer, is one (1). The equation then becomes (1-1)(x+1). The multiplication rule states that anything that you multiply with zero (0) will equal to zero(0). So there you go, you found the roots.


After awhile, Mr. Wat assigned us Exercise #13, numbers 1 - 6. So we just worked on the exercise for the rest of the class.


Next person to post is hmmm, is KIMberly!
