Great job this week, everyone!

Here is this week's extra credit, with a twist:

Write two example equations, one that represents a quadratic function and one that represents a cubic function (be sure to tell which is which). Post your equations to The Honors Community as either text, a picture, or a video. Be creative! Impress us!

Here's the catch: your examples must be different from the ones posted by other students. No repeats.

Thursday 10/1

Today we learned how to find the rate of change from a table with Lesson 3.2. We learned both an informal method (arrows) and a formal method (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Be sure to practice the formal method on your homework tonight, as it's a more powerful way to determine a correct answer without error!

Wednesday HW Solutions: Student Assignments 3.1 answer key

Wednesday 9/30

We finished Lesson 3.1 in class today. All students should now be experts in determining the rate of change and unit rate from a graph. Please remember to use the solutions linked above to check and correct your classwork and homework.

Be sure you understand and can use the key terms from this lesson:

• rate
• rate of change
• per
• unit rate
• rise
• run
