Real Pre-Calculus
This unit is to remind students of important concepts they will be using next year. Included will be reviews (and sometimes extensions) of algebra, functions and trigonometry.
Below is a "best option" calendar for the end of the year. Here are the worksheets we will be using.
A) Potpourri of Review Answers
B) Algebra Review 1 Answers
C) Algebra II Review Answers
D) Trig Review Answers
E) Algebra Review Task Answers
You will have a trig review, a graphing review and another review coming.
Changes will be made as needed.
Most of this work can be done independently - so if you are not in class, you should still be able to complete most of it. See me in the mornings, during 4th period lunch or Tuesday and/or Thursday afternoons for extra help if you need it.
However, I will not be at school on Tuesday, May 8 or Wednesday, May 9.
We have been on schedule so far, but I need to clarify the lab requirements. First of all, this is a "bonus" lab and can only help your grade if you turn it in. (I will enter your grade if you were here and a 0 is you were not and then I will drop 2 quiz grades. If you were absent, the lab doesn't count against you. If you were here, it might be higher than one of your other quiz/labs and it can help your grade.)
LAB REQUIREMENTS: Friday you launched a water balloon and you measured the values of three variables. You approximated A) the initial height from which the balloon was launched, you measured B) the horizontal distance that the balloon traveled, and someone timed C) how long the balloon was in the air before it hit ground. Your task is to show calculations to determine A) the initial velocity with which the balloon was launched, B) the angle of elevation of the launch and C) the maximum height the balloon achieved. This must be written well enough for me to read and understand in short turn around time. I will need words and equations. Be concise but thorough. It counts as a quiz/lab grade and is due Wednesday, May 16th and that date is final. If you aren't going to be in class, email it to me. Since this is a bonus there will be no exceptions.
Here is a powerpoint review I used in the past. It's pretty good!
5/16/2018 - We are reviewing for the final exam. Here is a synopsis of the notes we took in class as well as some problems from on-level Pre-Calculus. Furthermore, here are some practice problems from our auxiliary text: At the end of the Trig Applications Chapter, on page 466, work problems 1 - 48 as needed. At the end of the Polar Equations Chapter, on page 735, work problems 10-55 as needed. Remember that the answers are on my blog.
ALSO Thanks to Emily for a study guide that's too large for this website. Therefore I loaded in on lhsblogs.typepad.com/poss/ . I think she deserves SOTD for the rest of the semester!
