wednesday 12/9

In case you haven't figured it out yet, it is all about studying from here on out.  Unit exits on Thursday and then your finals next week.

Look at the review guides!!

Tuesday 12/8

alg II Hp -  Monday looked really good but today looked really rocky.  We may need to vote on whether to push the quiz until Friday, which would leave 1 day to review for finals.


alg I p - keep studying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  see review guide post earlier this week.

monday 12/4

alg II Hp -  I would try to get some studying if you are not too overloaded.  The review guide is up and from my observations it looks like most can graph from equation, some have trouble going from graph to equation and most are having difficulties putting into standard form (10-6).  On another note, most look good on the conic systems.


alg i p -  study for this unit test as it will be the most challenging and the most on the final.  The review is a post or two before this one.

alg I final review guide

Your final will be 2 parts:  1 MC and 1 free response.  There are 10 MC and 7 free reponse.   It counts as 15% of your total grade.
Most of it is from the last unit, though there is one 1-variable equation for you to solve and one "age" problem (both from unit 2).

The concepts are as follows:
writing a linear equation based on information - 3
finding a solution to a system - 6
verifying a point is on a graph - 2
understanding the slopes of parallel lines - 1
collinearity - 1 (see pg. 344)
scatterplot - 1  (see pg. 409-410)
line of best fit - 1
linear inequality - 1

Here are some problems you can work on:

1.  Write the equation that describes each line.

a)    slope = 4;  y-intercept = – 1                                                                                                                                  

c)  slope =  –1/2  ; ( 14, – 8 )                                              d)   ( 2, 6 ) & ( – 1, – 3 )  

2. Write an equation in slope – intercept form for the line that passes through ( 3, 4 ) and is

      parallel to y = – 2x + 3. 

3.  Solve each system.   a) x+y=2      2x-y=7

                           b)   y=x-4     y = -x+2

                           c)  x= 1-6y     2x - 3y = 32

4.  Christina has some quarters and dimes. There are 40 coins altogether and the

      total value of the coins is $6.40. How many quarters and how many dimes does

      she have?

5.  Solve each equation.

a)  12x  –  3  +  x  =  23                                             b)         – 8  =   4 (  x  +  2  ) 

c)    3/4 ( 8x – 4 ) + 3 = 5

6.  1.     Mr. Russell loves his chili night.  He makes 2 kinds.  The first has 3 cans of beans and 2 cans of tomatoes, which costs $10.50.  The second has 1 can of beans and 4 cans of tomatoes but costs $14.50.  How much does each can of produce cost?

7  Show all solutions to:  y is "less than" 2x-3

8.  Write an equation for a vertical line.

9.   Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system. Show your work.

    x + 3y = 6 and   4x  –  5y  =  7     point (3,1)

10.  Write an equation in slope – intercept form for the line that passes through ( 3, 4 ) and is

      parallel to y = – 2x + 3. 

                                      

                                                        

Linear Function and SOE review guide

This will be your most challenging test to date so I suggest you work hard in class and ask questions when you have them.

Here is what you are expected to know:

how to write the equation for a linear function
how to solve a system of equations
how to set up a system from a word problem
how to create a graph that shows two people of different speeds racing

Here is a video on how to solve systems
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nok99JOhcjo

here is a video on how to solve the word problems

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFjCb-vhdhM


Don't forget to plug in the first variable to solve for the second when solving systems!

Knowing the slope formula helps but you can still find slope by plotting the points on a coordinate plane and then counting rise and run.

I saw on your projects that many of you were not sure how to write the equation for a vertical or horizontal line.  Check out the projects on the wall to see how that is done, ask us or google how to do so.

A-2 HP Conics guide

I decided that we are going to need to remaining time to master the basic skills of conics so there isn't any application problems where you see the real-world context.  I think that is to your advantage as you won't have to interpret; just do what the problem says to do.


There are 6 problems

1 put an equation of a conic into standard form and graph

1  stating domain and range in interval notation

1  Writing the equation of a conic from a graph

2 writing an equation for a conic from a description

1 solving a system that includes at least one conic equation

...and an extra credit!

With the exception of the system, you should have all examples of these types of problems in your packet.

The systems are in your book on page 267.  Don't forget that there can be up to 4 answers or as low as none in some cases.

friday 12/4

alg II hp - start looking at the final study guide as well as making sure you can graph a circle, ellipse and hyperbola.


alg I p =   start studying for your linear function/ system of equation test next thursday.

alg II HP review guide

8 problems on the test, each requiring you to read the problem carefully and solve.


sketching a graph based on a description of roots, y-int and end behavior - 1

Writing equations from description of function (roots and y-int) - 2

Finding solutions to a polynomial function (involves factoring)-2

Volume for a prism or cylinder with polynomial edge lengths - 3


One of the volume problems does involve reasonable domain so make sure you know what domain means and when it is reasonable.

Knowing end behavior (pos/neg/even/odd) is important for the graph and writing equations.

One of the solving problems asks about unreasonable solutions, make sure you know how to tell if an answer is unreasonable.

There was no room for Pascal's Triangle so no need to rededicate yourself on that concept.

Those videos are still in a previous post if you need them!

here are some good places to practice.

p. 171 #30-31, 51-52
p. 172 #56
p. 194 any + #50
p. 202 any + 47
p. 216 any 52
p. 223 #3-6

8 problemer på testen, som hver kræver dig til at læse og løse problemet omhyggeligt.
skitsering en graf baseret på beskrivelsen af rødder, y-int og ende adfærd - 1
Skrivning ligninger fra beskrivelsen af funktion (rødder og y-int) - 2
Finde løsninger på et polynomium funktion (vedrører factoring) -2
Volumen er den prisme eller cylinder med polynomiel kant længder - 3
Et af volumen problemer indebærer rimelig domæne, så skal du vide, hvad domæne betyder og- Når det er rimeligt.
Kendskab til ende adfærd (pos / neg / lige / ulige) er vigtig for grafen og skrive ligninger.
Et af problemerne løse spørger om urimelige løsninger, skal du vide, hvordan du fortælle, hvis et svar er rimeligt.
Der var ikke plads til Pascals trekant, så behovet for at dedikere dig selv på que koncept.
Disse videoer er stadig i et tidligere indlæg, hvis du har brug for dem!
her er nogle gode steder at øve.

alg II HP review guide

Hi students,

Here are the concepts on the test, most are in ch 3 but one or two are carry-overs from the last unit.

be able to:

solve a system of non linear equations
solve any quadratic (with real or imaginary solutions)
solve a word problem with initial velocity and height
solve a word problem that asks about maximum height
solve a word problem that asks how long something is in the air (if it travels parabolically)
list domain and range for a quadratic
write a quadratic equation from 2 real solutions or 1 imaginary one


Other thoughts:
Somewhere in there I will fit in some transformations of a quadratic.
I don't see graphing making it on this test but hopefully you know that well after the quiz.  I suppose you could solve the system by graphing.
If you want to practice for the test, check out the sub units in chapter 3, practice problems in those units (odd answers in the back of the book) and then bring your questions in for me to answer.
I will update this if anything changes.

Some problems in book:
p.  99 any
p. 101 #62
p. 127 any
p. 128 #62, 64
p. 136 any

Look in your class work and warm ups for writing equations from solutions.

Monday/ tuesday 9/21

You may have noticed that I was not in class on these days.  However, make sure you are still doing the work that the substitute assigns.  I will expect that you have done it and continue to move on with the course when I return.
Se you soon.
