section 8.3 problems

• 1
• 2 - New directions - determine the equation to make the graph. Then graph using your calculator to verify that you did it correctly.
• 3 - All equations must be based off of y=abs(x+3). The transformations are accomplished by including negative signs at the appropriate places.
• 5 - the descriptions must include amount of shift left/right, up/down, and flip in which direction
• 8
• 10a
• 11 - read this carefully. The math is not difficult, however understanding the question and idea is.

section 8.2 additional practice problems

• 3 - the descriptions must include amount of shift left/right, up/down
• 4 - write the equation, graph to verify. 

section 8.2 problems

• 1 (the answer to 1d is an equation, not a number: substitute then simplify)
• 3 
• New instructions: what is the equation for the graph. 
• Use your graphing calculator to graph the equation to verify that you are correct. Set the Window to Zoom Standard.
• Obviously I can not check that you graphed the equation but please do. This is the connection between equation and graph. You ABSOLUTELY need to 'see' these things to do them, so graph them to see them.
• 4 (shift left, right, up, down, and how much: for example, the parent function is shifted 3 units left and 4 units down)
• 5
• 7

section 8.2 additional practice problem

• 2 (same as problem 3 above)

• Start class by checking homework. The graphing page is in my files and too difficult to find. However, I checked several peoples work so as a class you have those answers. The substitution and elimination pages are in the additional practice workbook which you should be familiar with by now. The booklet is on the table behind my desk.
• For tomorrow:  classic word problems please help each other out with this. I am only requiring knowledge of 3 types: coin, mixture, and wind/current. Examples can be found in the beginning of the reading. Complete the following problems:
