The V.A.P’s: Making Math Fun + x x2 By Vanessa, Abi, and Pranavi
Table of Contents • Radicals • Easy Method to study (Levels) • Factorization
Radicals • Radicals are also known as surds • Imagine the surds as variables and solve as you would when you are solving for algebraic expressions Don’t forget bedmas Ex. (2+√3) (3+√2) = 6+2√2+3√3+√6 • To solve radicals you need to know: • Factorization • How to multiply binomials • Squares, products, multiples, factors, and exponents
Easy Method to study Levels • This method allows you to study easier. • We created 5 levels of questions. • These levels are steps to solve for radicals • First Level: Write the radicals in simplest form • Second level: Dividing and factorization • Third Level: Testing your distributing skills • Fourth Level: Testing your ability to multiply two binomial terms • Fifth Level: Testing your multiplication skills
Factorisation • Factorisation is something you will see for the rest for your high school life. • Factoring is taking out what’s common between two terms. • To be thorough in the concept of factorization, you should be familiar with the concepts of factors, products, difference of squares, multiplying binomials and trinomials. • Knowledge in these concepts would help you solve factorization problems correctly. • THE KEY to solving factorization problems is knowing the greatest common factors of the terms that are given to you. If you can figure that out, half the work is done. • The different kinds of factoring we’ll be looking at is Common Factor, Factor by grouping terms, Factoring simple trinomials and Factoring the difference of squares. • When you are solving any kind of factorization problems, pay extra attention to the signs and power, if you go wrong in that, the whole answer would be wrong!
