Group post: solving rational and radical equations

Due Monday, November 13

Two types of equations we solve in this class are rational equations and radical equations (HOT topic standard 7). Sometimes it can be a bit tricky finding the standard 7 question on your HOT topics question paper. Each question paper has one question that asks you to solve a rational or radical equation.

For this week’s group assignment, group members will look back at their old HOT topics question papers. As a group, select two standard 7 problems from your group’s old question papers: one asking you to solve a rational equation and one asking you to solve a radical equation. Solve both of these questions as a group using the 6-point problem-solving framework. You may wish to refer to examples in the workbook.

The secretary’s post should include:

  1. the 6 steps for the rational equations problem (you may include a link to a photo of hand-written work),
  2. the 6 steps for the radical equations problem (you may include a link to a photo of hand-written work),
  3. the names of the group members who participated,
  4. the title Week 11 group [n] post (where [n] represents your group number),
  5. the category Week 11 group post.
