Students completed 5 - 7 on the factors and zeros worksheet. Then we completed a couple problems from the front side (Kuta Analyzing & Solving Polynomial Equations). We worked out x^3 - 1 = 0 by first factoring it with the difference of cubes formula. Then we found the zeros by using the quadratic formula on the remaining trinomial.
Lastly, we reviewed factoring trinomials where a is not 1 and not a GCF. This used the box method and we completed about 6 problems together.
HW: Complete 1 - 8 on the front side and finish 1 - 10 on the back of WS Factoring Polynomials Over Real Numbers.
