Day 3 Lecture--polynomial functions

Here is the link for the handout on polynomial function and the powerpoint we used in class. It appears that the copy is a bit off when I converted it into a google doc, just disregard the parts that look like gibberish.  I will try to fix that.

I still need to finish up the section so we can graph the polynomial functions.

I will do that on Thurs and then we'll start the new material.

Hope everything is going okay for all of you.
You are on my mind often and I hope that I'm able to reach you even though class time goes so fast.

Let me know if you need anything.

New Videos for 4.2

Hey class,
I've posted some new videos about stuff that's going to be covered in 4.2. If you're feeling swamped by information, these videos are a great way to get caught up, and they supplement the reading really well. We're giving A LOT of resources to help you succeed. Normally, in a college class, the professor lectures, gives you a syllabus and some office hours, and you're on your own. You should utilize these resources.

Help Session tomorrow--BE THERE!

Hey everyone,
If you felt at all nervous about factoring, completing the square, transformations, quadratics or if you want to start studying for the test that's opening next week, come to the help session.

173 TMCB, from 10 am - 1 pm tomorrow
Friday, Jan 7th

If you can only show up for part of the time, that's just fine. 

Be sure to print a practice test from the department website here:

https://math.byu.edu/~wright/Math%20110/ExamsWinter2010/110Exam1W10.pdf
https://math.byu.edu/~wright/Math%20110/Exams/ExamsFall2010/Test%201%20F10.pdf

These practice tests are the tests that were given for Test 1 over the last 3 semesters.
