go with that. 4b2 -6.75b4-Cb-4a2 -6.75a4-Ca= (Ca-4a2 +6.75a4) As it turns out, all of the pieces with ‘a’ cancel, leaving me with: 4b2 -6.75b4-Cb=0Cool, now I got something that looks useful, now I need to just figure out how to use it. All this math was making me hungry so I went and grabbed a bagel, the official food of major league mathematics, and got back to it. I realized that for y=8x-27x3 when x=b, then y=c, allowing me to rewrite the original function as: C=8b-27b3 This can be plugged…

Personal Narrative: Lessons I Learned After Teaching Mathematics

After taking MATH 251 I have learned so much not only in math but how to teach children in different types of math and different ways to approach it. Something I really took away from this class is that everyone is good at math if you are taught the basic rules and understandings. Overall I thought this class was great but I did not always think it would be that way. Going into this class I was so nervous. Everyone I had talked to about the class said it is next to impossible and I might have to…
