Topic:  Evaluate  exponents.    
 
1)  Complete  the  following  table  using  a  calculator  (if  necessary).  Write  any  decimals  as  a  fraction.    
 
3! =   3! =   3! =   3! =   3! =   3!! =   3!! =   3!! =  

 
2)  What  do  you  notice  about  3!  and  3!! ?  How  do  you  think  this  observation  will  help  you  when  
evaluating  negative  exponents  without  a  calculator?      
 
Simplify  and  evaluate  the  following.    
 
3)  3!!   4)   0.5 !!   5)  2!   6)  4!!  
 
Write  the  following  expressions  three  different  ways  (one  way  can  include  the  simplified  value).    
 
7)   2! 4     8)   3! (2! )  
 
Set.    
Topic:  Solve  systems  of  equations.    
 
Solve  the  following  systems  of  equations  using  elimination  of  variables,  then  justify  graphically.    
 
3𝑦 + 2𝑥 = 6 3𝑥 + 𝑦 = 9 4𝑥 − 𝑦 = 10
9)     10)     11)    
5𝑦 − 2𝑥 = 10 5𝑥 + 4𝑦 = 22 2𝑥 = 12 − 3𝑦

     
 
12)  A  150-­‐yard  pipe  is  cut  to  provide  drainage  for  two  fields.  If  the  length  of  one  piece  (a)  is  three  yards  
less  than  twice  the  length  of  the  second  piece  (b),  what  are  the  lengths  of  the  two  pieces?

Graph  the  following  linear  inequalities  on  the  graphs  below.    
 
16)  Ben  has  enough  money  to  buy  up  to  eight  yogurts.  If  his  favorite  flavors  are  
blueberry  and  strawberry,  what  are  all  the  possible  combinations  he  can  buy?  
Graph  the  inequality  that  shows  all  possible  combinations  of  his  favorite  
flavors.    
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
17)  Peggy  is  buying  a  balloon  bouquet.  Her  favorite  colors  are  silver  and  
purple.  The  silver  balloons  are  $1  and  the  purple  balloons  are  $0.80.  Graph  an  
inequality  that  shows  how  many  of  each  balloon  she  can  put  in  her  bouquet  if  
she  doesn’t  plant  to  spend  more  than  $20.
