Factoring

mvillanueva5_17 — 2024-12-16 16:50:36 UTC

This was my favorite lesson in this chapter because it was really simple and I found it interesting. I found it interesting because all of the problems somehow connects to other math topics. Also, how it has a lot to do with graphing parabolas.

Yes, there is a faster method.

There is a faster method to factoring. It is called The General Number Field Sieve. It is easy for large numbers. The easiest way for small numbers is using an area model.

How does it relate to the real world?

Factoring can be used in a lot of ways in real life. You can use factoring for cutting something into equal pieces, or exchanging money, and comparing prices. Also, it can be used to find dimensions of something like your backyard.

Perfect Square Equations

This is my favorite lesson from this chapter because it had a lot to do with using the square root. I liked this because using square roots is really interesting to me. You can use the square roots to cancel out exponents and find solutions for a graph.

I know solutions are used in graphs

mvillanueva5_17 — 2024-12-16 17:06:08 UTC

The number of solutions means where you plot your X-axis points on a graph. You get your solutions from solving square equations. Depending on how many solutions you get, that's where you plot your x-axis points.

In real life square equations can be used for a lot of ways. You can use the formula to help you calculate profit or to measure the speed of an object and for simple things, like throwing a ball. Lastly, you can use it to turn a standard form equation to a vertex form to calculate your profit.

Transforming Parabolas

mvillanueva5_17 — 2024-12-16 17:14:21 UTC

Transforming Parabolas is my favorite lesson from this chapter because it is intriguing to see how different equations can drastically change how a parabola looks and functions. For example y=2x² stretches the parabola vertically. This is interesting to me because I like seeing how simple changes to an equations can easily change how your answers look.

You use different formulas to change it.

mvillanueva5_17 — 2024-12-16 17:18:06 UTC

To shift and stretch a parabola you use different equations that all change a parabola in different ways. depending on if there is a decimal or not or if there is parenthesis the parabola change a lot. Using the equation y=(x²)-5 for example shifts the parabola down 5 spaces because of the -5. To add on, y=(x²)+5 shifts the parabola up because of the +5.

How does this relate to the real world?

In real life you can use transforming parabolas in many ways. You can use the equations to help create satellite dishes. Transforming parabolas help a lot in engineering and with engineering by help building long range rockets.
