I prefer to do Statistics with Jared when he's physically present (especially when we're working on his project!) so instead we continued with the next section in Algebra (since he was on an algebra roll!). We started looking at solving polynomial equations. The solutions can be found by identifying the intersections of the curves using a graphing calculator. First we sketched the curves of the example (x^3 + 3x^2 = x + 3) revisiting the properties of end behavior for the cubic and the slope-intercept format for the linear equation, and discussed the x-values of the intersections. We then pulled up a graphing calculator on our respective browsers, and repeated the exercise to get exact values. Tomorrow we'll catch up with Statistics.
