Topic:
Factoring - GCF and
Grouping Read: Lesson Notes #7.1 (Note: Lesson note numbers are generic and do not correspond to the textbook section numbers. The material contained in the lesson notes do correspond, but the numbers may not.) Information about Graphing & Graphers: Where can I find a free scientific calculator for my computer? Where can I find a free online grapher or graphing software for my computer? You are expected to already know how to electronically graph a function and find it's x-intercept point(s) as well as graph two linear functions and find their intersection point. For a graphing calculator refresher see Calculator Guide - Basic Arithmetic and Calculator Guide - Introduction to Graphing. TI-84 users will find Prof. Milner's TI-84 Calculator Tutorial Videos useful. |
