Today we went over evaluating expressions involving an absolute value symbol.
Assignment: p. 6 #1-3
1.2-1.3 Radicals
We started looking at radicals by reviewing exponent laws from last year. As well, we discussed restrictions on roots.
1.1 Absolute Value
Today we went over evaluating expressions involving an absolute value symbol. Assignment: p. 6 #1-3 1.2-1.3 Radicals We started looking at radicals by reviewing exponent laws from last year. As well, we discussed restrictions on roots. Today students received the course outline. We talked about classroom expectations and went to the library to sign out textbooks. Students worked on the University of Waterloo contest from 2010 as a practice for showing their work on word problems.
Final Exam Review
Students were given a Final Exam Summary sheet. We discussed the topics that will be on the Final Exam Tue. Jan. 24 and went over example questions. Students wrote the Sequences and Series Test today. Final Exam is on Tuesday January 24th from 9-11am.
8.6 Sequences and Series Review
Students worked on questions from the review section in preparation for the chapter 8 test tomorrow. The final exam is Tue. Jan. 24th from 9-11 am. 8.4/8.5 Geometric Series
Today we did examples of calculations involving geometric series, which are the sum of geometric sequences. A formula was developed and used to make the calculations quicker. A distinction was made between finite and infinite series. The restriction of the absolute value of r being less than 1 for an infinite geometric series was also discussed. Assignment: p. 364 #1ai, 2ad, 3ag, 4ad, 5, 7, 11, 14, 16 p. 371 #1ae, 2ag, 3aei, 4ad, 5ad, 7, 9, 11, 15, 19 8.3 Geometric Sequences
Today we looked at sequences whose terms are found by multiplying the previous term by a constant. These are called geometric sequences and the constant is called the common ratio. Assignment: p. 358 #1ai, 2ai, 3ac, 4aek, 9, 15, 16, 17 8.2 Arithmetic Series
Today we did examples of determining the sum of an arithmetic series. A formula was developed to make the answer quicker to find. Assignment: p. 352 #1agk, 2aei, 3af, 4ad, 7, 11 8.1 Arithmetic Sequences
We introduced the concept of sequences and the terminology associated with it - term, recursive definition, sigma notation, common difference. We mainly focused on arithmetic sequences in which we add the same number to the preceding term each time. Assignment: p. 345 #2af, 3acd, 4c, 5af, 6ac, 7ae, 8af, 9ae, 11ae, 14, 16 |
