HW: #29 page 286 #33-53 (o), 107-117 (o)
Reminder: Benchmarks 8.2 and 8.3 on Monday and make-up Ch. 5-1 Test by Thursday, 11/17

In class today we (right away) took notes on 5.5 "Completing the square" so far i think its really easy its just something like x2+14+49 = )x+7)2 or for another example x2-9x+____=(x___)2
devide 9 by 2 squared =81/4 and x-9/2. but then it got more complex.

I really understood this. I hope I get it down well enough for the benchmarks on this. I went ahead in class yesturday when you were going it over with everyone. :) I did it right too! I'll practice a lot more so I really can pass these next benchmarks [in addition to the ones I didn't pass yet]. Have a nice evening Mr. Fjelstrom! :)

This section on completing the square is pretty easy, I like how it is solved step by step and you just plug in all of your answers to get the final solution. I am soo happy to finally get away from factoring!

i didnt get this during class but then i came home to do my homework and i went to and it was a very big help now i compleatly under stand.
