Spring Break to-do list & Intro to trigonometry assignment

Next week is spring break, so we won’t see each other, but you’ll still be busy.

  • Webwork:
    • NonLinearSystems due 04/02/2018
    • 3×3-Systems due 04/09/2018
  • Test #1 Solutions due Tuesday, April 3 at 10am
  • Spring break Intro to Trigonometry assignment due Tuesday, April 10 at 10am (details below)

 


Intro to Trigonometry – Due Tuesday, April 10, 10am

  1. Click here to access the assignment.
  2. Click Join.
  3. You do not need to sign in to complete the assignment; click Continue without signing in (if you continue without signing in, you will not be able to save your work; you will have to complete the assignment in one session).
  4. Enter your name.
  5. Navigate through the slides using the arrows at the top of the screen.
  6. Some of the slides just require you to read; others ask you to do something. Read each slide carefully. You can navigate backwards and forwards.
  7. Your work is saved automatically.

For a student who is focused, the whole activity might take an hour or an hour and a half. You may work with a partner, but you must each complete your own activity. It doesn’t matter too much if your answers are right or wrong, as long as it’s clear that you’ve made a real effort to complete the activity. A student whose effort is clear will earn 3 participation points.

There will be a short quiz in class on Tuesday, April 10 based on the activity. There will not be a quiz on Thursday, April 12.

 

Happy spring break!

 

Test #2 Review

Webwork – DistanceFormula: Problem 1

Find the distance between these two points: (1,2) and (0,3)

d =  √ ( X2 – X1 ) ² + ( Y2 – Y1 ) ²

d = √ ( 0 – ( -1 ) ² + ( 3 – ( -2 )²

d = √ ( 0 + 1 ) ²  + ( 3 + 2 ) ²

d = √ ( 1 ) ² + ( 5 ) ²

d = √  1 + 25

d = √  26   ✓
