A textbook reference is in our Blackboard section: Course Materials / Textbooks
The FINAL EXAM will be Wednesday, May 22.
We have available here the review problems for the final exam. Each student is required to select one of these problems that you will present to the class. The sign up list is on a Google Sheets document:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/144IyHZ8n0pZB5u8-74fxX8vGOfILNjEXCAG-_vSNBQ8/edit?usp=sharing
The exam will cover the topics of Circles, Parabolas and Lines
Remember that the circle is defined by its CENTER and RADIUS
Remember that the important characteristics of a Parabola are: VERTEX, LINE OF SYMMETRY, X-Intercepts (“Roots”) and Y-Intercept
The Parabola has the two forms
General Form: $latex Ax^{2}+Bx+C=0$
Standard Form $latex A(x-h)^{2}+k=0$
The x-coordinate of the vertex is $latex \frac{-B}{2A}$
To get the y-coordinate of the vertex, put the x-value into $latex Ax^{2}+Bx+C$
and evaluate it.
The circle has the two forms
General Form: $latex Ax^{2}+Ay^{2}+Cx+Dy+C=0$
Standard Form $latex (x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$
The Center is at the point (h,k) and the radius = r.
Review these for the exam:
WebWork
Graphs-Graphs of Quadratic Equations. (Problems 1-4)
Graphs-Intro to Conics (Problems 1 and 12)
ShiftingParabolas (Understand all of these)
Graphs-Equation of a Line (Problems 4 and 6)
REMEMBER the 6-point process.
Here are practice problems for the exam:
Zero Product Rule
Solve $latex (x-2) (3x-7)=0$
Radical Equations
Solve $latex \sqrt{7s-3} +2 = 0$
Quadratic Equations
$latex \frac{1}{2}x^{2}+4=24$
$latex 2x^{2}+9x-5=0$
Rational Equations
$latex \frac{x}{x+6}=\frac{4}{7}$
$latex 1-\frac {5}{y}=-\frac{6}{y^{2}}$
Roots
Give a polynomial of degree 4 with roots 2,3,−1 and 0. You can keep it in factored form.
6-point process:
Apply the 6-point discussion to any of the above problems.
Here are practice problems for the exam:
Radical Expressions
Solve $latex (7+\sqrt3) (7-\sqrt3)$
Evaluate $latex 16^{3/2}$
Simplify $latex \frac{4}{3}ab\sqrt{18a^3}+\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{8a^5b^2}$
Complex Numbers
Simplify $latex \sqrt{-36}$
Multiply $latex (7-2i)(4+i)$
Evaluate $latex i^{26}$
Complex Fractions
Apply the 6-point process to the complex fraction below. Then actually simplify it according to your “strategy”
Simplify $latex \frac{ \frac{3}{y^{2} }+\frac{1}{y} } {\frac{9}{y^{2}}-1} $
Solve each question from the exam and submit it as a HomeWork assignment.
Due: Monday, March 4

Professor’s Daily Notes in Class
For now, these are posted on our Blackboard site in the section “Class Notes”
As we discussed in class today, we are using a 6-point system to approach problems. Do a 6-point analysis for the question
“How can I do well in this class?”
Prepare this tonight (Monday) and in Tuesday’s class discuss this with your group. Prepare a single result and post it in your Group Post.

Objectives
We will introduce the 6-point approach that will be used in this class.
The problem-solving approach we use in this manuscript is based on the 6-point process developed by Professors Rojas and Benakli 1 .
- Context: What is the problem about?
- Observations: List as many observations as possible (at least three). Include key words and symbols.
- Questions: Write down (at least three) questions you can ask about the problem. Be sure to include any questions you have relating to the observations you have made.
- Strategies: Write down the plan or action strategy.
- Concepts: Write down concepts needed to understand and solve the problem.
- Conclusions: Use complete sentences to express the conclusion.
Activities
Think carefully about these 6 points. Apply them to a problem that interests you. If you like, consider this: “How can I succeed in this class?”
