Review for Assessment - the only thing that this review is missing is finding the vertex. Be sure to do this on at least one problem.
Proficiency Check Corrections - do in class
HW - none but to study... Assessment over Unit 3, Lesson 4 is on Monday!
Notes: a key to the review can be found here...
QUICK UPDATE: I just finished putting in all homework scores through HW#45 if they were turned in on time. I will work on getting late work posted by Sunday night. Please check and see what you're missing!

We looked today at Investigation 1 - a review of solving linear equations (and inequalities).
page 226-227: #1-5
Homework #40: page 237 #1 - show a check for each solution
Tuesday, 12/6
We continued our look at solving inequalities with the focus: What patterns regarding equation solving can we apply to solving inequalities? Which can we not apply?
page 227: #6-7, 8
SUMMARY: When solving inequalities, if you divide by a negative number (coefficient of x), you must change the inequality sign. (< to > or vice versa) You can avoid this IF you always keep the x positive.
TWO DEMONSTRATIONS: MathTV - look under "algebra", then "inequalities" (it's down the bottom of the list). Choose #1 or #2. KhanAcademy - this one is long and has several different (progressively more difficult) examples.
Homework #40: I re-assigned (gave more time for) #40 because I wanted to make sure that all solutions were checked, especially in regards to the new "rules" we uncovered today.
Wednesday, 12/7
Introduction to Quadratic Formula: How can we solve a quadratic equation if is doesn't factor?
page 229 #1-3... focus on #3!
In case you were absent or didn't have a chance to finish checking your answers in class, here are the answers to #3:
a.) a= -50, b=2600, c= -22,500
b.) 26
c.) -15.03
d.) x=10.97 & x=41.03
e.) You can check by...
- setting your table to the answers and see if the y-value is almost 0
- calculate the roots on your calculator graph
- plug your answers back into the original equation; you should get very close to 0
f.) x=10.97 & x=41.03 (same as part d)
DEMONSTRATIONS: Our problems today were pretty straightforward. The links below should be a good refresher...

Homework #41 - It's just like problem #3 that we did in class.
