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:
Agilemind Workbook, Topic 5 Analyzing Polynomial Functions, SAS 4 problems 4 a-d, 5 a-e, and 6.
Students also were given review for Thursday’s Topic 5 Test.
