Important announcements:
Test 3 is scheduled for Tuesday, 27 October 2009;
Quiz is scheduled for Thursday, 22 October 2009.
Today, we started to discuss Section 2.5: Solving Other Types of Equations Algebraically. Specifically, we solved several equations involving radicals. Keep in mind, you must check your answer(s) either by graphing or by placing the answers into x of the original equation. Also, you will need to use other methods of solving equations (i.e., methods discussed in other sections).
Keep in mind, if you are asked to use a particular method to solve a quadratic, then you are expected to use that method. If you are only asked to solve, then you may use any method, including graphing.
The next homework assignment is due on Tuesday, 27 October 2009 and consists of the following:
Section 2.4: # 23-65 odd
Section 2.5*: # 1-11 odd, 15-45 odd, 49-59 odd
Section 2.6**: # 7, 8, 11-27 odd, 47, 51, 55, 59, 63, 67, 71, 73, 75, 77.
* Note: We have not completed all methods yet from this section. We will discuss the other methods on Thursday.
** Note: We have not completed any examples yet from this section. We will discuss them on Thursday.
