Bellwork reviewed factoring and solving skills.

The remainder of the period we finished discussing Topic 5.  We discussed how to find x-intercepts by methods other than graphing, such as factoring and solving.  We also discussed how to create the equations of polynomials given the number of distinct real zeros (x-intercepts).

Hwk #26 is due tomorrow:
