alg I review guide for final

Hi classes,
There will be a final exam on semester 2.  There are  2 parts; multiple choice and free response.  The MC will be 15 questions and be worth 4 points.  The free response will have 6-7 questions and be worth 6 points each.


Exponential and exponential functions - 3
Systems of equations - 2
Quadratics - 12
polynomials - 3
graphing - 2
system of equations -2


We just took our quadratics test and a lot of what is on that test is on the final.  You can re-do those problems to prepare for the quad portion of the final.


We will do problems in class that will serve as our review guide.  Ask questions if you have any.

Wednesday 5/23/18

alg II hp -   We had a great math task on rational functions and horizontal asymptotes.  No hw.   D=rt is tomorrow!




alg II -  Surpressa!  Performance task day!  Tough task but you are stronger for doing it!  Absentees will pay for it later!!!!   Check out the study guide for the test on Friday.



alg I - After the quiz review, we had a walkabout on quadratics.   These will help you for the test next Tuesday.  There is also a review guide in another post that is good to review.  Work from today is due Friday.

alg I Quadratics review guide

The quadratics test will have 10 problems on it.  They are:

4 solving quadratic equations
1 solving a system that has a quadratic equation in it
1 writing an equation from solutions
1 application involving a rocket's path
1 graphing a quadratic equation
1 writing an equation from a list of ordered pairs
1 short answer on how to solve a quadratic equation


I can't overstate how much you should learn those problems from the last 2 quizzes (which were essentially the same quiz twice).   make sure you can do every problem on them well.


Outside of the quiz, you can work on these problems

1.  graph the quadratic function:  y = x^2 - 12x + 20
2.  what are the solutions to the graph in problem #1
3.  find the highest point on graph of the function, y = -6x^2 + 24x -3
4.  Write the equation to a quadratic function that has solutions, x = 3, -5
5. Write a rule for the sequence (4, 6, 10, 16...).  What is the 15th term?
