2.1 Simplifying Rational Expressions
Today we defined a rational expression, discussed how to determine restrictions, and how to simplify a rational expression. Assignment: p. 52 #1, 2d, 3bfj, 4bg, 5adfqt, 6a, 8 4.2 Factoring Trinomials
We went over examples in which the leading coefficient was not 1. We discussed several methods including guess and check, decomposition, and the ac method in 2 forms. We also went over examples of perfect square trinomials. Assignment: p. 173 #2agn, 3aj, 4adg, 5aej, 6fg, 7ad, 8a 4.1 Factoring Trinomials
We started our 2nd unit by reviewing factoring of trinomials and binomials. Assignment: p.163 #3ac, 4ac, 5ah, 6aj, 7ak, 8ah, 9a, 11aen, 12bf, 13a, 14ab 1.7 Chapter 1 Review.
Students worked on review questions in preparation for the unit test on Monday. The Spirolaterals problem was handed out for students who were ready to move on. 1.7 Chapter 1 Review.
Students were given a chapter 1 review sheet to self reflect on their knowledge of the chapter 1 concepts. With this assignment in hand students should choose questions from the 1.7 review section p. 46-48 and other non-assigned questions from any section they feel the need to practice. Chapter 1 Test is on Monday. 1.6 Solving Radical Equations
We did a few examples demonstrating the method of squaring the root sign to solve the equation andf then checking for extraneous roots. Assignment: p. 43 #1ag, 2ag, 3acgk, 4, 8 We started today's class by doing a quiz on multiplying and dividing radicals. We marked this quiz in class.
1.6 Solving Radical Equations We started this section by discussing how to determine the restriction on a radical equation. We went over the first 3 examples in the workbook p. 40 and 41. No new assignment was given. 1.5 Multipling and Dividing Radicals
Today we finished our discussion on dividing radicals by going over some more examples of rationalizing the denominator. Assignment: p. 33 #1bc, 2aim, 3aip, 4aim, 5ap, 6ae, 7ae, 8ag, 9ahl Today we did a quiz on adding and subtracting radicals.
1.5 Multiplying and Dividing Radicals We continued our lesson on dividing radicals by looking at rationalizing a denominator containing one or two terms. Assignment: p. 33 #5ap, 6ae, 7ae, 8ag, 9ahl |
