Hint. The "*" is for really important ones. These are the new definitions from the past week you are to have flash cards for and to have memorized. The quiz this week will have some of these and some from prior weeks. You need to have them all memorized. Period. Stop hoping you will remember these by accident. Put in your work. Memory is repeating, repeating, repeating. Memory is repeating, repeating, repeating. Memory is...see- you remembered, why? :-):
*3 Steps for Completing the Square, Quadratic Formula, d = non perfect square (but still positive), d = negative.
The ones from last week that are almost certain to be on this week's again are the 2 special patterns below.
* Difference of Squares = (a2 - b2) = (a + b)(a - b)
* Perfect Square Trinomial with Positive Middle Term = (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
* Perfect Square Trinomial with Negative Middle Term = (a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2
* Shorthand and Preferred Way of Writing Both Perfect Square Trinomials
(a +- b)2 = a2 +- 2ab + b2
