hw #9-6 The Quadratic Formula

Not too much homework this time for next class...

Be sure to view the NEW videos on MathChamber Academy... I'm sure that you will find them helpful.  We didn't discuss the "discriminant" (b^2 - 4ac) in class (we will next time), but you can read about it in the book (section 9-6). Feel free to ask me questions as well.

hw #9-6
Due Wednesday, May 9 #11-21 Odd 23-27 All

Use the quadratic formula with a calculator handy, of course!.

hw #8-6 FACTORING IS FUN... AND EASY!!!

Essentially, we are in REVIEW MODE for Thursday's UNIT 8 TEST!!

SECTION 8-8 FACTORING BY GROUPING IS NOT ON THE TEST!!

The hw posting on MathChamber is up-to-date through the end of the unit.


Remember... ALWAYS LOOK FOR GCF's first... then, if you have a quadratic, give the "SYMMETRY OF THE BOX" a try. Knowing the SPECIALS will save you time, but the BOX will always work.


Watch for some videos this weekend... I am taking "REQUESTS" for specific problems if you get them to me early enough.
