Finishing up the Polynomials

The schedule announced in class has changed a bit because of storm.

10/29  Hurricane - no school
10/30  Hurricane damage - no school
10/31  Recap of complex numbers
           HW work through packet, answer key for 1-10 are here
11/02  Go over Complex Conjugates Proof; More Polynomial Problems
           HW finish packet, answer key is here

11/05  Finding Equations of Polynomials
           HW finish handout
11/06  Professional Development Day - no school
11/07  Test of Polynomials (E-Block)
11/08  Test of Polynomials (G-Block)

Looking forward:
The rest of the chapter is on Rational Functions (fractions with polynomial numerators and denominators) which will end in a quiz or test.
11/12  Veterans' Day
11/22  Thanksgiving
11/26  we start a full week of school!

Polynomials

Chapter 2 begins with Polynomials. The beginning of the polynomial chapter is mostly review - and then it gets complex (literally!).  The chapter includes how complex numbers relate to polynomial functions.  We will be spending a couple of weeks on polynomials and complex numbers.  Quick, skill-based check-in quizzes could happen at any time after the first three days of basic instruction so stay on top of your homework.

The homework problems on complex zeros are from the old edition of the book which used to take two sections to cover the material.  I liked some of the problems that were deleted in the new edition so you will be given copies of the pages.

10/15  2.1  Review Linear and Quadratic facts

           HW p.77/48,50,52 and p.169,173/11-17 odd, 33-41 odd, 81-84
