No assignment but we will continue to work with these numbers after the quiz tomorrow on factoring. Please see me in the morning before class if you have last minute questions. Oct.8 Wednesday Assign: Work today on the TInspire calculators with CAS . Continue with questions from the review exercise or practice test. Check later for a list of factoring types for the quiz on Friday.( Posted at 5: 30 ) Oct.7 Tuesday Assign: Pg. 140 #1,4,5 Remember Oct.6 Monday Assign: The Factor Theorem Part II Pg., 102-103 #5,7,8,11-15, 17 Oct.3 Friday Assign: The Factor theorem ( Part 1) factor (x-b) Pg. 102-103 #2-4, 6,9,10 Oct. 2 Thursday Assign; The remainder theorem Pg. 91-93 #3,5-10,11a,b,12 Oct1 Wednesday Assign; Long division of polynomials Handout assigned. Make sure that the division is solid. We need it for the upcoming assignments. Sept. 30 Tuesday Assign: Review of factoring types Pg. 82,83 #3-9 plus the factoring sheet ( posted) Sept. 29 Monday Assign: Test today on unit one . Work on the factoring sheet for tomorrow. Sept.26 Friday Assign: Most students were absent at the university fair. Those who were present did some work on factoring familiar from grade 11. We will be moving to new factoring methods this term and this work should be solid. Factoring sheet is posted to folder. Sept.25 Thursday Assign: A short class today because of early dismissal. Students received review on topics from yesterday. Continue to work on the review and practice test for chapter one. Bring difficulties tomorrow. Reminder - Test is Monday I will post a factoring sheet for students who miss tomorrow's class. Two sheets scanned in ( 10.20 pm sorry this is late) Sept. 24 Wednesday Assign: Review exercise Chapter 1 Compile review sheets for this unit and bring questions to class so that we can target difficulties before Monday Sept. 23 Tuesday Assign: Instantaneous rate of change / slope of the tangent - section 1.6 Sept.22 Monday Assign Pg. 62-64 #1-5,7,10,12 Average rate of change and the slope of a secant. Sept.19 Friday Assign: Pg.49-52 #1-8, 9 ( do parts 8b,8c),#12 Please watch for the language " for functions with even degree" Sept.18 Thursday Assign: Family of polynomial functions Pg. 119-121 #1-3,5,6a,b,7-12,16 Quiz tomorrow on polynomial functions- connecting the language, graph and equation. sept.17 Wednesday Assign: Pg. 39-41 ##b, 4,5,7-9, #11a. There will be a quiz on Friday This is to check that you understand basic features of a graph by examining the defining equation for the function. Sept.16 Tuesday Assign: Pg. 39-41 #1,2,3a,c, 6. We did not do one like #6 but try it and see how far you can get. Sept. 15 Monday Assign: Students received back tests with discussion ( some practice questions will be prepared for weak areas. We began the investigation on page 30 where we now examine the equation of the polynomial function given in factored form. Solutions posted 6:00 pm Sept. 12 Friday Assign: Pg.26 -29 #1-8,12,13a-d . Summarize the key ideas. We will be returning to these graphs and analyzing them algebraically. Sept. 11 Thursday Assign; Test today . We will continue with examination of the polynomial functions tomorrow. Sept 10 Wednesday Assign: Students worked with graphing calculators to investigate properties of polynomial functions. Reminder- Test tomorrow- Have ruler and calculator with you. Sept 9 Tuesday Assign: Power Functions - Characteristics- domain, range, intercepts, end behaviour, interval notation Pg.11-14 31-5,7,10,11, 16ab, 17 ab ( Leave questions on symmetry for tomorrow) Test on Thursday- we will itemize topics for the first test which will cover the review of concepts. Sept.8 Monday Assign: Students received handouts on the transformations to reinforce the language of transformations. Students also received the new text for the course (YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!) We will begin using this shortly. There will be a test on the review ideas probably Thursday of this week. Check in the handout folder later tonight for solutions to the handout on transformations. Solutions have been posted in the handout folder at 7:45 pm. Sept 5 Friday Assign: Students are to complete an assignment on the 8 basic functions stating the various features that we have discussed.Note that not all functions will exhibit all the features Sept. 4 Thursday Assign: A short class today because of the assembly. Students received a handout and we will finish the features of functions tomorrow. Complete as many of the questions as you can. Sept.3 Wednesday Assign: Students received an assignment covering topics from previous courses. This is not due tomorrow, but continue to work on it as time permits. Today's lesson reviewed concepts of domain and range of a function. We will continue with these concepts again tomorrow. Sept.2 Tuesday Assign: Students completed an information sheet and received two review sheets on functions concepts. For tomorrow, have a binder, paper, pencil, calculator, etc. Hi, I hope that everyone is enjoying the time off For the first day of school , would you please bring: a pen or pencil three ring paper I will provide you with a more extensive list after we meet Have a safe and enjoyable last long weekend of summer ! ! ! ! ! I am looking forward to meeting all of you. Mrs. Marcuson**
