This was one of the toughest classes that I have ever taken at GBS. To give a little background, I graduated High School with Fundamental Mathematics. As a matter of fact the stuff that my little girl is doing currently in 5th grade is more advanced than what I graduated with. I was actually kick out of the regular high School and thrown into the alternative High School for out of control kids. I believe that they gave me my diploma just to get me out of there. In addition, I was drinking heavily and doing drugs during that time in my life. Lastly that was fifteen years ago.
I share all of that to say that during the first week of this class, I surpassed everything that I had ever been taught in High School; fifteen years ago. Therefore, I had to relearn everything from High School and them some before my first week of this class. In light of all this, week one; assignment one, is my assignment that I will be sharing, it took a lot of effort and frustration but I got a 100% on the assignment. The textbook for this class can be found here if you are ever looking to learn college level math. I found the book to be very helpful. So without further adieu here is my assignment.
Week 1 Chapman
Assignment: Text pp. 47, 48, problems 3, 6, 9, 12, 17, 22, 27, 32, 37, 38
The "dots" between the numbers signify multiplication
3. 6 • 6 • 6 • 7 • 7 • 7 • 7
63 • 74
6. 3 • 3 • 10 • 10
32 • 102
9. 3 • 3 • 3 • 6 • 6 • 6 • 6
33 • 64
12. 2 • 2 • 2 • 4 • 7 • 7 • 7
23 • 4 • 73
Simplify the following (write as a standard numeral)
17. 32 • 102
3 • 3 = 9
10 • 10 = 100
9 • 100 = 900
22. 6 • 32 • 4
6 = 6
3 • 3 = 9
4 = 4
6 • 9 • 4 = 216
27. 32 • 104
3 • 3 = 9
10 • 10 • 10 • 10 = 10,000
9 • 10,000 = 90,000
32. 6 • 26 • 72
6 = 6
2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 • 2 = 64
7 • 7 = 49
6 • 64 • 49 =18,816
37. 42 • 33 • 104
4 • 4
3 • 3 • 3 = 27
10 • 10 • 10 • 10 = 10,000
16 • 27 • 10,000 = 4,320, 000
38. Rewrite both expressions using the numeral 3 and 5 only once in each, and then simplify each:
a. 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
3 • 5
b. 3 • 3 • 3 • 3 • 3
35
46. 52 - 17
5 • 5 = 25 – 17 = 8
50. 8 – 22 + 4
8 – 4 = 4 + 4 = 8
54. 5 • 32 + 8
5 • 9 = 45 + 8 = 53
65. 3 • (6 – 2) + 4
3 • 4 = 12 + 4 = 16
71. 3 • (4 +2) / 6
3 • 6 = 18 / 6 = 3
74. 12 / 3 • 22 + (7 – 3)2
22 = 4
(7 – 3)2 = 16
12 / 3 = 4 • 4 = 16 + 16 = 32
77. 100 / (2 + 3)2 – 8 / 2
100 / 25 = 4
8 / 2 = 4
4 – 4 = 0
