Due Monday, February 2
factoring quadratic trinomials

• study table on page 462
• problem 14-37 (if you can factor using GCF do so first, then factor the result if you can)

factoring quadratic trinomials additional practice

• problems 11-18

Due Friday, January 29

factoring special polynomials

• do problems 43-48 These are important. As I've said, there are patterns. To do these you must "see" the pattern.

factoring special polynomials additional practice some problems but I'm not sure how many yet.

Due Tuesday, January 27
common factors (GCF)

• 
  
• do problems 14-58 even

Due Wednesday, January 28
common factors (GCF) problems 13-57 odd

Due Thursday, January 29 - note, I changed the assignment
factoring special polynomials perfect squares and difference of squares

• Read introduction and example problems. 
• do problems 18-38
• try problems 39-42 These are challenge problems. You factor the polynomial then factor the results. In some cases you may be able to factor 3 or 4 times.

Due Monday
section 9.4

• 9
• 10
• 11 (good problem, think about 9.2 investigation, not exactly the same but similar enough)
• 12 (do entire problem.......12d some of the answers will be in radical form, difference of squares, very important)
• 13
• 14 (factor, i.e. turn from plus minus to multiply, then reduce. Include restrictions)

Due Friday
As has been the case lately, read everything. The introduction gives the definitions of numerous essential terms. The investigation shows the relationship between factors and roots. You can skip Example B.
section 9.4
problems 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Due Thursday
section 9.3 problems 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

Due Wednesday,
section 9.3

• Read introduction - understand definitions of
• term
• polynomial
• monomial, binomial, trinomial
• Read and understand example A
• Complete investigation. This is where you learn that (x+25)^2 does not equal x^2+25
• Read and understand Example B, you will be doing this so understand
• Read last paragraph, understand the term: expand
• problems
• 1
• 2
• 4 - expand, distribute, combine like terms
• 5 - do not use rectangular diagram, instead use F.O.I.L.
• 6 - graph equations from 6b and 6c with calculator on same screen to verify they are the same (make second graph a fat line).
• 7 - Please explain why Heather is wrong and why you will never make the same mistake, EVER!

Due Tuesday
section 9.2 problems 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
section 9.2 additional problems problem 1

___________________________________________________
exponential practice problems

Due Monday, January 18
section 9.2

• Terms to learn: roots, line of symmetry
• Do investigation - this is an important problem. We will be doing a lot of this type of problem, rectangles with a given perimeter.
• Skip Example A
• read paragraph below example A
• read and understand example B

• Problems
• 1
• 2
• 3 - give answer as decimal and in radical form
• 5 - give answer as decimal and in radical form
• 6 - verify that the graph has the characteristics you determined in previous problem
• 7 - application

section 8.6 additional problems problems 1-4

Due Friday, January 16
section 9.1

• Problems:
• 7 - note this is not (time, ht) it is (horizontal distance, height)
• 8a, 8c
• 9
• 10

section 9.1 additional problems

• problems 3 and 6

Welcome to quadratics!
Due Thursday, January 15

section 9.1

• The introduction to the unit is loaded with information and you must read it all. What follows are important things to think about while reading.
• read introduction (32 is an important number)
• Read example A carefully, this is something we will be doing a lot of during the chapter, projectiles.
• Complete investigation. 
• Note using standard units the acceleration due to gravity is 32 feet per second squared, with metric it is 9.8 meters per second squared. They are the same number and mean the same thing, but different units. 
• When graphing set the window so the graph fills the screen. You need to get used to setting the window with projectile calculations so start now.
• Read and understand Example B. Make sure you understand radical expressions.

• practice problems:
• 1 - just use a graph, do not worry about the table
• 2 - you must know the definitions for standardized tests
• 3 - if the answer is not an integer leave answer as a radical expression
• 4
• 5
• 6 - this is real data. If you were to conduct this as an experiment the flare would move as predicted.
