Today we finished the examples from 2.9 The Factor Theorem.
We learned how to solve cubic equations with the calculator.
We looked at 2.10 Graphs of Cubic Functions and learned how to work out the function from the graph.

HW: Need to give some time over the mid-term revision chapter 2 in preparation for test on the week we return.

Today we decided that we would have a Mid-term test on everything that we have covered so far (ie Chapter 1 and Chapter 2) on the Monday after the holidays.

In class we looked at 2.9 the Factor theorem and used it to factorise cubic equations. The notes and videos of the examples are uploaded here. 

HW: Between now and Friday do as many questions as you can from Ex. 2.9 (all if possible!)

Started 2.8 Surd Equations.

After trying the Maths Week Puzzle we continued with 2.7 Surds
