1. MATH 3 ORIENTATION School Year 2009-2010

2. 3. ? What do these two have in common? 4. Both can be mastered with 5. But what is MATH 3??? 6. Math 3is a continuation of first year algebra and starts with areview of the basic algebraic concepts and operations . Then it progresses to a functional approach onlinear, quadratic, polynomial, and rational equationswith emphasis ongraphs and solution to systems . Finally it concludes with a discussion oninequalities . 7. FIRST QUARTER! * Quadratic Equations * Complex Numbers * Rational Equations * Functions 8. Remember factoring? 2x 2 -x-10 ->(x+2)(2x-5) InQuadratic Equations,we add an =0 and solve for x! 2x 2 -x-10= 0 9. SECOND QUARTER! * Lines * Lines and * More Lines! 10. THIRD QUARTER! * Systems of Equations * Matrices 11. A Matrix is an array of numbers! 12. FOURTH QUARTER! * Quadratic Functions * Graphs of Parabolas * Polynomial Inequalities 13.
