We will complete our work on problem solving by doing more examples. We will use the guidelines for problem solving so that the best method can be chosen for each problem.

9-4 Solving Quadratic Equations Using Square Roots – We learned to solve quadratic equations by finding square roots. Then we determined reasonable solutions for real-world problems. When a quadratic equation is in the form ax2 + b = c, it can be solved by isolating the x squared term, simplifying to remove the coefficients, and then taking the square root of each side of the equation.
Assignment: Complete the assigned problems for homework.

Review and Practice for Algebra 1 E.O.C. Exam: Tutoring session.

We will solve problems that require creating a mathematical model. We will use formulas, graphs, and figures to set up the model. We will then find the result and check our work.

We will use a Venn diagram to model a situation that could come up in Cam's reptile business. It involves taking an interest survey of possible purchasers and then use a Venn diagram to analyze the results. We did a simulation of the process to demonstrate this concept.

We will solve word problems from chapter 1 in the Algebra 2 book.

We will study linear functions and their graphs. We will determine slopes and y-intercepts of a line. We will solve problems involving linear functions.

New Test on 9-3 Rewriting Radical Expressions.

We will do examples of solving equations starting at the algebra1 level and building up to some algebra 2 level equations. We will also do some application problems that involve reading the problem, writing an equation, and solving the equation.

We will look at the concepts of a function from a graphical point of view. We will do some example graphs involving a variety of functions.
