Welcome Back! Hope you all had a fabulous spring break. Unfortunately we have to get back to work! Tomorrow you have a "mini-test" on Chapter 11. It covers sections 11-1 to 11-4. To prepare for the test, you can use the Triple Ripple Review that we did in class today or you can do problems from the book. Remember to fill out your notecard that you can use as a cheat sheet on the test.

Today we learned the Pythagorean Theorem. We can use this formula to find the missing side lengths of right triangles. Refer to your notes and examples if you need help when working on your homework.

Today we started Chapter 11 which focus is right triangles. Before we start with right triangles, we had to learn about irrational number and square roots. Remember irrational numbers are decimals that do not repeat and go on forever & ever.

Today we corrected homework from last night, went over the quiz we took last week Friday, and started to review for the test. If you finished your Practice Test in class, you should start studying tonight. You can fill out a notecard to use on the test. Here are somethings I recommend that you have on your notecard:
  • How to tell if a relation(set) is a function
  • Formula for slope and an example
  • y = mx + b where m = slope, b = y-intercept, and (x,y) is a point on a line
  • steps for graphing a linear equation
  • steps for graphing a linear system
  • steps for graphing a linear inequality
  • how do you know if it is a dashed or solid line
  • where do you shade
  • graphing linear inequality systems
  • scatter plots & trend lines
This is going to be one of the hardest tests you have taken so far so be sure to study!!

Today we learned how to graph linear inequalities and linear inequality systems. Everyone caught on very quickly because it it very similar to graphing linear equations. The only difference is the line that is drawn, it is either dashed or solid, and the graph is shaded.

Remember, Friday is the last day of the marking period, so the last day you can turn in missing work or make up quizzes is Wednesday.
