Homework #6 – due March 9, 10, & 11 (Updated)

WebWork sets Derivatives-ChainRule, Derivatives-InverseTrig, and Derivatives-Exponential-Logs are all due Sunday night. Don’t forget to set your clock FORWARD. Otherwise, these sets will be due an hour before you expect them to be.

There is no written component this week. Instead, you’ll complete the Test #1 Review assignment. Instructions are here. Don’t forget, before you publish your post, add the category “Test #1 Review.” As long as everyone remembers that part, you’ll be able to see all the submissions here.

Update: Since I droned on and on about old homework in today’s class (sorry) we didn’t get to derivatives of inverse trig functions, so the due date for Webwork set Derivatives-InverseTrig will be postponed, now due Tuesday night. The questions aren’t too hard, once you have the tools, though, and questions of this type may appear on Wednesday’s test, so you’re more than welcome to try this Webwork set now. All you’ll need is what’s contained in Theorem 3 on page 180.

I just realized that I may have written the wrong section numbers on the board today. We covered part of Section 3.8 and part of Section 3.9. From Section 3.8 all that’s left is the derivatives of the inverse trigonometric functions. Section 3.9 includes a discussion of hyperbolic trigonometric functions, which I plan on skipping (but you’re welcome to read yourself), so we’re officially done with 3.9.

My plan for Monday’s class is to finish off 3.8 and then go over the review questions you guys are putting up on the OpenLab, and tie up any other loose ends that need tying up before Wednesday’s test.
