Week of May 11

Academic learning at home resources have been created to provide opportunities for students to engage in meaningful learning experience during the school closure. Below you will find a list of activities that your child can complete both independently and with your support.

Learning Logs are to be completed each day when work is done. These logs will be turned in at the end of the week to your teacher. Your teacher will be in contact with you this week. If you have any questions, please contact your teacher.

Algebra I

Geometric Sequences as Exponential Functions

Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic, geometric, or neither. Explain.
Find the next three terms in each geometric sequence. See Right.
Write an equation for the nth term of the geometric sequence 896, –448, 224, … . Find the eighth term of this sequence.
Find the eighth term of a geometric sequence for which 𝑎₃ = 35 and r = 7.
Thomas is saving pennies in a jar. The first day he saves 3 pennies, the second day 12 pennies, the third day 48 pennies, and so on. How many pennies does Thomas save on the eighth day?

Solving Rational Equations

Solve each equation. Check your solution.
Kiana has made 9 of 19 free throws so far this season. Her goal is to make 60% of her free throws. If Kiana makes her next x free throws in a row, the function f(x)=9+x19+x represents Kiana’s new ratio of free throws made. How many successful free throws in a row will raise Kiana’s percent made to 60%? Is this a reasonable answer? Explain.
