Webwork, Test #3 Review, Project Parts #2 & #3

[Latexpage]

Webwork

Three of the Webwork sets that were initially due on Monday are now due next Wednesday. You can definitely look at those three before Tuesday’s class (Trigonometry – Graphing Period, Trigonometry – Graphing Phase Shift, Trigonometry – Graphing Comprehensive).

For Trigonometry – Unit Circle (due Monday) you can use the tables we were starting to complete in class today. Complete the remaining rows using the information you already have from Quadrant 1. (You could just use the calculator for this but that’s missing the point.) For problem #3, you do need to know that $\tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}$.

For Trigonometry – Graphing Amplitude (due Monday) you need to remember that once you know the graph of a function, you know how to graph *transformations* of this function. (The three other Trigonometry – Graphing Webwork sets are similar, but Amplitude should involve the easiest transformation.)

Test #3 – Review

Test #3 will be given in class on Tuesday, November 26 (right before the Thanksgiving break). It will cover the green topics on the schedule (which now includes some updates); this includes all the exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric sections.

Your instructions for the Test #3 Review are the same as they were for Test #1 Review and Test #2 Review. Your OpenLab post is due by Friday, November 22 at 11:59pm.

Project Parts #2 and #3

The last two parts of the project will not be due until after the Test #3. We will take a just quick look at them in class next Thursday and you’ll complete them on your own. You can get started before (at least take a look) now.

Part #2 due Monday, December 2 at 11:59pm (at the end of Thanksgiving break)

Part #3 due Monday, December 9 at 11:59pm (involves more writing and less calculation)

Project – Part 1 due Tuesday, November 5

Please see the updates to the schedule.

This semester you will complete a 3-part project. Part 1 is available now by clicking this link.. We will spend part of our class time on Tuesday, October 29 on the Part 1  and the rest will be assigned as homework. Part 1 must be completed by 11:59pm on Tuesday, November 5.

I recommend you sign up for a free Desmos account before you start the project. This way you will be able to save your work and come back to it. (If you aren’t signed in, you will have to start a fresh copy of the project each time you work on it.)

Parts 2 and 3 of the project will be based on Part 1 so you should save your notes. They won’t be assigned officially until later in the semester but if you would like a preview you can see Part 2 here and Part 3 here.. We will spend some class time on Part 2 but you will complete Part 3 (which involves more writing and less calculation) on your own.
