Absolute Value Inequalities and A Continued Emphasis on Investing in Class Notes

Home Nugget #7
Assigned on Thursday January 15, 2009

PART I due on Friday January 16, 2009

Journal entry #1 of the 3rd term is due, based on the specific rubric that was both provided and explained. "The top ten list"

Continue to work on your class notes: this includes not just reviewing them but also adding to them where they are lacking or continuing explorations which you may not have completed in class. These notes are invaluable, meaning that they are worth exponentially more than your textbook, for instance.

From Algebra book page 332 # 11 - 34
