Last Day of September!

Can you believe it's almost October already?

Tonight, please complete the Type 2 provided in class regarding shifting/reflecting graphs. You must complete questions 1-5. Number 6 (a through d) will NOT be graded--so don't worry about it. Just finish 1-5!

Tomorrow we'll recap and get ready for some Algebra aerobics.

Enjoy your afternoon!

Friiiiiiiday!

First off, enjoy your weekend! Hopefully the GMen can get their first win on Sunday. (Probably not :( )

This weekend please complete the worksheet with 8 questions based on the graph of a piecewise function. You all grabbed this after you finished your test--many of you also completed this after your test, and thus don't have any homework. Unless...

Period A: Please also complete page 48, 27 - 32. This WILL be checked Monday. It is of the utmost importance that you all stay quiet while we have a test, even if many of you are done. It's only fair that we provide the same quiet environment we had to our classmates. Give them the same respect we gave you.

See you all Monday for the start to our next section!

Test Tomorrow!

Tonight, just STUDY! STUDY! STUDY!

Get an A!

Make sure you know the following:

• Finding slope (including 0, undefined)
• Finding the slope and y-intercept of an equation in standard form (solve for y!)
• Write the equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to ____ and through ____
• Find an equation that represents a function
• Recognize if ordered pairs/table/mapping represent a function
• Evaluating functions (ex: f(3) or g(x+1)
• Domain and range (especially with square roots and fractions)
• Increasing, Decreasing, Constant (use x values to write intervals)
• Vertical Line Test
• Even and Odd functions (know how they're symmetric)
• Relative Minima/Maxima on the graphing calculator

Good luck!

Wednesday HW

1/2 day tomorrow...we'll be getting ready for the post-test that we'll take on Friday!

Tonight, please complete the following regarding even and odd functions:

p. 39: 49,51,53,54,57,61,62,63,65,67,68

Enjoy! See you all tomorrow morning!

Tuesday HW

Tonight, please complete the 12 problems regarding even and odd functions (6 graphically, 6 algebraically)  that I provided to you in class.

Good luck!

STAR assessment tomorrow!

Back to Work!

We finally started learning something totally new! Even and odd functions! Get pumped up like I am!

Tonight, please complete the 10 multiple choice questions provided in class. These will be collected and graded, so make sure you get them done!

Also, remember that we have a TEST coming up this FRIDAY. I won't be around to study after school Wednesday (meeting) or Thursday (1/2 day), so make sure you focus in class! Start studying now so you can ask any questions that arise as the week progresses!

PreCalc HW...(that includes you, juniors who were at the assembly today...)

Alright...here's some weekend homework...a little more practice with piecewise functions, finding maxima/minima on the calculator, some evaluating functions....and more....

Please complete p. 39: 1-4; 29-34; 41, 45; 105, 107

On Monday we'll get into some even/odd functions (new stuff)! I hope you're excited--I know I am!

As always, email with any questions!

Back to School Night!

It's back to school night! Woop! Hopefully I'll meet some of your parents, guardians, siblings, etc. tonight!
Tonight, please complete the piecewise worksheet provided in class (we already did the front!) Remember, I'm collecting and grading it, so take your time!

Also, explore those links on the right I showed you in class. There a great place to start if you need help! There're tons of awesome resources! I'll be adding more as I find them!

And tomorrow's Friday! One more day of hard work!

Second Blog Post! (Wednesday HW)

It's hump dayyy!

Tonight, please complete the "finding domain algebraically" worksheet provided in class. You can use the table we created in class to help! You only have to find the domain. Don't worry about the range for the homework tonight (we would just look at the graph on our calculator to discuss the range). Good luck!

Tomorrow we'll talk a little bit more about piecewise functions; then, we'll discuss relative minima and maxima.

Then, on Friday, we'll explore even and odd functions to finish up section 1.3!

First Blog Post!

It's the first ever PreCalc blog post!

Check the list on the right for the topics on tomorrow's quiz!
Tonight, you have to create three examples for types of functions: one example for one-to-one, one for one-to-many, and one example for many-to-one. The definitions of these are provided on your powerpoint slides--read them and do your best to create your own example of each type of function. Then, google it! Check your answer!

In case you forgot your powerpoint slides (or lost them), here you go...

•A function is one-to-one  if…

▫For each x-value there is exactly one y-value

▫For each y-value there is exactly one x-value

▫Horizontal Line Test!

•A function is one-to-many if…

▫For some inputs there are multiple outputs

•A function is many-to-one if…

▫Some output is associated with multiple different inputs

▫Multiple inputs give the same output
