Bellwork reviewed the use of Factored Form of a Quadratic Function to find:  x-intercepts, solutions, zeros, Line of Symmetry, Vertex, y-intercept, and graph of the function.  Also reviewed was the skill of factoring a quadratic.

The remainder of the period we continued discussing sec 5-5, Solving Quadratic Equations.  We discussed solving by factoring and by using square roots.

Hwk #19 will be due next week (date TBD):  Pages 270-271, Problems 2, 3, 5-7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 51, 52
