Chapter 3 Test on Friday

We are having our Chapter 3 Test on Friday.
Make sure you have memorized the following formulas:

Distance Formula
Slope Formula
Point-Slope Formula
Slope-Intercept Formula
Standard Form of a Linear Equation

If you memorize the above formulas and are able to understand and do all of the problems that were assigned for the Chapter 3 Review and the Chapter 3 Test, you will be well-prepared for Friday's test.

CNotes 3 • Graphing Linear Equations

Today we did notes on Graphing Linear Equations. We have already covered this in our homework, so these notes are an attempt to consolidate what we have learned so far. If you weren't here, I have three things for you to glue into your Interactive Notebook. So don't start these notes until you get the inserts.







HW 3.4b • Due Friday, May 1

April 30, 2015
Set 3.4b • pp. 128-129

Tuesday, April 28, 2015
Set 3.4a • pp. 127-128
1-26 (do 2 skip 2)

Work through the examples on 123-124

On #1-8, you will plug the information into the point-slope formula and then manipulate the equation to get it into standard form (Ax + Bx = C)

On #9-18, you will first need to use the slope formula to determine the slope, then using the slope and one of the points, plug into the point-slope formula and again express your final answer in the standard form.

HW Graphing Packet • Linear Equations

April 21st, 2015

Today, I handed out a packet of graphing worksheets that we began going over in class. We worked through 295, 297, 299, 300, and 302. They are not due yet, but it would be good to be caught up on these by Thursday.

HW 3.1 • Due Tuesday, April 21

April 20, 2015
Set 3.1 • pp. 95-96

#1-64  (÷3)

Today, we looked at the Rectangular Coordinate Point system, also known as, the Cartesian coordinate system (named after French Mathematician and Philosopher, Rene Descartes). In particular, we looked at how to find the distance between two points and how to find the slope of a line.  Read through the chapter, and then do the indicated problems.

Distance Formula (p. 89)
Slope Formula (p. 91)

Interactive Notebook Due Thursday
Complete the questions and summaries for Chapter 7 and 8

7.1  Integers and Exponents
What are the properties of exponents?

7.2  Roots and Radicals
What are the properties of roots and radicals?

7.6  Exponents and roots
What is the relationship between exponents and roots?

8.1  Complex Numbers

HW 8.2b • Due Tuesday, April 14th

April 13, 2015
Set 8.2b • pp. 438-439
#71–91 (d2s2)

#94 or 95 • 3D Artifact

Today's assignment is working with the Pythagorean Theorem. If you were not here, make sure to read pages 435-436 before trying to complete the problems #71-91.

As for problems 94 or 95, you need to pick one of these problems, and make the cube (or the rectangular box) according to the dimensions that are given.  I don't want you to draw it, I want you to make a 3D artifact. I then want you to work the problem to find the measurement of the diagonal, and then I want you to measure your diagonal on your artifact, and see how close you came.

No New Homework Today

Almost a third of the class was absent today, and so there is no new homework. However, some of you still have make-up work, which is all due on Friday, as this is the end of the Fall Trimester.

P.O.W. • February 16 – 20

Extra Credit
The Problem of the Week is due  at the beginning of the class on Friday.

8^(2x + 1) = 4^(1 – x)

The ^ symbol indicates that what follows is an exponent. For example, x^2 = "x squared." So, in this week's P.O.W., 8 to the power of 2x + 1 equals 4 to the power of 1 – x.

Happy solving.
