Today's lesson reviewed the in-class investigation worked by the students on 4-28.  The investigation included 17 questions and 40 small graphs to sketch.  The lesson today broke the 40 graphs into the sub categories defined by each chapter.  As a class, we discussed the conclusions and observations pertinent to each type of polar equation.  The test/large quiz on polar equations and conversions is next class.  Homework is found on page 689 19-34 of the text.

Today’s lesson consists only of the review of page 681 homework, # 39-77 odd.  After reviewing the homework problems, the students took a quiz on conversions of Polar points and equations.  The homework for the evening is to complete the Polar Graph Investigation project.

Today's lesson began with an overview of the next unit, Polar Graphs.  Please listen to hear the schedule of upcoming assignments and/or tests.  The lesson continued with an introduction of polar axis, plotting  points, finding multiple names for points, converting points from polar to rectangular coordinates and vise versa.  The homework for tonight is page 680 1-19 odd, 25-31 odd.

Today's lesson begins by going over the ellipse and circle homework.  The class then took a homework quiz (not on the pod cast) based on the ellipse and circle homework.  The focus for the day is hyperbolas with an emphasis on the general form of all conics.  After 3 review problems on hyperbolas, the class discussed the general form and ended class working problems from the note hand-out.  The homework is a worksheet on hyperbolas as well as to study for the large quiz on all conics using the general form.

Today's lesson began with a review of Parabolas from before Spring Break.  The students, after reviewing worked in groups completing the homework worksheet on parabolas.  We then began identifying and graphing circles and completed the class with ellipses.  The homework is two worksheets one reviewing circles, the other, ellipses.  There is a homework quiz next class on parabolas, ellipses and circles.

Today's lesson began with a review of the recent test on Sequences and Series (not audible on the podcast). We then reviewed graphing parabolas in standard form that open up or down, completing the square to put standard form of parabolas into vertex form, and graphing parabolas using completing the square that open left of right.  There are several handouts associated with the lecture.  There is no homework due to spring break!

Today's lesson went over chapter 8 section 5.  This is the last section of chapter 8 prior to the test next class.  The lesson begins with a warm-up worksheet reviewing arithmetic and geometric sequences and series.  We then reviewed the quiz from sections 8.1-8.3 (not recorded on the pod cast).  The lesson ended with section 8.5, Pascal's Triangle and the Binomial Theorem.

Today’s lesson begins by reviewing the test on chapter 5, Trigonometric Identities.  The review of the test is not on the podcast.  Please see me for help on test questions.  The podcast begins by reviewing homework on Arithmetic Sequences and Series found on page 573-574 (1-25 odd, 35-41 odd, 53-67 odd, 77-79 odd).    The lesson progresses into an in-depth look at specific Geometric sequences and Finite and Infinite Series.  The homework for tonight is page 582-583 (1, 7, 11, 19, 21, 33, 35, 45-53 odd, 59-67 odd).  There is a quiz on Chapter 8, 8.1-8.3 next class. Students may use a 3x5 index card with formulas written as an aid on the quiz.

Today’s lesson begins by reviewing the homework found on page 563-565 (#1-7 odd, 21, 23, 39-49 all, 53, 55, 61, 65, 67, 69, 71, 75-81 odd, 91, 97, 101 and 105).  Once the homework was reviewed, students worked on a practice worksheet to review the key topics discussed in the previous podcast.  Students then took homework quiz #5.  The lesson ends with a in-depth look at arithmetic sequences and finite series.  The homework for tonight is page 573-574 (# 1-25 odd, 35-41 odd, 53-67 odd, 77-79 odd).

Today’s lesson started chapter 8, Sequences and Series.  The lesson contained three parts:  Sequences,

Factorials, Summation/Sigma Notation.  The homework for the evening is page 563-565 (1-7 odd, 21, 23, 39-49 all, 53, 55, 61, 65, 67, 69, 71, 75-81 odd, 91, 97, 101, 105).  There will be a homework quiz next class after review and practice.

Today's lesson begins with a review of the homework from page 372-373 1,3,6 (a only), 7-21 odd, 47, 55, 33-39 odd, 51, 58.  The middle of class was spent completing an in-class practice on the Sum and Difference Identities in groups.  The last part of the class was applying the Sum and Difference identities to two problems listed on the overhead.  

Sum and Difference Identities

Review includes going over the homework found on page 364-365 #1-45 odd as well as practice worksheet 7.5 on solving Trig. Equations.  The review/help did not exceed 30 minutes and the large quiz 1 hour.

Trig. Identities Multiple Angles Extraneous Roots 2-21-07

The review included problems from the homework found on page 353, #1-9 odd, 23-28 all, 35-38 all,  in the text.  The quiz took half of the period following the review.

This is the second class covering Trig Identities for Mrs. Branche's Math Analysis classes.
