Scribe Post Jonathan - September 8th

Today in math class we basically went over what we learned yesterday. We started of the class by taking our daily quiz. Today we talked about square roots with exponents. Basically A^n/m = n/A^m. For example if its 2/25^1 is 5^2. We also learned that any term being multiplied by an expression including addition and subtraction you use the distributive property.

Ex: X^-1 - y^-1/x-y = -1/xy
1/x - 1/y/ x-y
xy(1/x - 1/y) =xy/x - xy/y= x-y

This works because xy distributed gets you xy/x - xy/y then you cross multiply and you get rid of the x and the y then cancel eachother so your left with x-y.

The coolest thing to me is when we learned the equation that allows us to find property taxes.the equation is that (v x .5485- 4850) / 1000 x 31.44 this will help you latter on in life so that you dont get screwed over by the government when they come to collect your property taxes.
