Study Notes
Algebra 2 - Semester 1
-
Linear Regression (Problem 27):
- Convenience store sales of soft drinks were analyzed in relation to temperature.
- The data showed a positive correlation: higher temperatures correspond to higher sales.
- A linear regression model was used: Number of cans sold = 16.11 * Temperature - 637.85
- Independent variable: Temperature (°F)
- Dependent variable: Number of cans sold
-
Quadratic Functions (Problems 28-39):
- Factoring quadratic expressions: This involved identifying factors to rewrite expressions in the form of the product of two binomials/expressions.
- Problem 28 factors to -4x(4x-7)
- Problem 31 is not factorable using standard methods.
- Problem 34 factors to (5x + 4)(x + 3).
- Problem 37 factors to (x-3)(x-2).
-
Quadratic Equations (Problems 40–42):
- Solve by taking square roots: To find the values of 'x' when the quadratic is set equal to zero.
- Real solutions: When the solution is a real number.
- Imaginary solutions: When the solution is an imaginary number involving the square root of a negative number.
- For problem 40, x = ±2√2
- For problem 41, x = ±√(9/5)
- Problem 42 is factored to solve for x.
-
Quadratic Applications (Problem 43):
- Bacteria growth in refrigerated food: N(T) represents the number of bacteria at temperature T (degrees Celsius). N(T) = T2 - 20T + 120.
- Minimum bacteria: The temperature that minimizes bacteria growth is found using the graph of N(T) or, in this case, 10°C.
-
Word Problems (Problems 44-45):
- Problem 44 deals with the height of an object thrown into the air as a function of time, calculated using the quadratic formula.
- Problem 45 involves a graph representing the height of a ball thrown in the air in relation to time. The y-intercept (point where t=0) represents the initial height of the ball.
