Be prepared for a class notes quiz tomorrow that will be counted under the Journal category of the 2nd term grade. All notes from term 2 are fair game.

ALSO, study the derivation of the quadratic formula on page 276 with an eye on what exactly seems to be happening in each step. Understanding the formula goes hand in hand with being able to effectively use it.
