9. Hints for Success in this Class
Goal: To understand the expectations you will be held to in Mrs. Linse’s class, as well as review factoring & solving quadratic equations.
Hints for Success in this Class
Pay attention in class, take notes, and use your notes to help you with homework.
When absent, it is the responsibility of each student to obtain work missed (that includes notes taken)
Ask for help when you don’t understand. Mrs. Linse is available before school after 7:05 and some days after school until 3:00. KR also offers math learning lab after school

10. Hints for Success in this Class
Goal: To understand the expectations you will be held to in Mrs. Linse’s class, as well as review factoring & solving quadratic equations.
Hints for Success in this Class
Join a study group or find a study partner. Talking out a problem is very helpful in understanding!
Check Skyward for your progress. Homework assignments will be labeled according to the section in the book. To find specific problems check the assignment details on Skyward.

11. Solve each equation by Factoring
Goal: To understand the expectations you will be held to in Mrs. Linse’s class, as well as review factoring & solving quadratic equations.
Solve each equation by Factoring
Steps for Factoring:
Get the equation = 0
GCF when possible
Factor using your favorite method
Make sure you check to make sure you factored correctly.
Set each factor = 0 and solve for 𝑥
3 𝑥 2 −𝑥=10
2 𝑥 2 +13𝑥−7=0

12. Goal: To understand the expectations you will be held to in Mrs
Goal: To understand the expectations you will be held to in Mrs. Linse’s class, as well as review factoring & solving quadratic equations.
Solve each equation by taking the square root of both sides. Give exact & Approximate Solutions.
Steps for solving using the square root
Get whatever piece is squared by itself
Take the square root of both sides
Don’t forget that any time you square root you get 2 solutions: ±
Finish solving if necessary
−3 𝑥 2 =−9
2 𝑥+4 2 =6

13. Try These on your own… Give exact and approximate solutions.
Goal: To understand the expectations you will be held to in Mrs. Linse’s class, as well as review factoring & solving quadratic equations.
Try These on your own…
Solve by factoring:
7x² – 13x – 2 = x2 + 10x + 25 = 0
Solve by taking the square root.
Give exact and approximate solutions.
7. (x – 2)2 – 12 = x2 – 25 = 0
