Block A Geometry PSP: Finish P.77 32-35 if you didn't already and get me your warmup journal to look at!

Block B Elementary Functions PSP: P. 148 25 - 53 odd. I was asked if you could expect a quiz on Friday -- of course, it's Friday!... Since we're done with the chapter, I'm going to focus on generating functions from other functions and inverses. (f(g(x))) and g(f(x)) along with (f+g)(x) -- domain and range are always fair things to ask about!

Block C Geometry PSP: Finish P.77 32-35 in your warmup journal

Ch3 test tomorrow --1 fill in the blank proof

Block B Elementary Functions PSP: We only met briefly because of the fair, keep studying your 12 basic functions, but we will not test on it again in the same format... I planned for the chapter 1 test on Friday, but because of losing a day, I am expecting to push that back to Monday.

Block A Geometry PSP:P.168 #23 and 32-34 all Test Wednesday!

Block B Elementary Functions PSP: Sorry we didn't get to go over homework, but hopefully inverse functions made sense. I'm glad parametric equations clicked so quickly. Try P. 135 2-20 even. Don't graph 6 or 8, just get the t-table and get the algebraic representation of y as a function of x. Chapter test Friday!

Some selected answers:
#4 (5,-1/8)
#8 b y=2x^2 -5
#16 y=(2x+3)/(x-1)
#22 y=x^3 +2

Block A Geometry PSP: Let's plan the test for yet another day..... How about tomorrow??!! Hopefully you can all make use of the extra time and study. Don't forget to look at the chapter review materials from page 60-65. Some of the topics: midpoint, distance, perimeter, area, congruence and angle relationships.

Block B Elementary Functions PSP: Keep looking at the 12 basic functions. Know how to find the domain and range of functions, and the "two main domain issues."

Block C Geometry PSP: p. 150 2-32 even 34 and 35

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Block A Geometry PSP: The homework is to finish #23 from the worksheet in class.

Block A Geometry PSP: Homework is to finish sierpinski's triangle . I will delay the test until Monday, but you will have a quiz tomorrow so be sure to study.

Block B Elementary Functions PSP: Yes, for sure you will have a quiz tomorrow.... Count on just interval notation, so you don't have to be terribly familiar with the 12 basic functions yet. Also, I will finally formally check the homework from Tuesday, so have that done (it was posted on Wednesday). Other than that, make sure you have sketches of all of the 12 basic functions on the graph paper I gave you.

Block C Geometry PSP: Test is tomorrow. Finish serpinski's triangle for homework, and study study study!!! P. 60-65 is the chapter review, I suggest you start there...

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Thank you for your patience with the substitute while I was out on Tuesday. For those of you that I saw today, you know that the homework that you received from the sub is due tomorrow. I checked over what I assigned on Monday already, and we will catch up and discuss the new topics Thursday and Friday.


Block A Geometry PSP: Finish Practice 1.5 worksheet. --- If you are planning on missing tomorrow (field trip, ect...) we will be finishing up chapter 1, working with regular polygons and reviewing for the chapter test Friday.

Block B Elementary Functions PSP: I asked the substitute to give you P. 113-114 1-28 all -- this is going over all of the 12 basic functions. Please come with questions tomorrow, and be sure you're ok with interval notation.

Block C Geometry PSP: Nice job with degree to radian and radian to degree conversions. Please finish the last two questions, and work on p. 64 14-22 skip #20 Be sure to be studying, the chapter test will be Friday!
