Allgebra 2 AB (Period 4) Assignments

CSTs are getting close. Review all your notes. Look especially at conic sections....TEST TOMORROW, Tuesday.
Logs, exponentials, quadratics, conics, and don't forget our linear equations.

Ohhhhh long division with POLYNOMIALs!!
Page 406: 9,10
CSTs in two weeks. Study logs, conics, and quadratics!!!!!

STUDENT LED Conferencing tonight! bring your parent, your notebook, your grade sheet. and your textbook.

Also suggested problems to attempt after school: pages 336/337: 1-11. Practice recognizing the different conic sections and their components.

Conic sections continued. Lets try some hyperbolas. Remember there are a number of typos in our textbook on this section. Rely on your class notes and do problems 13, 17 21 from page 320.

CSTs are coming. Keep studying your notes. Logs are returning soon.

Study complex numbers, circles and ellipses.

Try problems 9 and 10 page 314.

Also study page 310 mixed review.

Conic sections: what is the difference between circles and ellipses?

Practice: page 308/309: 6-24; 4n+2

Now that we know the quadratic equation, we have to be aware of outcomes: Complex numbers. What is an imaginary number? How do you graph it? How do you operate on it?
Page 225: 6-25 all

You HAVE to memorize the quadratic equation, you know the one about the burgalars stealing four air conditioners at two am!

You need to put this in your arsenal of methods to solve quadratics: factoring, completing the square, graphing, and now the quadratic formula.

Remember the FOIL, and the FOIL-inverse: factoring using the X.
Go ahead, try it....
page 263: 10-19.
And just because we are doing quadratics, don't forget your rules for logs!

Bring back class notes signed by parent/guardian. Make sure you have your materials and are ready to work.

Multiply:
(x+1)(x-3)
(x+1)(x+3)
(x-1)(x-3)
(x-1)(x+3)
(x+5)((x-4)
(x-3)(x-6)
(2x-1)(x+3)
(3x+4)(2x+5)
(x+2)(x-9)
(3x+1)(x-3)

We begin mester 4 with review of logarithms and new investigation into quadratics. Let's use three different representations in our comparision of a variety of equations.

a) y=x y= abs x y=x^2
b) y=x-3 f(x)= abs(x) -3 y=x^2 -3
c) y=x+6 f(x) = abs(x) +6 f(x)=x^2 + 6
d) f(x)= 2x y=2 abs (x) f(x)=2x^2
e) y= 1/3 x y= 1/3 abs (x) y= 1/3 x^2
f) f(t) = 5/2 t + 2 s= 5/2 abs(t) +2 f(t)= 5/2 x^2 +2
g) y= x-1 f(x)= abs(x-1) f(x)= (x-1)^2
h) h(x)= x+2 -1 y= abs(x+2) -1 y= (x+2)^2 -1
i) y= 1/2(x-3) +4 y=1/2 abs(x-3) +4 y= 1/2 (x-3)^2 +4
j) f(t) = 3(t-4) -1 f(t) = 3 abs(t-4) -1 s= 3(T-4)^2 -1

Continuing to study: read notes, go over quizzes and tests and revise work.
Final is coming....
page 170: 13-24

page 134: 16, 18, 20, 22
Do #16 twice: first as if there is a typo and the first line is x +y + 2z =0; and then again if the first line is x +y + 2x =0.
Study linear equations, classifications, and matix multiplication for quiz tomorrow.

Finish review problems started in class: 41 problems in 82 minutes. Do you know how to graph linear equations quickly? Can you convert from fractions form to decimal to percent WITHOUT a calculator? What does PEMDAS mean?
Logarithms are the inverse of exponential equations. Can you do the more elementary power functions?

Review notes on graphing, powers, and logs. Go over matix addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

Review linear equaitions in their four representations:
tables, equations, graphs, and words.

Study exponential to logarithmic equivalent equation.

Linear equations.
Using the California Statndards Book:
Page S31: 1-30; S35: 1-16; S39: 1-13

Math tools and materials are due today. All students should have 3-ring binders with notes and work organized. Geometry students need complete set of math tools (protractor, compass, ruler) and Algebra 2 students need ruler (or straightedge if using graph paper).

Parents: Although calculators are NOT allowed on standardized tests administered by the State of California (CAHSEE, CST) and we do not recommend students relying on them, calculators are allowed in Mr. Berriman's classroom for exploration and experimentation. Mr. Berriman recommends the TI-84+ graphing calculator. It is an expensive initial investment ($100+) but your student will be able to use it through their high school, college, and personal carreers.

3-ring binder, straightedge, and all materials are due today. Make sure you have studied your notes on number systems, n/n^2/n^3, power rules, and know your class rules.
Factor table is to be completed by today.

Students are to take Class Rules/Expectations notes home for a parent/guardian signature.
Students are to review Rules/Expectations and are expected to know consequences of actions in Mr. Berriman's classroom.
