Topics:
• More practice simplifying complex fractions
We worked in pairs on the example in these notes, done two ways: MAT1275ComplexFractions
Make sure that you understand how each of the two methods works and that you can use both methods fluently. As promised, I have snipped out the textbook pictures of the example of Method II (and I’ve added one of their examples of Method I: it is posted on the Piazza discussion board.
• This blog, WeBWorK, and Piazza – we found this blog and logged on to WeBWorK and explored it a bit.
Homework:
• Please see this checklist (separate post) and make sure that you have caught up with everything on it by the next time we meet!
• Review the example we worked in class. Make sure that you understand how the two methods for simplifying a complex fraction work, and that you can describe how to do them in a few words. We will be seeing complex fractions again later in the course!
• Do the homework problems from the Course Outline on Complex Fractions (p. 487) if you have not already done them.
• Do the WeBWorK, starting with the Orientation assignment at least to problem #8, before you do the rest. The deadline is Tuesday 11 PM, but start early! Do not wait to the last minute!
Please make sure to read this page on the WeBWorK policies for this class.
Remember that you can use the Piazza discussion board to ask questions if you get stuck on any of the WeBWorK or the other homework problems. Don’t forget to include the problem itself in your question, as that will make it easier for you to get a quick response!
