I have thoroughly enjoyed the past
unit regarding polynomials. I will be
honest, when I took the pre-test for this unit I had no idea how to factor
expressions to a degree greater than two.
However, after many strenuous hours of studying, I came to take much
delight in working with the different factoring methods and long division. I have always enjoyed math, especially
working on problems that require solving several times. This may be the reason that I found such joy
in working with long division. I find
myself in great elation when a problem requires me to solve for one solution,
and then use that solution to solve for other solutions. For example, on the Polynomial Test, when we
were to find possible zeros using the Rational Zero Theorem, then divide a
rational zero into the polynomial only to find that it needed to be divided
again, and again, and again. Although
this problem took time, I enjoyed working through it and it left me feeling
like I had accomplished some amazing feat.
This may not be a “muddiest point”, or “moment of clarity”, but it was
certainly one of the more fascinating concepts that we have learned thus far.
Good Morning and Good Night,
Greg
