1. Algebra II Honors—Day 5

2. Goals for Today
Pick up the half-sheet of blank paper at the front of the room—for your warmup problems
Check Homework
Show me your homework to get a homework stamp
Go over questions from homework
Essential Questions
New material
Examples/Homework Assignment—Handout

3. Warmup problems—work on the half-sheet of paper to turn in
Write this equation in standard form.
Write this equation in slope-intercept form.
Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept for this equation.

4. Homework Questions?

5. Essential Questions
How do I solve an equation for a given variable? (These are called “literal equations.”)
How do I solve inequalities?

6. Notes
Solving literal equations means getting the variable of interest all by itself. You simply “undo” all of the operations to get the variable alone.
Example: Solve the following equation for b1
HOW???

7. Literal Equations
You have to get the b1 by itself. That means we need to move the ½, the h, and the b2 to the other side. Undo each operation.

8. Practice
Solve each equation below for g:

9. Solving Inequalities
This is like solving an equation with the following exceptions:
You have one of the following operators instead of “equals” ≤, ≥, <, OR >
When you multiply or divide to solve an inequality, you have to flip the sign of the inequality: e.g.
