APPLICATIONS OF QUADRATICS
Provide the reasoning about WHAT I did and WHY I did it. Use the second column to do this. Some questions that may help you get started are: what am I trying to find?; what method did I use?; why did I perform that mathematical step? Do not just recap that I multiplied or divided….I want rich descriptions. The letters do not need to line up with one another; type as much as you need to.
