Spring Semester Learning Goals

Solve Quadratic Equations	Functions	Exponential Functions
by factoring factor vs soln by taking sqr root, +/- QF choose best method discriminant conjugates choose best method (radical equations) graphing calculator	Function notation function notation with graphs evaluate from eqn evaluate from graph given input/output parent functions: parab, cubic, sqr root, abs val graph: parent function ref sheet translations parent functions reflections parent functions piecewise functions	exponent rules, neg, zero exp simplify exp expressions mult, divide exp expressions fraction exp exp to radical, radical to exp evaluate fraction exp simplify complicated exp expressions solve by powers of the same base graph exp functions, growth, decay graph transformations of exp functions solve exp eqns with desmos applications-half-life, annual interest, bacteria growth
