I am currently taking an enriched grade 10 math course with very little math backround. Could anyone recommend a math book that would compliment the course?

Thanks

what does enriched mean? I believe I had Trigonometrie or Math Analysis in the 10th Grade, but that was quite a while ago. I have seen 12th graders learning to add and subtract fractions, so you will have to be a bit more specific.

I will give examples of what we have done so far, hopefully that will help

finding the incenter and equation of a triangle given 3 points, A, B, and C while finding the distance with the formula

Find the circumcenter of a Triangle given A, B, C

Find a, b, and c with the formula

working with radicals (just starting now)

equation systems. Eg:

but more complicated.

and linear programming

eg:

manufactures A and B have 5 cars each, and dealers C and D need 5 cars each.

To ship from A to C costs ... etc

What is the optimal shipping plan to reduce cost?

etc

Hope that helped

I think they have good tutorials on algebra on the web.
It's sometimes hard to find the right one for your style of learning.
I came across a free tutorial website and it was a great help for my algebra class during my high school years. You should consider buying a textbook style math book, if you prefer a "book", because they have lots of practices, as you know practice is the key. There are books called, "algebra in 20 minutes a day", and "practical algebra". You can check out those books as well.

Sounds like Algebra 2; try searching for an Algebra 2 book.

Looked, and that sounds about right (algebra II would translate to about grade 11 I think ). I should specify that in the examples I posted, we had to find the coordinates of the incenter (the point at which the angle bisectors meet ), and the equation of the inscribed circle. I had posted incorrect information.

The equation of the angle bisector can was derived with the help of the distance formula (distance from a point to a line ) described in the above post.

PS: I wish the edit button did not disapear!


Thanks

It could also be geometry
