Note from the author:
A complete formative lesson with embedded slideshow, mini lecture screencasts, checks for understanding, practice items, mixed review, and reflection. I create these assignments to supplement each lesson of Pearson's Common Core Edition Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry courses. See also mathquest.net and twitter.com/mathquestEDU.

Solve It! How can you use pieces like these to form a square with side length x + 3 (and no overlapping pieces)? Show a sketch of your solution on the canvas. Use bright contrasting colors.
You may also create a copy of this Google Drawing and use it for your model. If you do, upload a screenshot to the canvas.

Error Analysis: Your friend completed the square and wrote the expression shown. Explain your friend's error and write the expression correctly.
Hint: Was it necessary to add 49 to achieve a perfect square trinomial?

You may use ^ to represent exponents. i.e. x^2 represents x².

Question 21

Review Lesson 4-5: Identify the factors, and solution(s) of the quadratic equation.

  • no solution
  • already in factored form
  • (2x - 1)
  • x = 1
  • (x - 1)
  • x = -3
  • (x + 3)
  • x = ½
  • Factors
  • Solution(s)
Question 22

Review Lesson 4-3: Graph the points using a table then find a quadratic regression model for the data. Click on the vertex of the parabola to show its coordinates. Leave the vertex coordinates showing. Zoom and pan your graph to establish an appropriate viewing window.

Recall Desmos' quadratic regression notation: y1~ax1^2+bx1+c.

We have released a new and improved Graphing question type! Students will no longer be able to answer this question.

Review Lesson 1-3: Evaluate the expression for the given values of the variables.
Enter only a number.

Question 25

Vocabulary Review: Match each expression with its square root.

  • 25x²
  • x² + 4x + 4
  • 36x² + 36x + 9
  • 4x² -20xy + 25y²
  • x + 2
  • 6x - 3
  • 2x - 5y
  • ±5x
Question 26
26.

Use Your Vocabulary: Identify the number of terms in each expression. Tag each espression as monomial, binomial, or trinomial.

  • 0 terms
  • 1 term
  • 2 terms
  • 3 terms
  • 4 terms
  • monomial
  • binomial
  • trinomial
  • x + 1
  • t² - 2t - 6
  • y³
Question 27
27.

Use Your Vocabulary: Classify each expression based on whether or not it is a perfect square trinomial.

  • x² + 2x + 1
  • g³ + g - 4
  • x² + 2x + 5
  • x² - 4x
  • Perfect square trinomial
  • NOT a perfect square trinomial
