wed 12/10

All students have their final unit test tomorrow.

then finals is next week.

This would be a great time to work really hard so that winter break feels extra good!

tuesday 12/9

I was at a conference today so there was no hw assigned by the sub,

HOWEVER, there is plenty to prepare for, such as the last unit tests and the final.  Use your time well.  Check on your review guides and try studying effectively with a partner.

You will most likely be done with this course in just over a week so try to go out swinging hard like Sugar Ray.

monday 12/8

alg II P - start studying for test on Thursday!

alg II HP - finish 29, 33 from class

alg I P -  no hw.

11. A hunter shoots a dart through a blowgun.  The dart travels by M(t) = – 5t² + 10t + 2 where M(t) is height and t is time in seconds.  He is trying to hit a wild turkey that is in a tree that is 4 meters off the ground.  Will the dart hit the turkey?  Explain your reasoning.

Alg II HP Conics Review Guide-updated for the second time!

Ch 10 review   alg II   Parker test

Believe it or not...people actually requested the review guide for the Conics test on the 25th.

To the best of my knowledge, this will be on the test.  About 8-10 problems.  

·      * Look at pg. 764 #9-13 for identifying conics  (10-6)

·      * Study eccentricity of ellipses and hyperbolas, which would be challenge problems in
10-2 and 10-3.

·      * Be able to go from graph to equation and visa-versa.

      *  Do Domain and Range for any type of conic in interval notation.

         You will be expected to know the standard equation of each type of conic, but I will give the formula for eccentricity.

   

I've changed my mind about the word problems.  Let's have two!  I am thinking something like the whale problem from 10-4 (hyperbolas).    And the lizard problem from 10-6.

·      There are a lot of practice problems on pg S22 in the back of the book (skill practice).

wed 11/12

alg I P-  whatever Mr. Russell said

wed 10/29

alg II P - #15-23 ODDS ON PG. 442


alg II HP -  your project is due on Friday before we start the perf task.  If you missed today, here are the directions:

30 points in quiz category – attach this paper to your project

This project will ask you to graph an equation based on its zeros, y-intercept, and end behavior. 

Math:  Create a coordinate plane.  Plot the y-intercept.

To get the roots, use the rational root theorem and synthetic division to reduce the equation to a quadratic. Then solve the quadratic using factoring or the quadratic formula. If solutions are imaginary, list them.  List all possible zeroes on your paper (p/q).    

Describe the end behavior next to your graph.(Check notes 6-7).

Art:  After you graph it, turn it into a picture.  Treat it like a Rorschach inkblot.  In other words, draw what you think you see in the graph.  It is like the game of staring at the clouds and telling others what the clouds look like.

Grading:  Most of the grade comes from your display of math knowledge, but neatness, originality and artistry factor into the grade as well.

Breakdown:  math 50%, neatness 10%, artistry 25%, originality 15%.

and here is your equation:  

y=½ x²(2x⁴+3x³-x²+6x-10)

Word problems:
be able to set up a proportion in a problem that compares two things - one big, one small
be able to set up an equation with variables on both sides when the problem is talking about the better of 2 options.
be able to set up an inequality when finding the better of 2 options.

alg II P-  still got that test next week!  review guide is on this blog a post or two earlier.

alg II HP -  nice job finishing the first unit; we start unit II on Monday- Quadratics   If you have not turned in the POU... get it in immediately


alg I P - unit 1 test on Friday 9/19  4 things to turn in on Monday  #2-7 from textbook, pgs. 27, 36 and 37 from RFM workbook

alg II P Review Guide for Unit 1 test on Tuesday

1.  Make sure you can graph an equation based on its parent function and transformations:

ex. 1  y = -(x+2)^3 -7  is a cubic function that has 3 transformations with its major turning point at
(-2, -7)


2.  Be able to identify transformations by name.  In the example above, I would say:  vertical reflection, horizontal shift of 2 to the left, vertical shift down 7.


3.  Be able to write domain and range of a function in interval notation.

ex. 2   for the equation in ex. 1, I would say that all values can be used for x so domain would be
(-infinity, infinity).  However, the graph is a negative parabola and it cannot go higher than -7, so its range would be (-infinity, -7)  except it would be a hard bracket next to the -7 ( I can't find that symbol in this application).


4.  Be able to graph a piecewise function from an equation.

ex.  3   y= x+4 when x<3 and  y = x^2+5 when x >3



5.  Be able to go in reverse of the above.  Look at a graph of a piecewise function and be able to write the equation including the intervals for each piece.

Alg II HP review guide unit 1

As of Friday August 29th, this is the review guide.  

Unit 1 review guide

Be able to determine domain of a function by graph or by equation.

Make sure you can graph a parent function that has been transformed by recognizing the transformations.  Ex.  Y = 2(x-1)² + 6

Be able to name the transformations in an equation.

Be able to write an equation from a description of a parent function and transformations.

Be able to identify transformations from a change in a situation from the original story.

Be able to identify a new point on a general function by the transformations in the equation.  Ex.  Where is (1,2) of f(x) on the graph Y = 2f(x+3)-8

Be able to make an equation, including interval, from a piecewise graph and visa-versa.

Be able to make a piecewise function from a word problem.

No composite functions on test.  Learn them well for next year by doing the POU.

pre calc final review guide

Pre calc review guide – final 2014

This test is about 20 problems that should take about an hour to 75 minutes to complete.

The majority of problems come from ch. 9 and 10.  STUDY THOSE TESTS FROM THIS SECTION!!!!!!!!!   However, there are a few from 8-2 trig graphs and ch 11-1 polar graphs.
Check out pgs. 365 and 393, the chapter reviews for ch 9 and 10.

*** Be prepared to solve trig equations and establish identities just like you did in ch 10.

There will be 5-6 problems that involve double angles and addition formulas.  You will be given the formulas but make sure you understand how to use them! (Ch 10)

I suggest you break out your tests from ch. 9 and 10 make sure you can do those problems.  Gee, this is the second time I mentioned this.

We will work the 2 days before finals so come ready with questions and you will be in very good shape for this test.

And don't forget to wish Bon Voyage to our seniors who are leaving us!!!!!
