19. You can use your calculator to solve this problem.
28.
a. Draw a scatter plot using the x and y values they give you for year and cassettes. Then say what type of correlation it is.
b. Do the same thing as in a except for year and cds.
c. Then describe the correlation between cassette shipments and cd shipments. What could cause this correlation?
29.
a. No, life expectancy depends on factors such as healthcare and gender, not computers.
b. As the wealth of a country increases people can buy computers, so because of the increased wealth life expectancy and the number of computers are likely to increase.
2.7 questions
11. The function has been stretched vertically by a factor of 2, translated left 1 unit and down 6 units.
25. When you start your points are (2, 0), (1,2) and (-2, 3). When you sketch your new function your points are (-1,1), (2,2), and (3,4).
27. You just perform the operations based on your function.
33. No, it’s not a function because it doesn’t pass the vertical line test.
35. h = 1 and k = any real number ≠ 4.
37. Graph the equation then see where your highest point is. It will be at 50,000 pairs of shoes.

Syllabus
Algebra 2 Syllabus
Instructor: Amber Allshouse, Room 312, aallshouse@dis.or.kr
Class Times: Blue Days; Grade 9, 8:00 – 9:25 am; Grade 10, 1:05 – 2:30pm
Textbook: Larson, Boswell, Kanold, and Stiff – Larson Algebra 2, Holt McDougal: Orlando, Florida, 2011
Course Description: In Algebra II students learn to represent various families of functions—linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, radical, and rational—in various ways: such as verbal descriptions, equations, tables, and graphs. Algebra II lessons also include concepts and applications of trigonometry, geometry, data analysis and probability. Assessments are done in a variety of formats: multiple choice, short response, extended response, and major situation-based applications.
Attendance Policy: Regular attendance of this class is expected to perform satisfactorily; excessive absences will make it difficult for students to complete the course to its fullest. Students are expected to arrive to class on time and prepared. Also, if a student knows ahead of time about an absence, they should meet with me to find out what work needs to be done when they return to the class.
Grading Policy: Grades will be assigned based upon completion of daily homework, quizzes, projects and tests. The grading scale is as follows: 93 – 100% = A, 85- 92% = B, 75 – 84% = C, 70 – 74% = D, any grade 69% or below is an F. Student’s grades will be determined as follows: class participation 10%, daily homework 20%, quizzes 30%, projects and tests 40%. Semester grades will be determined by adding quarter one and quarter 2 or quarter 3 and quarter 4; (Q1 + Q2) or (Q3 + Q4) = 80% and the semester exam will be 20% of the student’s grade.
Cheating/Plagiarism Policy: Cheating will not be accepted, if a student is caught cheating they will receive a zero on the assignment. The same is said for plagiarism which means copying another student’s work and calling it their own.
Late Work Policy: Late work will be docked ten points a day, unless you have an excused absence (see absence policy), and will not be accepted after 2 weeks from the original due date. Students need to attach a late work slip to their assignment or it will not be accepted. There will be exceptions made for extenuating circumstances.
Makeup Policy: Students that miss a class are expected to make up the work missed. It is a student’s responsibility to meet with me outside of class to determine what work needs to be done. Some assignments may not be able to be made up, such as: group projects or lab activities
Retake Policy: Any student that receives an F will have the opportunity to request a makeup quiz or test. To retake an assignment it is the student’s responsibility to meet me with me to determine an appropriate time within 3 class periods of the original quiz or test. Students that retake an assignment can raise their grade up to a 75 which is a C.
Additional Assistance: Additional assistance is available from me during my learning lab on green days at 1:05 – 2:30 pm as well as on Mondays from 2:30 to 5pm. If a student requires a different time they may e-mail me or set up a time that I can meet with them to provide assistance. If a student wants to meet in the morning they must email me before 7pm that night.
Homework: Students can expect homework every class period; this homework is expected to be attempted fully. If there are problems that students do not know, they should write them on their homework paper and bring them into class where we will go over the problems. Students should not ever leave an entire homework assignment blank; they should at least attempt the homework. Homework will be posted daily on the classroom blog. To get the homework go to blogger.com and type in DISAlgebra2Grade9 or DISAlgebra2Grade10 (depending on grade) into the search bar.
