Maybe finally in class!!
OBVIOUSLY, test must be delayed, will write quiz on FRIDAY this week. Assignment #2 is due today in class and we will do the SHAPES SURVEY for the first part of class. Then we will wrap up section on solving radical equations.
Assignment #2 is due today…review of material on radicals and exponents. Prep for the quiz on Wednesday.
Assigned booklet page 14 as homework page. This covers exponential equations.
Friday we will be working on solving various types of radical equations. Next Wednesday we will have a quiz on radicals and exponents.
The problems in booklet on radicals should be finished for <onday. With the storm day this should be now completed by Monday. On MOnday the handout sheet will be considered as ASSIGNMENT #1. We have done p261-2 on handout and the other page should be passed in for WEDNESDAY. On Monday we will go over any problems experienced with the booklet pages especially the geometry problems. We will also then procede through the booklet and start problems on exponents. After the exponent second and a correspponding assignment we will have our first quiz. TUESDAY our class and Mr Wynne’s class will have a presentation by Grant Canvin from Holland College.
Hope Feb 14th was “heart-warming”.
This week we are working on radicals. A worksheet was passed out and we did p261-2 to date. We have done p1-5 of the Radical Workbook and will proceed in this workbook over the next week. Wednesday is a work day and both Tues and Wed nights, 1/2 h of time should be spent. We will finish exercises in their entirity through to the start of exponents.
HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT HOLIDAY!
We have done basic sine law and cosine law problems before the break.
Monday we will do a few more problems where you need to decide which law to use:
Hint: In SSS or SAS information given problems, use cosine law. For other use sine law. Remember, only use Pythagorean Theorem when given right triangles. We will introduce Monday the sine law ambiguous case. Then as well, between Monday and Tuesday problems where diagrams need to be created using angles of elevation and angles of depression and throw in the ambiguous case where it applies. After workday on Wednesday, we will wrap this up and probably quiz on Friday. Next Monday we will start matrix work.
This is it for week #1 in 2009!
For Monday a journal piece is required and the topic is “Nature of the Roots” for a quadratic equation. Notes and text may be used to give examples, formulas, graphs and definitions of what goes on with the roots and why and when.
On Monday the class will be used to work on an assignment to be finished and passed in before classtime in AM on TUESDAY> We have a test on all the quadratics we have done since midterm exams on Wed
Includes, radicals, complex and imaginary numbers, solving quad eqs with factors, square root principle, quad formula, nature of the roots and Sum and Product of the roots.
THURSDAY we start TRIG
See page 232
#5-#10, solve only
Also #19, 21,27,28…………….to be passed in.
We are working on radicals all this week. Homework for Tuesday is #1-63 odd on p165. Tuesday we continue from Square root principle to solving quadratics using the quadratic formula. Wednesday will be a work day review day for all radicals and solving equations using all methods learned to date:
1. graphing after completing the square
2. Factoring and using the zero product property
3. Square root principle
4. Quadratic formula.
Assigned problems for Thursday and Friday will be on p178
We will continue on then with complex numbers and then solving any quadratic equation regardless of rational, irrational or complex roots.
Test preps #1-5 are being gone over thoroughly in class in preparation for our test this Friday afternoon.
Test covers linear equations as per prep 1-3 and quiz # 1/2 and quadratics from start with a,b and c work to solving quadratics by factoring.
