Analytic Geometry week of 2/23/15

This week, we'll be diving into the world of imaginary numbers, the subject matter of Unit 4 - Extending the Number System.  It's all about what happens when you try to take the square root of a negative number (your calculator won't even give you an answer if you try to use it)!  We'll also be examining the different ways to represent radicals - you don't have to use just the radical symbol!  The schedule for the week should look like this:

Mon 2/23 - Refresher on simplifying square roots & intro to imaginary numbers

Tues 2/24 - Imaginary and complex numbers

Wed 2/25 - Continuing work with imaginary & complex numbers

Thurs 2/26 - Exponent rules refresher & simplifying exponents

Fri 2/27 - Converting radical and exponentials; rational and irrational numbers

As always, check the tab "Class notes & handouts" to get a second look at any power points or lessons from class, another copy of a handout or homework you may need, or a graphic organizer you may be missing.
