Notes about adding and subtracting polynomials (3A) can be found here.

Answers to the homework can be found here.

*EDIT 2/21: There are two errors in the homework answers - sorry!
#5: should be "+3x" as the final term, not "-3x"
#7: wasn't written in standard form, yikes! The -11x^7 should be the first term.

Students will have a graded learning check on Wednesday 2/20 (A) or Thursday 2/21 (B).

DIY Radicals Packet - Answers

Answers to the packet given in class can be found HERE.

The packet should come back completed on Monday (B) or Tuesday (A). We are going to be moving forward to level 3 skills, so your understanding of the level 2's (packet) is crucial.

Level 2's = simplifying radicals // adding & subtracting radicals // multiplying radicals
Level 3's = simplifying AND adding // multiplying AND simplifying // etc.

You can see why it's important to have this done AND have a strong understanding! Have a great weekend.
