Chapter 6 Review

On Friday, November 9, 2018 Students were given the review for the upcoming Chapter 6 Test.  Date of the test is still to be determined.

There was a typographical error on the review that was discovered after copies were made and passed out:

Problem 3 c)         (4x-3x) should be (4x-3)

For the answers:   3 c)  The Leading Coefficient should be -3840  (not -240).

Chapter 6 Review

Monday, November 12, 2018

Bellwork reviewed finding Zeros of polynomials using graphing, division, and solving.

Hwk #28 is due today.

The remainder of the period students were shown how to factor the sum and difference of perfect cubes.  We also began our discussion on Sec 6-8, expanding binomials that are raised to a power.

Hwk #29:    Sec 6-8

Page 356.  Problems 18, 34, 36, 40, 48, 54

Due date for Hwk #29 is still to be determined.

Friday, November 9, 2018

Bellwork gave students practice on PSAT style math questions.

Hwk #27 is due today.

Students received the review for the Chapter 6 Test.  Date of the test is still to be determined.

The remainder of the period we finished our discussion on Solving Polynomials.  Students were given examples of how to solve a polynomial equation by taking these steps:

  1.  Graph to find all EXACT real zeros.
  2. Use division to turn the original polynomial into a polynomial that can be solved, most of the time it will become a Quadratic.
  3. Find the remaining zeros.  If the result of division leads to a Quadratic then Factoring, Square Roots, Completing the Square, and Quadratic Formula can be used.

Hwk #28 is due on Monday, November 12, 2018

Work MUST be shown to receive credit.
