Math problems

I have had problems with synthetic division. But the problem I've had the most trouble with is the problems with i.

     
                             Price of Flour Since 1890


    To find the growth factor in the price of flour since 1890 I found some interesting things about flour. The price of flour has risen since 1890 because we are using wheat in a lot of what we eat (including cookies). This has made the price of flour increase. Flour is becoming more expensive because of the higher demand for it. 
     I discovered that I don't need to look at all of the numbers (price of flour each year since 1890) to figure out how much flour has increased. If I need to, I can use the equation to find the price or amount of anything over a number of years. It does not require every number, only the beginning number and the last number to figure out the growth factor. 

Quadratic Equation

A quadratic is "involving the second and no higher power of an unknown quantity or variable." according to Google's definition. You can use a quadratic equation when you throw a ball up in the air and you can see where it lands. You can use it to calculate profit for companies. Lastly, you can use a quadratic equation to calculate speed.  

To prepare for the test I could have asked for more help when I didn't understand something. I had a hard time on the test with monomials because I wasn't here the day we did it. I should have asked for more help to learn the right way to do it. So next time, if I don't understand something I will come seek help so I can do better on the test.

Why I Love Math!

One reason I love math is becuase its not based on memory necessarily.  For me, if you can remember basic rules and a few different equations, you should be alright. For me, I really enjoy math because it comes easier for me than any other subject. I stink at test taking, but in math you can prove your answer so then, you might just be right after all.
