Due Sunday, April 18
The instructions for this week’s group and individual assignment are similar to those for the Test #1 solutions: individuals will submit their own posts and the group secretary will link to them in the group post. Every individual who submits their own post and whose name appears on the group post will earn two participation points.
Motivation
Test #2 is coming up in Week 13 (you can see the week-by-week schedule here). This is a Test #2 review assignment. As in Test #1, you’ll have some questions that are similar to your HOT topic portfolio questions and you’ll have some other questions that are similar to the Rederly homework questions from Unit 2.
Before you meet with your group
Before you meet with your group, look through your questions on the following Rederly sets (even if you haven’t answered them):
- Series – Taylor and Maclaurin Polynomials
- Series – Infinite Series
- Series – Infinite Series
- Series – Integral Test
- Series – Divergence Test
- Series – Comparison Tests
- Series – Alternating Series
- Series – Ratio and Root Tests
(Note: there are two more sets in Unit 2 that will be covered on Test #2 but are not listed here.)
Look for questions that look fundamentally different from questions on your HOT topic portfolio. Fundamentally different means that the instructions for the question differ from those for HOT topic portfolio questions. Make a note of which questions you found.
When you meet with your group
- Discuss each of the questions that you found with your group (you do not have to solve them yet). Did any group members choose the same questions? Did any group member choose a question that is not fundamentally different from another group member’s HOT topic question? You may like to go back to your Rederly sets during your discussion to see more questions.
- As a group, from the list of your non-HOT topic questions, choose a question that each group member is responsible for. Make sure each group member’s question is fundamentally different from every other group member’s question.
- As a group, carefully answer the questions that you’ve chosen. This will probably take some serious discussion. Make sure every group member is comfortable with the solution that they are responsible for.
Individual post
Your individual post will include the text of the question and your complete solution for the question you are responsible for.
Title your post by the Rederly set name and the question number (so that other students can find the corresponding question in their own sets). Choose the category Week 11 individual post.
Group post
Once all the individual posts are posted, link to each of them. Include the group member’s name and the Rederly set name and question number.
Title the post Group n Week 11 group post (where n is your group number). Select the category Week 11 group post before publishing.
