Review Guide for alg II hp Trig

I will have a review guide that I will project in class.  Our book does not have the required problems.

There should be about 12 problems from the unit (ch 9).

2 solving longer equations
3 solving short equations
2 establishing identities
1 utilizing the unit vocab
1 right triangle application
1 graph- equation relationship
1 even vs. odd function
1 making a trig ratio from a point on the circle


The identities factor pretty heavily in this test.

honors trig videos

Here are some videos I found that could be helpful with the identities and trig equations.

trig identities - Sal is sloppy but he does explain it well - there are even 2 more parts to this.

Establishing Identities - hard to find a good one but these seem fine

Here is one about using factoring to solve.

Algebra I polynomial review guide

There is a test on Thursday  There are 13 problems.


6 factoring polynomials

1-  polynomials classification

2 combining like terms

2 multiplying polynomials

1 Finding area of a composite figure

1 finding perimeter of a figure

1 solving a system of equations



For classification and like terms, read p. 636-638


for multiplying, do the following

(x - 4)( x +11)         and    (x^2 - 3x +1)(2x + 3)


for factoring, see p. 675 #7


We have done the area of a composite figure, we have done it 3 times.  Check an old hw packet to review that.  Same thing for the SOE.

Stats test review guide

There is going to be a test on Friday on the stats we worked on in class.  Most of it is in chapter 11 but a few will be from chapter 10

The concepts are:

2- finding the number of combinations or permutations (10.5)
1  using a table to find probability (10.3)
1 finding multi-event probability (10.2)
1 building a bell curve from mean and standard deviation  (11.1)
3 finding probability from a bell curve (11.1)
1 comparing samples and population (11.2)
2 on sampling techniques and methods (11.3)

If you want to start early, you can go to the chapter review at the end of each chapter and start doing those problems.  I will list some other ones you can do later this week.

alg I -  We turned in our work for the week which included the warn up 16 and a puzzle. 

Thursday 2, 4, 6

I was out today though Mr Russell was there for periods 4 and 6.  He had work he assigned and collected.  If you missed today, turn in the work for this week when you return.


Period 2 was given work by the sub - 3 assignments since it was a 2-hour class.  You should have turned it in.  See me if you missed it so you can make it up. 

See you all on Monday.

Some of you might want the lecture to the intro to unit circle again.  I found some videos that contain the same info I gave for section 9.3.  Copy and paste the links into your browser to see the videos and ask questions in class while you have the chance.
