SP # 5 Unit J Concept 6 Partial Decomposition with Repeated factors

With this type of problem one must be careful with the order in which one places their numbers. One must also be aware of the little signs, negative and positives when multiplying the denominator in order to have a common denominator.

SP # 4 Unit J Concept 5 Partial Decomposition with distinct factors




This type of problem is a bit tricky but just remember to keep your numbers in order. You start off with decomposition of the problem. After you have done this you move on go the combining of like terms and finally finding the rref on the calculator.

SP # 3 Unit I Concept 1 Graphing Exponential Functions and Identifying x-int, y-int, asymptotes, domain and range


This type of problem is an exponential graph. In this type of problem one has to walk through various steps before one can ultimately graph the equation. First one must find the numbers that match up to the variables A, B, etc. Then one must remember the chant Y-int equals and X-int equals. Remember to set the y is equal to zero and the x as well.

After this is done one needs to plug in the equation into the graphing calculator and examine the curve of the graph. In the case of this specific problem since the a is negative the graph will curve downwards. Trace different points to graph and then finally graph your exponential equation.

SP # 2 Unit E Concept 7: Graphing a polynomial and identifying all key parts

In this problem you will see a Polynomial end behavior graph and multiplicities. This concept brings together everything from concept six forward. Pay special attention to your degree and coefficient. Another thing to look out for is making sure that your multiplicities are correct.

 You will be given an equation, make sure pay attention to the degree, this will state how many zeroes you will have to have at the end, and make sure that when writing your end behavior it corresponds to correct type of grpah that you have drawn out; even positive, even negative, etc.

SP #1: Unit E Concept 1 -Graphing Quadratics and identifying all keys parts

This problem is about identifying x-intercepts, y-intercepts, vertex, axis of quadratics and finally graphing them; in simple terms quadratics in simple form. This type problem is a build up of previous equations we have solved, most notably completing the square.

When solving this type of problem one should pay extra special attention to all of the steps that follow the Parent Graph Equation, Vertex, Y-Intercept, etc. Make sure everything is correct in these areas, one little mistake can throw off your parabola. Another thing that one should take note of is the Axis, the axis is a dotted line going down the graph not A POINT!!!!
