Facing a Challenge (Pre-Cal 11)

Malcolm on

QUESTIONS:

The first time I tried this problem I found it challenging because it took a while to expand and square all the components. I doubted myself a few times cause of the high numbers but trusted the process and saw it through.

The mistake I made when I first did this problem was I did not fully factor the squared binomials, so I had to go back and redo them.

Some strategies I used to help me solve this problem: I looked at similar problems to see the steps involved to solve them and applied them to this problem.

Some concepts and skills I needed to remember in order to solve this problem were squaring binomials, adding, subtracting, and squaring both sides of the equals sign at the same time.

Next time I encounter a difficult problem, I might try to find the restrictions for x first, then put everything I can onto one side of the equals sign, and square all the terms to get rid of the radicals. Then I will double check my answers as I go to make sure they make sense.

Workbook Questions: Chapter 1.7

Questions:

  • The first time I tried this problem I found it challenging because it took a long time to do the equation and all the extraneous solutions to get the right answer. I also did not isolate the variable on one side of the equals sign, then square everything the first time I did this.
  • The mistake I made when I first did this problem was I did not square the binomial correctly, I also forgot to square the product on both sides of the equals sign at the same time. I also did forgot to keep isolating the radical, which is important to get the correct answer.
  • Some strategies I used to help me solve this problem: I asked for help to point me in the right direction to figure out how to solve the problem. I also used the answer key and worked backwards to find the correct solution.
  • Some concepts and skills I needed to remember in order to solve this problem were squaring binomials, adding, subtracting, and squaring both sides of the equals sign at the same time.
  • Next time I encounter a difficult problem, I might try to read find the restrictions for x first,then put everything I can onto one side of the equals sign, and square all the terms to get rid of the radicals. Then I can start squaring, subtracting terms, and isolating the variable, and solving for x.

Core Competency Self Assessment

I was in the back right in the percussion section

Social Awareness and Responsibility in CLE 10

I demonstrated social responsibility and social awareness by showing up to the concert on time, waiting for my turn to play, being encouraging top the other people who played before and after me, and doing something to entertain myself that was not distracting or unnecessary when I was not preforming. When I was done performing, I went and watched the other groups perform because they watched my perform and I liked how they all sounded.

I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy and take pride in my work and myself. All of the band members worked hard practising these songs and pieces for the last concert and we all did a good job for our final performance.

These things have helped me and influenced some of my experiences and choices in my life. My experiences and peers have helped me by giving different knowledge and background experience that helps me find what I like to do.
