Hello May! Concepts for May 2nd

Algebra I

Today we discussed
Today we talked about the Pythagorean theorem and the relationships between the legs of a right triangle and its hypotenuse.  In addition, we worked on simplifying radical expressions using the product and quotient properties of square roots.

Sections Covered in Textbook
1) 12-5: The Pythagorean Theorem (pages 482-486)
2) 12-5: Simplifying Square Roots - Part 1 (pages 492-495)

Algebra I

Today we discussed
Rational expressions just added another step.  Recalling that whenever we add any types of fractions, rational expressions included, we must have a common denominator.  We'll use our knowledge of factoring and GCF to build common denominators so we can combine these rational numbers.

Sections Covered in Textbook
1) 8-7: Rationals Expressions with Unlike Denominators (pages 329-333)

Video Tutorials
1)  Adding and Subtracting Rational Expressions with Different Denominators
