Hunter and I discussed a bit of practical math - how much annual salary might a family of 4 need to live "comfortably" in Jupiter, FL. He estimated about $70k. We related annual salaries to baseball contracts, as well, and discussed how much a pro athlete should live on a year if his only guaranteed lifetime income was from his current contract.
We then moved to the Algebra 2 book. I introduced how to solve rational equations by cross multiplying, getting the resulting equation in standard form, and solving for x by factoring and using the zero product property. We had to check for extraneous solutions, which are solutions that would make the denominator of the original equation equal to zero. Finally, we watched 2 Khan Academy videos about equivalent exponential expressions, and tried to work some exercises. They were challenging! About that time, Lance contacted Hunter regarding his car license plate, so I helped Hunter with the paperwork he'll need.
