variable in an expression? Explain your answer. Can you solve for a variable in
an equation? Explain your answer. Write a mathematical phrase or sentence for
your classmates to translate.

What are the steps of the order of
operations? Why is it important that you follow the steps rather than solve the
problem from left to right? Write an expression for your classmates to simplify
using at least three of the following: o Groupings: Parenthesis, brackets, or
braces o Exponents o Multiplication or division o Addition or subtraction
Consider participating in the discussion by simplifying a classmate’s
expression, showing how the expression would be incorrectly simplified if
computed from left to right, or challenging the class with a complicated
expression. Respond to your initial post and provide your classmates with the
answer to your expression.

How do you know if a value is a
solution for an inequality? How is this different from determining if a value
is a solution to an equation?

equation with an inequality sign, is there ever a time when the same value will
be a solution to both the equation and the inequality?
Write an inequality and provide a
value that may or may not be a solution to the inequality.

scatter plot and a line graph? What type of information would be better
represented in a line graph?
MAT 116 Discussion Question 16

can you say about the slope and graph of that line? What if a line has no
x-intercept? What would be the slope of that line, what would the graph look
like?
How would you graph the line y = -1/2x + 2?

not be appropriate values even when they are defined by your classmates’
function.
