Helpful Resources for understanding Polynomials
As mentioned in class, the unit on Polynomials takes about one month and covers a lot of material. To help you get through the unit successfully, I've included links to various resources that should help strengthen your understanding and clarify any questions you may have.
The first and probably most important resource is a link to the textbook chapter on polynomials. Explanations, practice problems, and step-by-step solutions; the text has it all.
The next resource is a beginning guide to polynomials slideshow. This guide covers terminology, the parts of a polynomial, as well as addition and subtraction of polynomials.
Today's final resource is not just a guide, but the ultimate guide to adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing polynomials. Lot's of practice questions with answers for instant feedback. Get it while they last right here.
As we progress through the unit, I'll provide additional links to resources.

Systems of Equations/Inequalities Test Results

If you took the test, but do not see your score, please see me as there were tests with no codes and others with the same code.

Extra Resources for Our Current Unit
Whether you're trying to ace
Algebra, or just make sure you pass, there are resources available to
help you meet either goal. All of the resources are available from the
right side of this blog, but the links are here to save you some time.
Let's take a look:

1. Probably most important is to download the textbook chapter here.
2. Practice questions from Interact Math. Broken down into 12 subsections of this unit, there are over 1100 practice questions in all.

Return of the Teaser
A true teaser this week. No tricks, gimmicks, or gotchas. Email your answer by Friday evening. Here you go:
Using any or all of the four operations ( +, - x, /) as many times as you like, this week's winners will make the numbers on the left of the equal 36.

For Your Viewing Pleasure
If you would like additional help with parallel/perpendicular lines and graphing inequalities, there are links to two videos below.
The first, determining which lines are parallel and which are perpendicular, can be found here. The second video, graphing inequalities from start to finish, is here. Enjoy!
