    COACH STONES’ “EXPECTATIONS FOR SUCCESS”
    Dear parent:
    It is time for a new school year to begin, bringing with it a multitude of exciting challenges. I am looking forward to working with you and your student over the next several months. We have much to accomplish but I am confident that working together as a team we can all be successful.
    Please feel free to contact me through the school office or by E-mail ( my E-mail address is stone@scsk12.org ) I will try to respond promptly to your inquiries. I believe that good communications between you, your student and me are essential to a successful year in Algebra I or Algebra II.
    Back to Top
    
    I. GENERAL GOALS
    The student will:
    1. Develop a proficiency in basic Algebra I and/or Algebra II skills.
    2. Improve logical reasoning skills.

II. GRADING PROCEDURE
Grades will be determined on a “total points” basis. Opportunities for points will come only from quizzes, tests, randomly collected home work and / or class work assignments, and extra credit opportunities. (Please see the “Possible Extra Credit” sheet given to students on the first day of each nine weeks or on my web page ( http://colliervillehs.scsk12.org/%7Estoner/Default.html ) for details about extra credit opportunities.) A “recommended homework assignment” will be given every day and reviewed the following day in class. (A list of the daily “recommended homework assignments” for my classes are also located on my web page). However, this homework will only be collected for a grade on a random basis at the discretion on the teacher. Therefore, it will be up to the student to stay current in their “recommended homework assignments” and up to the parent to check to make sure that their student is doing all of these home work assignments so that their student will be adequately prepared for quizzes and tests.

III. PARENTS ROLE
Parents should plan to take an active role in their students’ education. They may do this by checking:

1. To make sure their student is present in class every day unless they are seriously ill. (Parents might also want to limit the number of days their student is allowed to miss even for school approved activities.) Statistics have shown over the past few years that students who miss more than 10 days of class (whatever the reasons) have great difficulty being successful in algebra I and/or algebra II.

2. To make sure that their student is taking complete lecture and demonstration notes in class every day (This can be checked by making sure they have class notes concerning definitions and have recorded the various examples demonstrated each day.)

3. To make sure that their student is completing their “recommended homework assignment” every day and that their student is also checking their answers (for correctness) with the those provided in the back of the book.

4. To make sure that if their student is having any difficulty understanding the current material, they are asking questions in class and are asking the teacher to demonstrate more of those types of homework problems.

5. To make sure that their student is seeking tutoring help. (If after the additional demonstration in class the student still is not completely understanding the concept, or if the student has been absent and needs additional help in getting themselves caught up they should seek tutoring help.) I am available for tutoring every Monday through Friday before school beginning at 6:15 A.M. This tutoring is on a “first come first serve” basis so, students should plan to arrives early to insure themselves of actually receiving help. ( I award one tutoring point for each day a student receives my tutoring help. )

6. To make sure that their student is taking advantage of the online tutoring programs listed below:

IV. MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES

1. The “Algebra I or Algebra II” textbook.

2. A folder with pockets filled with notebook paper and a pencils.

3. A graphing calculator is required for all Algebra I and Algebra II students. (I recommend the students buy a “Texas Instruments TI-83 Graphing Calculator.” It is the only one that I will be demonstrating in class and if the student has any other brand or model they will be responsible for learning how to use it on their own.)

4. The “Algebra I and/or Algebra II - Formula and Algorithm” packet given to students at the beginning of the year.

V. PREPAREDNESS

1. Student’s are to bring their supplies with them to class on a daily basis. Failure to do so may result in a discipline referral being written.

2. Each student is expected to to spend at least 30 minutes per night attempting to complete the “recommended homework assignment” and / or in quiz or test preparation.

3. It is expected that students take their textbook and their “recommended homework assignment” sheet home with them every day. This should be done in case the student is absent due to some unforeseen circumstance. The student will still be able to attempt any “recommended homework assignment” work before returning to school and/ or prepare for scheduled quizzes or tests.

4. Students are responsible for finding out about assignments missed during any absence from class and obtaining a copy of all class notes from a classmate. This should be done by acquiring an “assignment buddy” for the class and asking them for the current “recommended homework assignment.” Students may also discover the assignment missed during an absence by checking their syllabus or by checking my web page . Student's should then attempt the appropriate assignment before returning to school. If they are unsuccessful in understanding the material on their own, they should seek tutoring help from a classmate or from the teacher on the first day they return to school following any absence.

 

VI. HONESTY AND PERSONAL INTEGRITY
I place a great deal of trust and confidence in the students concerning being honest during all quizzes and tests. Cheating will result in a zero being recorded on that quiz or test, a discipline referral being written, parents being notified, a two day “In School Suspension” being assigned and an automatic “U” in conduct for that nine week grading period.

VII. CLASSROOM POLICIES

1. Be “in” your seat when the tardy bell rings. Student’s should also already have their pencils sharpened, the previous day's assignment out and on their desk, and begin reading the textbook concerning the current days assignment. Failure to do so may result in a tardy slip being written.

2. Always bring an “Admit Slip” from the Attendance Office with you to class on the first day you ` return from an absence. Failure to do so may result in a tardy slip being written.

3. Always be courteous and respectful to your teacher and to your classmates.

4. Raise your hand and wait to be recognized by the teacher before speaking out in class.

5. Use the restroom and water fountain between classes.

6. Always be awake and alert during class. Failure to do so may result in the student being required to stand for the remainder of class or a referral being written.

7. Tests and quizzes are listed on the class room white board at least a week in advance and are always announced in class several days in advance. These tests and quizzes will only cover material that has been discussed and demonstrated in class, followed by a “recommended homework assignment” and then reviewed the next day in class. It is therefore, the student’s responsibility to make up quizzes and tests missed during an excused absence. This can be accomplished by coming before school and taking a “make up” test or quiz. All “make up” work must be completed by 6:55 A.M. the second day after returning from an excused absence. (If the student is absent for an extended time, the student will be given an additional day for every day they missed. For example, if a student misses three days in a row. They will be given two days allowance for the first day they missed and an additional day allowance for both the second and third days they missed. This gives them a total of four days to make up their assignments and complete any and all of their “make up” quizzes or tests. (All “make up” quizzes and tests will cover the same material but will be a completely different version and/or type of the quiz or test.)

8. Students who are absent for any pre-planned school sponsored event (ie. Field trip, sports activity, band or chorus contest, etc.) are responsible for informing me several days in advance of the absence and for attempting any missed assignments before returning to school.

9. Remember that all rules set forth in the Shelby County and Collierville High School Student Handbooks are also applicable to this class.

10. In an effort to keep both you and your student aware of their current grade in this class at the end of both the 3RD, 6TH and 8TH weeks of each “nine week grading period” parents are expected to print their students grades off of the “Power Grade” web site. The student is then responsible for having that report signed by their parents and returned to me the following day for a grade.

11. Students who fail a chapter test may opt to take a “RETEST” over that material. In order to be illegible for the “RETEST” a student must: notify the teacher of their plans to take the “RETEST” on the day we go over the regular test in class, they must complete an additional assignment given by the teacher covering the material to be retested, and they must attend a morning tutoring session to answer any questions they have concerning the material. They must take the “RETEST” within a week of the regular test in the morning before school. Both the original test score and the “RETEST” score will then be averaged into the students’ nine weeks grade.

List of possible parent actions which might help your student become more successful academically

Encourage them to spend “whatever time it takes” for them to complete all of their home work. Different students have more difficulty in different subjects or with different assignments in the same subject. So, help them to understand that they may have to spend extra time in these areas or subjects to be successful.

Encourage them to ask questions in class and to take complete notes of class lecture and demonstrations.

Require them to bring all of their books home every night. The Shelby County Policy recommends that the average high school student should have between 1.5 and 2.5 hours of home work five nights a week (Monday through Thursday and at sometime during the weekend.) Require your student to have a minimum of 1.5 to 2.5 hours of “set“ study time in a supervised area (like the dining room or kitchen table) where you can make sure they are actually spending their study time wisely. Parents should check to make sure that all assignments for all classes are completed each night before the “set“ study time is over. If these assignments are not completed the study time should be extended until all work is completed. If your student completes all of their home work quickly, the remaining time should be spent in reviewing previous work which was difficult for them. Students could also preview their future assignments.

If the teacher has not already given out a syllabus for their class require your student to have an assignment notebook. The student should then write the daily assignment down in this notebook and have the teacher sign beside the assignment each day. If there is no new assignment in the class for the day, still have the student write out the words “ no new assignment” and have the teacher sign beside this notation.

Encourage your student to take advantage of study groups or tutoring opportunities. They could work with one or more friends on a daily basis who are doing well in the class in which your student is not being successful. You could also, check on the Collierville High School web page or call your students’ guidance counselor to find out the time when teachers offer tutoring help You might contact your students guidance counselor to obtain a list of Beta club members who may serve as student tutors. Private tutors may also be helpful if these suggestions are not convenient for you or your student.

Encourage your student to take advantage of some or all of a teacher’s extra credit opportunities. However, be aware that not all teachers offer extra credit opportunities.

Encourage your student to organize their work and social schedules in such a manner as to ensure time for them to obtain an appropriate amount of sleep. Students who suffer from sleep deprivation do not pay attention in class.

Steps for helping your student to be “ Successful”

1) Encourage them to “Spend what ever time it takes” for them to be successful.

2) Encourage them to ask question in class and take complete notes of class lecture and demonstrations.

3) Require them to bring their books home every night , because I assign approximately 30 minutes of homework every night. ( One good tool to help a student if they get stuck on a home work problem is the ( http://www.glencoe.com/sec/math/algebra/algebra2/algebra2_05/ ) web site.

4) Require them to have a minimum “set” study time at the dining room or kitchen table where you can make sure that they are actually spending their study time wisely. (MONDAY THRU THURSDAY AND AT SOME TIME DURING THE WEEKEND.

5) Encourage them to spend extra time (above the 30 minutes of home work each night) in preparation for quizzes and tests. One good way to help them prepare for a quiz or test is to go to the web site created by the publishers of our book and take practice quizzes or tests online.

( http://www.glencoe.com/sec/math/algebra/algebra2/algebra2_05/ )

6) Encourage your student to take advantage of tutoring opportunities.

1) I tutor each Monday and Friday morning from 6:15 - 6:55 A. M.

CHAPTER 1

SECTION 1-1

ORDER OF OPERATIONS (PEMDAS)

1. PLEASE - (PARENTHESIS, BRACKETS, BRACES, DIVISION LINE, ABSOLUTE VALUE SYMBOLS, RADICALS, GREATEST INTEGER SYMBOLS)

2. EXCUSE- (EXPONENTS)

3. MY DEAR - (MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION ARE DONE AT THE SAME TIME FROM LEFT TO RIGHT)

4. AUNT SALLY (ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION AT THE SAME TIME FROM LEFT TO RIGHT)

SECTION 1-2/3

NATURAL NUMBERS = N = {1,2,3,4,....}

WHOLE NUMBERS = W = {0,1,2,3,4,....}

INTEGERS = Z = {...., - 4, - 3, - 2, - 1,0,1,2,3,4,....}

RATIONAL NUMBERS = Q = {NUMBERS THAT IN DECIMAL FORM EITHER REPEAT OR TERMINATE}

IRRATIONAL NUMBERS = I = { NUMBERS THAT IN DECIMAL FORM DO NOT REPEAT OR TERMINATE}

REAL NUMBERS = R = ANY NUMBER THAT IS RATIONAL OR IRRATIONAL

PROPERTIES OF REAL NUMBERS

1) COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY OF ADDITION a + b = b + a

2) COMMUTATIVE PROPERTY OF MULTIPLICATION a * b = b * a

3) ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY OF ADDITION ( a + b ) + c = a + ( b + c )

4) ASSOCIATIVE PROPERTY OF MULTIPLICATION ( a * b ) * c = a * ( b * c )

5) ADDITIVE IDENTITY a + 0 = a

6) MULTIPLICATIVE IDENTITY a * 1 = a

7) ADDITIVE INVERSE a + ( - a ) = 0

8) MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE a * ( 1 / a ) = 1

9) DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY a ( b + c ) = a * b + a * c and ( b + c ) a = b * a + c * a

10) REFLEXIVE PROPERTY OF EQUALITY a = a

11) SYMMETRIC PROPERTY OF EQUALITY if a = b then b = a

12) TRANSITIVE PROPERTY OF EQUALITY if a = b and b = c then a = c

13) MULTIPLICATIVE PROPERTY OF ZERO a * 0 = 0

14) ADDITION OR SUBTRACTION PROPERTY OF EQUALITY - YOU CAN ADD OR SUBTRACT THE SAME NUMBER TO BOTH SIDES OF AN EQUATION AND NOT CHANGE ITS’ EQUALITY

15) MULTIPLICATION OR DIVISION PROPERTY OF EQUALITY - YOU CAN MULTIPLY OR DIVIDE THE SAME NUMBER ON BOTH SIDES OF AN EQUATION AND NOT CHANGE ITS’ EQUALITY

16) SUBSTITUTION PROPERTY OF EQUALITY - WHEN YOU REPLACE A VALUE (OR AN EXPRESSION) IN AN EQUATION WITH A VALUE FOR WHICH IT IS EQUAL. (i. e. - for any numbers a and b, if a = b then a may be replaced by b any where in that equation.)

STEPS TO SOLVE AN EQUATION

1) SIMPLIFY BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUAL SIGN ( USING THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS )

2) ISOLATE THE CHOSEN VARIABLE ON ONE SIDE OF THE EQUAL SIGN ( USING ADDITION OR SUBTRACTION. )

3) GET THE CHOSEN VARIABLE BY ITSELF. (WITH NOTHING ADDED TO OR SUBTRACTED FROM IT)

4) AND GET THE COEFFICIENT OF THE CHOSEN VARIABLE TO EQUAL POSITIVE ONE. ( BY USING MULTIPLICATION OR DIVISION)

5) CHECK YOUR ANSWER BACK INTO THE ORIGINAL EQUATION TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS A TRUE STATEMENT

SECTION 1-4

ABSOLUTE VALUE | a | = a and | - a | = a (THE DEFINITION OF ABSOLUTE VALUE IS THE DISTANCE SOME NUMBER IS FROM ZERO) (THAT IS WHY THE ABSOLUTE VALUE OF A NUMBER CAN NEVER BE A NEGATIVE NUMBER BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS A DISTANCE AND DISTANCES ARE ALWAYS POSITIVE)

STEPS FOR SOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS

1) ISOLATE THE ABSOLUTE VALUE TERM

2) TAKE WHATEVER IS INSIDE THE ABSOLUTE VALUE SYMBOLS AND SET IT EQUAL TO WHATEVER IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EQUAL SIGN AND SOLVE FOR THE VARIABLE

3) THEN TAKE WHATEVER IS INSIDE THE ABSOLUTE VALUE SYMBOLS AND SET IT EQUAL TO THE OPPOSITE OF WHATEVER IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EQUAL SIGN AND SOLVE FOR THE VARIABLE

4) CHECK THESE TWO ANSWERS BACK INTO THE ORIGINAL ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATION TO SEE WHICH ONE OR ONES WORK (IF NEITHER VALUE WORKS BACK IN THE ORIGINAL EQUATION THEN THERE IS “NO SOLUTION” TO THE PROBLEM)

SECTION 1-5

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT INEQUALITIES - IF YOU MULTIPLY OR DIVIDE “BOTH SIDES” OF AN INEQUALITY BY A NEGATIVE NUMBER YOU HAVE TO REVERSE THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL

STEPS FOR SOLVING AN INEQUALITY

1) SIMPLIFY BOTH SIDES OF THE INEQUALITY SIGN ( USING THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS )

2) ISOLATE THE CHOSEN VARIABLE ON ONE SIDE OF THE INEQUALITY SIGN ( USING ADDITION OR SUBTRACTION. )

3) GET THE CHOSEN VARIABLE BY ITSELF. (WITH NOTHING ADDED TO OR SUBTRACTED FROM IT)

4) AND GET THE CHOSEN VARIABLES’ COEFFICIENT EQUAL TO POSITIVE ONE. ( BY USING MULTIPLICATION OR DIVISION) (REMEMBER THAT IF YOU MULTIPLY OR DIVIDE BOTH SIDES OF A INEQUALITY BY A NEGATIVE NUMBER YOU MUST FLIP THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL)

5) CHECK YOUR ANSWER BACK INTO THE ORIGINAL INEQUALITY TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS A TRUE STATEMENT

STEPS FOR GRAPHING INEQUALITIES ON A NUMBER LINE

1) AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETELY SOLVED THE INEQUALITY.

2) DRAW A NUMBER LINE AND LABEL IT WITH APPROPRIATE NUMBERS (MAKING SURE TO INCLUDE THE NUMBER YOU SOLVED FOR IN STEP 1)

3) IF THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL IN YOUR ANSWER IS A “GREATER THAN OR EQUAL” OR A “LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO” SYMBOL DRAW A “CLOSED IN” CIRCLE ABOVE THE NUMBER SOLVED FOR IN STEP 1 AND SKIP TO STEP 5. (IF NOT GO TO STEP 4.)

4) IF THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL IN YOUR ANSWER IS A “STRICTLY GREATER THAN” OR A “STRICTLY LESS THAN” SYMBOL DRAW AN “OPEN” CIRCLE ABOVE THE NUMBER SOLVED FOR IN STEP 1

5) IF THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL IN YOUR ANSWER IS A “GREATER THAN OR EQUAL” OR A “STRICTLY GREATER THAN” SYMBOL DRAW A RAY WITH A STARTING POINT AT YOUR CIRCLE POINTING TO THE RIGHT. IF NOT SKIP TO STEP 6.

6) IF THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL IN YOUR ANSWER IS A “LESS THAN OR EQUAL” OR A “STRICTLY LESS THAN” SYMBOL DRAW A RAY WITH A STARTING POINT AT YOUR CIRCLE POINTING TO THE LEFT.

SECTION 1-6

STEPS FOR SOLVING ABSOLUTE VALUE INEQUALITIES ON A NUMBER LINE

1) ISOLATE THE ABSOLUTE VALUE TERM (MEANING TO GET THIS TERM ON ONE SIDE OF THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL BY ITSELF WITH ITS’ COEFFICIENT EQUAL TO ONE)

2) NOW WE MUST LOOK AT THE POSITIVE POSSIBILITY 1. WRITE WHATEVER IS INSIDE THE ABSOLUTE VALUE SYMBOLS USING THE SAME INEQUALITY SYMBOL AND WHATEVER IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL 2. SOLVE FOR THE VARIABLE

3) NOW WE MUST LOOK AT THE NEGATIVE POSSIBILITY 1. WRITE WHATEVER IS INSIDE THE ABSOLUTE VALUE SYMBOLS USING THE OPPOSITE INEQUALITY SYMBOL AND THE OPPOSITE OF WHATEVER IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL 2. SOLVE FOR THE VARIABLE

4) TO SEE THE SOLUTION IN GRAPH FORM GRAPH BOTH OF YOUR SOLUTIONS ON THE NUMBER LINE

SECTION 2-1

QUADRANT SIGNS OF COORDINATES

I ( + , + )

II ( - , + )

III ( - , - )

IV ( + , - )

THE “DOMAIN” OF A RELATION IS THE SET OF ALL “X” VALUES THAT SATISFY THAT RELATION

THE “RANGE” OF A RELATION IS THE SET OF ALL “Y” VALUES THAT SATISFY THAT RELATION

A RELATION IS A FUNCTION IF AND ONLY IF EACH ELEMENT OF THE DOMAIN OF THAT RELATION GOES TO ONE AND ONLY ONE ELEMENT OF THE RANGE OF THAT RELATION

FUNCTIONAL NOTATION -THE EQUATION y = 3x + 2 CAN BE WRITTEN I N FUNCTIONAL NOTATION AS f (x) = 3x + 2

TO FINDING THE SOLUTION FOR A FUNCTION AT A GIVEN DOMAIN VALUE SUBSTITUTE THAT VALUE INTO THE FUNCTION WHERE EVER THERE IN AN “ x ” EXAMPLE IF f (x) = 4 x + 5 THEN f (6) = 4 (6) + 5 OR f (6) = 24 + 5 f (6) = 29

SECTION 2-2

LINEAR EQUATIONS IN STANDARD FORM ARE ALWAYS IN THE FORM OF A x + B y = C

1. WHERE

1. “A” ,”B”, AND “C” ARE INTEGERS AND

2. “A” IS POSITIVE

3. THE GREATEST COMMON FACTOR OF “A” ,”B”, AND “C” IS 1

4. “x” AND “y” ARE BOTH RAISED TO THE POSITIVE ONE POWER).

2. THE ONLY EXCEPTIONS TO THIS ARE OUR TWO TYPES OF SPECIAL LINES:

1. VERTICAL LINES ARE ALWAYS IN THE FORM OF x = SOME NUMBER ( EXAMPLE; x = -2 )

2. HORIZONTAL LINES ARE ALWAYS IN THE FORM OF y = SOME NUMBER ( EXAMPLE; y = 4 )

TO FIND THE SLOPE OF A LINE IF GIVEN THE LINE IN STANDARD LINEAR FORM USE THE FORMULA SLOPE = m = ( - A ) / B

THE “ x “ - INTERCEPT IS THE POINT AT WHICH THE LINE INTERSECTS THE “ X ” AXIS AND IF THE EQUATIONS IS IN STANDARD FORM THE “ X ” INTERCEPT IS EQUAL TO C / A

THE “ y “ - INTERCEPT IS THE POINT AT WHICH THE LINE INTERSECTS THE “Y” AXIS AND IF THE EQUATIONS IS IN STANDARD LINEAR FORM THE “Y” INTERCEPT IS EQUAL TO C / B

SECTION 2-3

THE SLOPE OF A LINE IF GIVEN TWO POINTS ON THE LINE IS THE RELATION OF THE LINES’ RISE OVER ITS’ RUN AND CAN BE FOUND GIVEN TWO POINTS USING THE FORMULA SLOPE = m = ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )

PERPENDICULAR LINES ARE LINES WHOSE SLOPES ARE NEGATIVE RECIPROCALS OF ONE ANOTHER

PARALLEL LINES ARE LINES WHOSE SLOPES ARE THE EQUAL TO ONE ANOTHER.

SECTION 2-4

LINEAR EQUATIONS IN SLOPE-INTERCEPT FORM ARE ALWAYS IN THE FORM OF y = m x + b WHERE “ m ” IS THE SLOPE AND “ b ” IS THE “ y “ - INTERCEPT

LINEAR EQUATIONS IN “POINT-SLOPE” FORM ARE ALWAYS IN THE FORM OF ( y - y1 ) = m ( x - x1 ) WHERE “ m ” IS THE SLOPE AND “ x1 ” IS THE “ X “ VALUE IN THE GIVEN ORDERED PAIR AND “ y1” IS THE “ Y “ VALUE IN THE GIVEN ORDERED

LINEAR EQUATIONS IN FUNCTIONAL NOTATION FORM ARE ALWAYS IN THE FORM OF f ( x ) = m x + b WHERE “ m ” IS THE SLOPE AND “ b ” IS THE “ y “ - INTERCEPT

SECTION 2-6

CONSTANT FUNCTION - A LINEAR EQUATION OF THE FORM f ( x ) = some # FOR WHICH THE SLOPE IS ZERO. ALL CONSTANT FUNCTIONS FORM HORIZONTAL LINES. THEY ARE ALWAYS IN THE FORM OF f ( x ) =SOME NUMBER( EXAMPLE; f ( x ) = 4 )

DIRECT VARIATION FUNCTION - A LINEAR EQUATION OF THE FORM f ( x ) = m x + b

IDENTITY FUNCTION - A LINEAR EQUATION OF THE FORM f ( x ) = m x + b WHERE b = 0 THE GRAPH OF AN IDENTITY FUNCTION WILL ALWAYS PASS THROUGH THE ORIGIN

ABSOLUTE VALUE FUNCTION - AN EQUATION OF THE FORM f ( x ) = a | m x + b | (+/-) c WHERE ” a “ , “ b “AND “ c “ EQUAL ZERO. ABSOLUTE VALUE FUNCTIONS WILL ALWAYS GRAPH AS A “VEE” SHAPE

STEPS GRAPHING ABSOLUTE VALUE FUNCTIONS

1. MAKE A TABLE USING AT LEAST THE FOLLOWING DOMAIN { -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 } VALUES

2. SOLVE FOR EACH OF THE CORRESPONDING RANGE VALUES FOR THESE DOMAIN VALUES

3. PLOT THESE POINTS ON THE COORDINATE PLANE

4. IF THE GRAPH DOES NOT FORM A “VEE” SHAPE CHOOSE ADDITIONAL DOMAIN VALUES BOTH LESS

5. THAN -2 AND GREATER THAN 2 UNTIL THE POINTS BEGIN TO FORM THE “VEE” SHAPE

GREATEST INTEGER FUNCTION - A TYPE OF STEP FUNCTION DESCRIBED BY f ( x ) = [ x ] WHERE THE VALUE OF f ( x ) IS EQUAL TO THE GREATEST INTEGER THAT IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO “ x ” FOR EXAMPLE IF f ( x ) = [ 6.2 ] THEN f ( x ) = 6

STEPS FOR GRAPHING GREATEST INTEGER FUNCTIONS

1. MAKE A TABLE USING AT LEAST THE FOLLOWING DOMAIN { 0, .1, .2, .3, .4, .5, .6, .7, .8, .9, 1 } VALUES

2. SOLVE FOR EACH OF THE CORRESPONDING RANGE VALUES FOR THESE DOMAIN VALUES

3. PLOT THESE POINTS ON THE COORDINATE PLANE.

4. USE THE PATTERN FORMED TO GENERALIZE THE STEP GRAPH FOR ALL OTHER NUMBERS.

SECTION 2-7

STEPS FOR GRAPHING LINEAR INEQUALITIES

1) CHECK TO SEE IF THE INEQUALITY IS WRITTEN IN SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM. ( IF NOT REWRITE THE INEQUALITY INTO THIS FORM. )

2) PLOT THE “ Y “ INTERCEPT ON YOUR COORDINATE PLANE

3) USE THE SLOPE TO LOCATE AND PLOT ANOTHER POINT ON THE LINE

4) IF THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL IS STRICTLY LESS THAN “ < “ OR STRICTLY GREATER THAN “ > ” THEN CONNECT THESE TWO PLOTTED POINTS WITH A DOTTED LINE. IF THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO “ ≤ “ OR GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO “ ≥ ” THEN CONNECT THESE TWO PLOTTED POINTS WITH A SOLID LINE

5) IF THE INEQUALITY SYMBOL IS STRICTLY LESS THAN “ < “ OR IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO
“ ≤ “ SHADE THE AREA UNDER THE LINE. IF THE INEQUALITY IS STRICTLY GREATER THAN “ > ” OR GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO “ ≥ ” SHADE THE AREA ABOVE THE LINE

SECTION 3-1

PARALLEL LINES - IF THE SLOPES OF TWO LINES ARE EQUAL BUT THE “ y “ - INTERCEPTS OF THE TWO LINES ARE DIFFERENT THEN THE L
