Math reflection
Level 1-2
2c:
Wrong: 3 Corrected: 3 What I did wrong/What I should of done: I should have multiplied everything inside the brackets instead I didnt and added 3 onto the [Link]
2d:
Wrong:
Corrected: 1 What I did wrong/what I should of done:
The answer is
to the power of 0 when I thought it was
to the power of 1. Due to the
power being zero the number is always 1 therefore the answer is 1.
4: express 0.0045 in scientific notation/standard form
Wrong: 4.5 x Corrected: 4.5 x What I did wrong/what I should have done I had to count the decimal point spaces and I miss counted it and got one extra. That was the only reason why I got it wrong because I should have been more carefull.
Level 3-4 5b: 3(x+1) -2(3x-4)= -7
Wrong: 12x + 3 -6x + 9 = -7 6x + 7 = -7 6x = -14 x = 2.33
Corrected: 12x + 3 -6x + 8 = -7 6x + 11 = -7 6x = -18 x = -3
What I did wrong/What I should have done: The part I got wrong was when I was simplifying by multiplying -4 by -3 and I answered it 9 instead of 8 and it was completely off and changed my answer completely. Its funny how if you get one thing wrong you can change the whole answer and get it completely wrong.
6c:
Wrong:
Corrected:
What I did wrong/What I should of done I just did my math wrong and should have studied better this part, because I forgot the negative signs which is what happens to me most of the times because I get confused when you are multiplying by a negative sign. Level 5-6
9b: Wrong:
Corrected: = = =
What I did wrong/What I should have done My work was all correct that is why I also got 1 point on this problem, the only issue was that I rushed it too much and wrote down my answer incorrectly even though I knew how to get the right answer.
9c:
Wrong: 75 Corrected:
What I did wrong/What I should have done Even though Im not sure if I got this answer right because I didnt see it on my book I tried to figure out the other alike problems to see if I would get it right. So what I did was I tried to get the denominator as a number by itself so then I could figure out the answer. What I did wrong was everything, my working out was wrong same with my answers I dont even know what I did. 10. If K = , find K when m = (5.62 x , n = (7.97 x ) and p = (8.44 x
. Give your answer correct to 3 significant figures.
Wrong: 2.982 x
Corrected: mxm= (5.62 x 5.6 x
31.5844 x 3.15844 x
(3.15844 x
) x (7.97 x
25.1727668 x 2.51727668 x 10 x 2.51727668 x
(8.44 x 601.2211584 x ( 6.012211584 x 6.012211584 x )
0.4186939605883305 x 4.186939605883305 x What I did wrong/What I should have done What I did on my test was that I forgot how to do this so I tried it on my calculator but forgot to put the parenthesis in so I got a completely different answer. I should have had found out that m squared and p cubed where before multiplying then when I knew what they all equaled I would multiply m squared and n and then I would divide the answer by p cubed.
Level 7-8 11b. Wrong: X=1 Corrected
x = 6 6x 7x = 6
What I did wrong/what I should have done What I did wrong is I tried to solve the problem just how it started and got it wrong. What I should have done was gotten both xs by themselves to then solve it so I would have to get rid of the base by simplifying which was dividing them by 3.
12a Wrong:
Corrected:
13
a popular pizza restaurant sells 3 kinds of pizza:
A: cheese and tomato B: spicy meat C: roast vegetable In one week. 4 times as many cheese pizzas are sold as spicy meat pizzas. Forty more vegetable pizzas are sold than cheese and tomato. The total number of all 3 types of pizza sold in one week is 2,020. How many of each type of pizza are sold in one week? Wrong: A: 0.5 B: 12.5 C: 1957
Corrected: Cheese and tomato Spicy meat Roast veg 4x x 4x + 40
4x + x + 40 = 2,020
9x = 1980 x = 220 Answer: Spicy meat Cheese and tomato Roast veg. 220 880 920
What I did wrong/What I should of done: I tried to use the table and it worked but but I put roast veg as 160 instead of x + 40 and got a completely different answer. It is easy once you get the table right but during the test I didnt.
