MTEL Middle School Math/Science: Algebraic Applications in Geometry - Chapter Summary

This chapter could help you to remember what you learned previously about algebraic applications in geometry. Look at the video lessons in this chapter and get set for similar questions on the MTEL Middle School Math/Science examination. The online videos feature the steps for solving quadratic equations and completing the square, and they explain the process of using the Pythagorean theorem. After this chapter, you'll be ready for any test questions about:

  • Identifying and graphing circles
  • Rewriting quadratic equations in order to complete the square
  • Developing visualization techniques to solve geometry problems
  • Using the Pythagorean theorem to calculate distance
  • Solving trigonometric functions

Learn from the enlightening narration of qualified instructors as well as from the written transcripts and video graphics. Take advantage of stop, play and pause features, and use the video tags to move quickly between topics. Your mobile device will allow you to take your lessons with you and study on-the-go.

Graphing Circles: Identifying the Formula, Center and Radius

1. Graphing Circles: Identifying the Formula, Center and Radius

Discover how to graph circles by finding key information like the center and radius. Identify circles by simply looking at the formula, and vice versa.
Write the Standard Form of an Equation by Completing the Square

2. Write the Standard Form of an Equation by Completing the Square

In math, we have a process called completing the square where you take your quadratic equation and rewrite it to make it easier to solve. Watch this video lesson to learn how you can do this process easily yourself.
How to Solve Visualizing Geometry Problems

3. How to Solve Visualizing Geometry Problems

A picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes drawing that picture can be like doing origami with your eyes closed. Practice translating complex problems into simple, meaningful images in this lesson.
Finding Distance with the Pythagorean Theorem

4. Finding Distance with the Pythagorean Theorem

How much faster is it to cut the corners in a race around the block? In this lesson, review the Pythagorean Theorem, and figure out how to solve without a right triangle.
Trigonometry and the Pythagorean Theorem

5. Trigonometry and the Pythagorean Theorem

Explore how the Pythagorean Theorem can be used in conjunction with trigonometric functions. In this lesson, take an inverse trigonometric function, and define all three sides of a right triangle.
