Unit 3: Simplifying and Solving
In this unit, you will learn and perfect a lot of different skills that will help you to be successful in all of the upcoming units. While it may seem a bit disjointed at times, all of these skills will come together in the end to be applied to the work we will do through the end of the year. You will learn and apply the Laws of Exponents. You will focus on multiplying expressions. You will simplify algebraic expressions and solve equations with multiple variables, with roots, with products and absolute value.
Below are links to any notes from class that I post, extra homework assignments, useful videos and extra resources to help you get the most out of this unit.

Unit Resources
Notes, Required Videos and Homework
Below are all the resources and materials needed for the homework assigned that day. You can preview the material that will be taught on that day by watching the listed videos, but please do not begin the homework until I have assigned it in class, on the day you see me. Sometimes I switch things up, or we move faster or slower than anticipated, and the assignment might change.
All of the videos listed each day are REQUIRED. Think of it as a flipped classroom with your own private teacher you can pause or rewind and go at your own personal speed. It is expected that when there is an example in the video, that you pause it, write the problem in your notes, try to work it out and then play the solution. If you made a mistake, improve your work. Take notes as needed. Videos are meant to extend and deepen your understanding.

Day 8
Day 8 Developing Assignment: Graph and describe the exponential function: f(x) = 10^x (that's 10 to the power of x! x is the exponent!) Your table should have 2 positive, 2 negative, 1 fractional and 1 decimal value for x (the exponent). Don't forget to also include 0!
After you graph it (don't forget to label graph!), fully describe graph. Include whether it is a function, and the domain and range.
