7.5 Graphing Linear Inequalities

Pre Test for Unit #6 Test over Chapter 7

There will be a test over Unit #6 which covers material from Chapter 7 in our text. The test will be on FRIDAY DECEMBER 14.  The main topic covered is solving systems of equations with one section on linear inequalities. A great way to review would be to complete the Chapter 7 Pre Test which can be found at this link:

7.2 Solving Linear Systems by Substitution

Here is a PowerPoint that also contains another example: http://www.slideshare.net/chrystal_brinson/solving-systems-substitution

7.1 Solving Systems of Equations by Graphing

Here is another teaching video for 7.1  

7.1 Solving a System of Equations by Graphing

To solve a system of equation by graphing:
-Graph both equation on the same coordinate plane.
             -  If the equations are not in y=mx+b form then they need to be put in that form
-The point where they intersect is the solution.
-Remember you have the option of checking your answers by substituting (x,y) back in.

5.6 Intro to Parallel and Perpendicular Lines

Parallel Lines:  SAME SLOPE,  different y intercepts
Perpendicular Lines:  SLOPES ARE OPPOSITE RECIPROCALS, any y intercepts

Opposite reciprocal -  change the sign and flip the number

Here is an additional video containing more examples that are similar to the HW:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IexRuq0DOgI

Pre Test for the UNIT #5 TEST on Friday December 1

The UNIT #5 Test over Ch. 1.4-1.6 and 5.1-5.6 will be taken on Friday December 1st.  Students should prepare for this test by completing the pre test that is available via the link below.  A solution key is also attached as the last page of the document.  If you run into any material on the pre test that you need help with, please keep in mind we are available for extra help before or after school.

5.5 Standard Form To Slope-Intercept Form.mov

To put an equation into slope intercept form:
Keep in mind your goal is to isolate the variable y.
1.  move your x term over by adding or subtracting it
2.  divide to isolate the variable y

5.4 Practice with graphing in slope intercept form

Here is a great practice site for graphing in slope intercept form.

5.4 How to Write Linear Equations Given Two Points eHow com

to write an equation when given 2 points:

Step #1  Find the slope by using the formula   y2 - y1 /  x2 - x1
Step #2   Find your y int by plugging in a point and your slope to y = mx + b.  then solve that equation for b.  

5.4 Finding the x and y Intercepts

PRE QUIZ for 1.4-1.6 and 5.1-5.3

There will be a quiz over 1.4-1.6 and 5.1-5.3 on Friday November 16th.    Here is a pre quiz that covers the concepts that will be on the quiz.   An answer key is also attached so that you may check your answers.   Please keep in mind we are available for extra help before or after school if extra help is needed over the material.

1.5 Graphing Linear Equations Using a Table

1.4 Graphing Ordered Pairs

Compound Inequalities - Special Cases

Here is a quick reteaching video that may clear up some questions on the SPECIAL CASE problems such as NO SOLUTION  and ALL REAL NUMBERS. 

Remember that it is possible that OR compound inequalities or GREATOR absolute value inequalities may produce a solution of ALL REAL NUMBERS.

Remember that it is possible that AND compound inequalities of Less ThAND absolute value inequalities may produce a solution of NO SOLUTION. 

UNIT #4 TEST --- OVER CHAPTER 6

There will be a test over Unit #4 which covers material from Chapter 6 in our text.   The main topic covered is inequalities with one section on absolute value inequalities.  A great way to review would be to complete the Chapter 6 Pre Test which can be found at this link:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzJ2Jy-k3iPON3lwd0JNd0V2Q1k


Mr Simpson and Mr Spilker will also be available for extra help before or after school if needed to prepare.   The only exception to this is Wednesday morning because of teacher meetings.  

6.5 Solve and Graph Absolute Value inequalities

Great video that reteaches lesson 6.5   

REMEMBER:   greatOR   and less thAND

Here are some additional notes that also may be helpful:  https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzJ2Jy-k3iPONEgtTmljWHJ4S00

6.5 Part #1 Solving Absolute Value Equations

Remember to set up two equations to find your TWO solutions to an absolute value equation. 

6.3 Solving and Graphing Compound Inequalities

TIPS for working with compound inequalities:
-Solve the two inequalities that make up the compound inequality seperately, then graph their two solutions together. 

-The AND type grpah will look like a dumbbell
-The OR type graph will look like OARS on a boat

Here is a link to an additional video if you would like examples similar to the HW questions:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBPp5OTWMjc

6.2 Solving MultiStep Inequalities

Whenever you solve inequalities be on the lookout for this rule:
When you multiply or divide BOTH sides of an inequality by a negative number you must flip the inequality symbol. 

ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT INEQUALITIES ARE SOLVED JUST LIKE EQUATIONS.  YOU HAVE THE SAME GOAL OF ISOLATING THE VARIABLE. 

Chapter 6 Section 1 Solving 1 step Inequalities

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

You solve an inequality just like you solve an equation. 

When graphing with a < or > sign you will always have an open circle because that point is not a solution.  An inequality sign that contains an = will always have a closed circle. 

If your variable is on the left side of your inequality symbol then you can simply shade the direction the arrow points. 

Additional review for mid term assessment

Here is an additional review for the Algebra 1 midterm assessment.  Answers are attached at the end of the document.  The midterm will be taken in 2 parts.  Part 1 will be a short answer part and will be taken on Tuesday.  Thursday's section will be multiple choice.
