Daphne's reflection on Chapter 4

In this chapter we learned about square roots, cube roots, integral exponents, rational exponents and irrational numbers. I think I had the most difficulty with the rational exponents. It got confusing with the rational exponents when the exponent outside of the bracket was a positive or negative fraction (more so with the negative fractions). There were also many rules to remember, such as what to do with a power of a power, power of a product, power of a quotient, product of powers and quotient of powers. Working iwth integral exponents was not too bad because it was still pretty basic with no fraction powers. Working with irrational numbers was not too, too difficult, but with practice I eventually got the hang of it. Overall, I would have to say this chapter has been the hardest for me so far, and I would have liked to do better on the chapter test, but I didn't think it was too bad.
