We will review linear functions. We will also study lines that are parallel and perpendicular. We will use Desmos to graphically demonstrate the concepts of slope, y-intercept, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and lines in general

6-1 Rational Exponents and Properties of Exponents – We solved equations with rational exponents using the properties of exponents. We reviewed the Power of a Power, Power of the Product, Product of Powers, and Quotient of Powers Properties.
Assignment: For homework complete assigned problems.

6-2 Exponential Functions – We learned that an exponential function models the relationship between two quantities that differ by a constant ratio. Exponential functions are modeled using f(x) = abx where a - is the initial amount and b is the constant ratio. We became familiar with the terms asymptote, constant ratio, and exponential function.

We will review the first half of Algebra 1 using a topic by topic set of exercises. Today we will review basic vocabulary, algebraic expressions and order of operations. These topics are essential to continuing on in the study of algebra.

We will review the work completed in the first semester. We will work together on a review sheet, followed by a test on the material that we covered.

Colson and I worked to graph a series of lines.

In the process, we needed to use many of the principles of algebra.

We discussed how equal signs are true whether read from left to right or right to left. We discussed why we often can not combine constants and variables.

Colson did a great job of working hard and paying attention as I explained things to him.

We will complete our study involving equations of lines. We will find the equation of a line given appropriate information about the line. We will also learn to change equations from one form to another. We will do a variety of examples.

Exponent Laws: Multiplication Law with exponent terms (addition of exponents) and Division of Exponents Law/rule (Subtraction of exponents). Numerous practice examples with exponent laws and assistance with problem-solving with the worksheets provided.

We will graph functions using a table of values. We will write functions as a set of ordered pairs. We will graph linear functions using ordered pairs and using the slope and y-intercept.
