Homework and announcements
Here are the homework assignments for Algebra 2. Most of them refer to handout packets; copies of these handouts are available to you by logging into the FirstClass system.
Assignments will generally be added to this page daily, but if an assignment is given in class but doesn't get posted here for whatever reason, you're still responsible for it.
Hw due Wed. 12/1 (E) or Thu. 12/2 (F)
Finish the problem set "Exponents and logs: no-calculator review (Day 2)."
Coming up on Friday 12/3: Test on exponents and logs (no-calculator).
HW due Tue. 11/30 (E) or Wed. 12/1 (F)
Finish the problem set "Exponents and logs: no-calculator review (Day 1)."
Class Tue. 11/23 (E) or 11/24 (F)
In class Tue. 11/23 (E block) or Wed. 11/24 (F block) we completed the problem set "Exponent properties with fraction exponents."
There's no homework over the vacation. Happy Thanksgiving!
HW due Tue. 11/21 (E) or Wed. 11/22 (F)
Finish the problem set "Fraction exponents."
Note: There were different versions of this assignment for E block versus F block. If you were absent so you are downloading a copy from FirstClass, make sure you get the right version for your class (E vs. F in the filename).
HW due Mon. 11/20
Finish the problem set "
nth roots and 1/
n exponents."
Note: There were different versions of this assignment for E block versus F block. If you were absent so you are downloading a copy from FirstClass, make sure you get the right version for your class (E vs. F in the filename).
no HW due Fri. 11/19 for E block
For E block class, which just had a test, there's no homework due Friday.
Test Wed. 11/17 (E) or Fri. 11/19 (F)
Test on exponents, logarithms, and exponential functions. At the previous class, we worked on review problems. Your homework is to finish the review problems, check their answers, and study for the test.
HW due Tue. 11/16 (E) or Thu. 11/18 (F)
Finish the problem set "More graphs and applications."
Upcoming: Test Wed. 11/17 (E) or Fri. 11/19 (F) on exponential functions, exponents, and logarithms. The day before the test will be a review day.
HW due Mon. 11/15 (E) or Wed. 11/17 (F)
Finish the problem set "Simplifying, evaluating, and rewriting."
HW due Fri. 11/12 (E) or Mon. 11/15 (F)
Finish the problem set "More exponent and logarithm practice."
Test upcoming (date tentative): Wed. 11/17 for E block, Fri. 11/19 for F block.
HW due Wed. 11/10 (E) or Fri. 11/12 (F)
Finish the problem set "More equation solving with exponents and logs."
HW due Tue. 11/9 (E) or Wed. 11/10 (F)
Finish the problem set "Solving exponential equations using logarithms."
No HW due Mon. 11/8
There's no new assignment, but make sure you've finished the packet "Exponents and exponential functions — focused practice" from 11/1, which we will check at the start of class on 11/8.
Cumulative test Fri. 11/5
On Fri. 11/5 we will have a course-wide cumulative test on the material we covered from the start of the course up to 10/25 (in other words, the units on functions and linear functions, but not the newest material on exponential functions).
We will spend two classes (11/2-11/3 for E block, 11/3-11/4 for F block) working on a set of review problems preparing for the test. Your homework for this period is to continue working through these review problems. Make sure you've finished all the review problems and checked your answers before Friday's test.
HW due Tue. 11/2
Finish the problem set "Exponents and exponential functions — focused practice."
