Algebra II: Finished the test today -- we will be starting chapter 5 tomorrow, and have 2 quizzes and possibly 1 test before break. Be sure you're on your A-game!

Elementary Functions: Project was due today -- if you haven't turned it in, make absolute sure that you do ASAP.

Test was today, and I hope you all made it out alive. I hope to have scores by tomorrow possibly -- Wednesday at the latest. If you are already planning a retake, retakes need to be done BEFORE break.

I would like you to start chapter 4 by yourselves -- we will be doing our best to get this chapter done by break. This means a fairly aggressive pace, so I hope you are up to it! You would be best served if you read the entire first section alone, but i am only requiring P. 338-339, and that you work on 1-8 all on p343. The scan has pages 2 and 3 transposed, but you can click through.

Once I introduce Sine Cosine and Tangent, you will be required to memorize Sin,cos,tan of 0,30,45,60 and 90 degree angles. There will be a quiz this Friday of just that, so you can do yourself a favor and look up a table, or wait for it to be introduced in class and take careful notes (also, I suggest flash cards).

Finally, here is the pool that I will be assigning homework from in the next 2 weeks:
Sec. 4.1 Angles and Their Measures
p. 343 – 345 #1-13 all, 19-33 odd, 35, 37, 41, 43



Sec. 4.2 Trigonometric Functions of Acute Angles
p. 352 – 354 #3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 25-35 odd, 45-48 all, 57, 60

p. 353 – 354 # 19-24 all, 37-44 all, 49-52 all, 55, 58, 61, 65, 66


*Sec. 4.8 Solving Problems with Trigonometry
p. 410 – 412 #1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 22



Sec. 4.3 Trigonometry Extended: The Circular Functions
p. 365 #1, 9, 14, 15-20 all, 22, 25, 27, 29

p. 365 – 366 #31-51 odd, 61-64

Sec. 4.4 Graphs of Sine and Cosine: Sinusoids
p. 376 - 377 #1, 9, 19, 23, 25, 26, 29, 31, 33

p. 377 - 378 #35-41 odd, 49-55 odd, 60, 67
