Starting to look at Polynomials

We are beginning Chapter 2, Polynomials.  Before our test I reminded you about the notation and terminology.  Below is the proposed syllabus leading up to our next quiz/test.

9/28  2.1 Intro  HW (due 10/2) pp.169-170/1-27 odd

10/2  2.3 Modeling  and Word Problems
               CW/HW pp.169-174/33, 35, 37, 49, 51, 54, 55, 57, 67-71

                                plus p.76/45  and Brown pp.42-43/38, 44

10/4  2.3 cont.  Higher Degree Polynomials  
               CW  Extra Problems worksheet
               HW pp.196-198/3-30 by 3's, 38, 41, 45, 46, 51, 54, 60, 65, 73

10/5  2.4  Zeros of Polynomial Functions
               HW Demana: pp.208-212/3-36 by 3's, 49-55 odd, 74
                      Brown: p.61/9-21 odd, 16, 25
Hint: For Demana #74 -> Remember: you have two books to reference.
          For Brown #25 -> "use factor theorem" does not mean divide.

We will be having a quiz or test on 2.1-2.4 (but not 2.2) after this but the exact date has not yet been determined.  Next week sometime is likely.
