CHAPTER 10 BIG QUIZ TUESDAY!! 

NO CALC

- GSTK sheet - be able to fill it out

- finding exact values (using GSTK)
     ex: sin 120 - ref < (distance from x-axis) is 60.
         120 is in quad 2 where y (and sin) is positive.
         sin of 60 is rt 3 / 2 (positive)

- finding angles (using exact values)
      ex. tan X = -1
          ref angle is 45 degrees
          tan is negative in quadrants 2 and 4
          ref angle of 45 in quadrant 2 = 135
          ref angle of 45 in quadrant 4 = 315

- graph - be able to graph both sine and cosine (just as it is on the sheet)

CALC

- SOH - CAH - TOA - use to find sides and angles in right triangles
      if you are looking for an angle - use inverse

      if you are looking for an angle - use inverse  (last step)
      use law of cosines when you have SSS or SAS.

- pythag identity
  (cos X)^2 + (sin X)^2 = 1 - know how to use it

finish 10.4 / 10.5 ws - "The Unit Circle - AGAIN" (#1 is sin 90)

reference angle: distance from 0, 180 or 360 (the x-axis).  if the reference angle is the same, then the value will also be the same, but the sign (+/-) can change. think about what is positive in which quadrants. use the GSTK sheet!

if the angle is 0, 90, 180, 270 or 360 you do not need a reference angle - just state the value of x (cos) or y (sin) or y/x (tan).  you should always get 0, +/-1, or UD*

1. print the following worksheet - 612ATchapter7.4

2. do not do the side with Pascal's triangle (bring it to class on thursday though) - only do numbers 6 - 16 - factoring cubes!

notes: factoring cubes

always look for GCF first (as with any factoring)

(x^3 + y^3)

the factored form will be a binomial times a trinomial.

to find the binomial... simply take the cube root of each (x + y)

to find the trinomial... (using the binomial you just found) - square the first term (x^2), then multiply the first term by the second term and use the opposite sign (- xy) and then square the second term (y^2)

the result: (x + y)(x^2 - xy + y^2)

example:

3x^3 - 81
3(x^3 - 27)
3(x - 3)(x^2 + 3x + 9)

complete pages 3 and 4 in the "families of functions" packet.

NOTES:
if the constant is NOT grouped with x (like in #1 on page 3) then y-values are affected. if (like in #1) it is "y = x^2 - 2" then the graph looks exactly like the parabola on page 1, but shifts DOWN 2 units. if it was "y = x^2 + 2" then everything would shift UP two units.

if the constant IS grouped with x (like in #2 on page 3) then x-values are affected. if (like in #2) it is "y = (x - 2)^2" then the graph still looks exactly like the parabola on page 1, but it shifts to the RIGHT two units. if it was "y = (x + 2)^2" then everything would shift to the LEFT two units.

in general, if the equation is written in "y = " form, then x-values are affected in the opposite manner in which the equation shows (- is RIGHT while + is LEFT) and y-values are affected in the same manner in which the equation shows (- is DOWN while + is UP).

2. check 15.1 solutions below.
#s 1 - 6
#s 7 - 14

i just realized a couple of my questions (shaded area) are different. that does not mean that you are wrong - so pay attention to what the question is asking. you SHOULD have a couple different answers.  we will fix it in class on tuesday.

612 - A block - due Wednesday 13.10.16

1. finish 6.14 ws - solution to the first problem posted below.

explanation for the exponents in number 1... it says "find a particular equation... of years that have elapsed past 1970." so, this means that in 1970,  zero years have elapsed... so 1970 is "year zero." if you made the exponent 1970 instead of zero you would not be wrong... but your "a" value would be very small because you'd be finding the population in actual year zero (like biblical times). if 1970 is "year zero", then 1980 (ten years later) is "year 10."we could make year zero anything... if you did the same problem but made 1900 year zero, you would still get the same "b" value, but a different "a" value.  make sense?

anyway... here is the solution.

2. QUIZ NEXT FRIDAY!! 6.2 - 6.6 and 6.14

4. some notes on the BIG quiz tomorrow...
- understand the difference between "finding x when f(x) = 5" and "finding f(5)"

- when completing the square - if there is a coefficient in from of the x^2 term - it must be factored out to get the coefficient to be 1. be careful when adding to the other side!!

- sqrt (-1) = i,   i^2 = -1,   i^3 = -i,   i^4 = 1 - - - divide exponent by 4 - remainders .25 (1), .5 (2) .75 (3)

- given solutions, find quadratic - know the formulas! b/a = -(s1 + s2) and c/a = (s1)(s2)

- find quadratic model!! 2-1, 3-2 to cancel c values. BE CAREFUL WITH SIGNS!! then, it is simply solving a 2 variable system.

- with a word problem involving quadrics... max or min height is the y-value of the vertex, the ground is the x-intercepts, time zero is the y-intercept.

- will  a quadratic ever equal a certain value? discriminant. b^2 - 4ac

- know the vertex formula x = -b/2a and how to get into vertex form (complete the square)

THE BIG QUIZ IS GOING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE THE REVIEW... A WHOLE LOT (INSERT WINKS AND NUDGES HERE). IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR MORE PROBLEMS TO PRACTICE (YOU SHOULD BE) - DO SOME ODD NUMBERS OUT OF THE BOOK AND CHECK YOUR ANSWERS!!

GOOD LUCK.
