Grade 9 October 20-24, 2011

Hello all students in grade 9 for 2011 to 2012. Here is your homework for this weekend. Do question 4 and 5 in your math text book on page 60. Complete Mangahigh Challenges and Studyladder work as well.

For all students who have yet to hand in their Stash-It ... get it done.

Some students still owe me a post... you know who you are... get it done.

Have a great weekend.

Math Words For Chapter 10

Please put the following words into a foldable give a definition, draw a picture and a not picture. These are the words: minor arc, major arc, perpendicular bisector, tangent, chord, inscribed angle, central angle and subtend.

Work to be handed in for Unit 5

Dear students,

For unit five I would like you to submit an electronic Stash-it. In it you will have all the words from the unit described and illustrated. Give "not" examples if it applies. For instance showing that x and x squared are not like terms.

As well I would like you to hand in your work for the Kayak for Rent Challenge problem from page 204 in your textbook,electronically.

The last thing I want you to do is give examples for the Outcomes for Chapter 5 to show you can do the work, from your self assessment. Also tell the colour you are for that outcome.Example:

5.1 I can use mathematical terminology to describe polynomials:green x monomial, -2x + 5, binomial, 3x + 7y - 4, trinomial, 2a - 3b - 5c -7 polynomial, etc.

I would like this work submitted to me at rbacke@wsd1.org no later than Friday January 21, 2011. As usual if you have any questions see me.

Chapter 3 Practice Test Answers for 9-06

BLM 3–12 Chapter 3 Test
1. D 2. C 3. D 4. A 5. D 6. 28
7. -1/8 8. –(4)^3, (–1)^5, 2^3, (–4)^2
9. a) 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
b) (–1) × (–6) × (–6) × (–6) × (–6) × (–6)
c) 4 × 4 × 4 × 5 × 5 × 5
10. a) 6^3 b) 7^4 c) 2^12
11. 11^3 means that a base of 11 is multiplied
3 times: 11^3 = 1331. 3^11 means that a base of 3
is multiplied 11 times: 3^11 = 177 147.
12. a) In the third line, Austin incorrectly distributed the exponent over subtraction to the bases of 1 and 0.05. You can only distribute an exponent over multiplication: (ab)^x = (a^x)(b^x).
I = 100(0.95)^3; I = 100(0.857375); I ≈ 86. The light intensity is approximately 86%.
b) When d = 15, I = 46%.
