Post for Saturday, March 5th - last post of the term

Hello everyone - the term is grinding to a close. Whew! It's been a wild ride. Next week is the final, and after that Spring Break. Me, I'm doing some housecleaning and catching up on a busy naps schedule...

The final is comprehensive, and covers everything we've done over the course of the term. That's chapters 1 - 5, section 8.8, and sections 12.1 - 12.3. Expect to see some expressions to simplify, some equations to solve, some functions to interpret and use, and some story problems to solve. We'll also graph lines, systems of lines, and linear inequalities, and solve systems of equations (with both 2 and 3 variables). It sounds scary when I use the technical language, but take your time and we'll get there.

You can use a calculator and a page of notes for the exam, just like the first two exams - but we will NOT get a redo, so make sure you check your work and take time to be careful.

In addition to the material we've covered on the first two exams, we'll have some material on systems of three equations with three variables. Here are some problems to look at:

(12.1 is a review of chapter 4)

12.2: 11, 13, 25, 27, 31, 35, 37, 41, 45


12.3: 7 - 23 odd

Good luck, and see you Saturday!

-Dave
