Thanks for coming to class, working hard and together.  Just a week and a half until February Break.  
Note:  Class on Wed, Feb 10, 2016 is cancelled because of school-wide faculty meetings at 7:15.
We finished our first Unit 2 Quiz: classifying, adding and multiplying polynomials and complex numbers.

Wednesday and Thursday, we are going to extend our factoring toolbox with:
difference of squares 
difference of cubes
sum of cubes

Quiz Friday, Feb 5, 2016 on these plus remembering basic quadratic factoring!
​Practice with difference and sum of cubes

Practice with difference of squares

How do you factor difference of squares, difference of cubes and sum of cubes?
First:  when you see two terms and a degree of 2 or 3, think to use ds, dc, or sc.
Second: what is the degree?  If 2, then use ds.  If 3, ds or dc.
