Today some students did chapter 1 retake and students who were not retaking worked on stations activity to review sections 2.1-2.4 to review for tomorrow’s quiz. Here are the problems from today’s station as well as a a detailed key.

I can statements Chapter 2: sections 2.1-2.4

1. I can find the degree of a polynomial and its leading coefficient (Desmos activity)
2. I can find the x intercepts and a FACTOR of a polynomial given its graph (p205#25-26)
3. I can factor out a cubic polynomial using GCF then X method then find its roots ALGEBRAICALLY (p194#49-52)
4. I can describe and write the end behavior of a polynomial function in easy wording (up/down) as well as LIMIT NOTATION p25-28
5. I can find the vertex of a quadratic function from a vertex form (h,k) or from standard for (h=-b/2a) then write it in vertex form p169#27-32
6. I can find the Zeros of a polynomial functions including cubic and quartic if given a factor (synthetic division then x method)
7. I can find the multiplicity of the zeros of the polynomial function and identify the behavior if the function at those zeros (graph bounces even multiplicity or goes through the x intercept odd multiplicity ) p193#39-42
8. I can find the equation of a linear function (line) given 2 points in function notation (page 169 #7 through 12)
9. I can write the equation of a parabola given its graph and one point or given the vertex and one point (p169# 39-44)
10. I can divide polynomials using synthetic division and write the answer as POLYNOMIAL FORM or FRACTION FORM p205#7-12
11. I can write the equation of a cubic function (in factored form and standard form) using a given graph (bellwork Wednesday 11/20)
12. I can find the remainder using remainder theorem (p205#13-18)
13. I can test if a given divisor is a factor of the polynomial using the factor theorem (p205#19-24)

You will be working on the following SAT practice test. For full credit, you need to show annotations and your work.

2.4 Homework Corrections: students went up on the board and showed their work for p205#7-12,13-18, 19-24

Students worked on Desmos activity to explore polynomials end behavior. Here is a summary of the results.

Most of those problems were discussed in class and students went up on the board and showed their work for at least 2 problems of each set. Those are all the answers. One set (39-44) will be discussed Monday.
