STUDDDDDDYYYYYYYYY

Tomorrow starts a HUGE two day span....two days of PreCalc tests! Woooo!

This is all based on unit 1, sections 1.1 to 1.6.

Tomorrow's test is "graphing calculator allowed." Here's a breakdown of the test (tomorrow):
  • 9 Multiple choice
    • Study the pre-test I gave you today! Tomorrow's questions are the same types with different numbers!
    • Here are the answers to the pre-test in case you're studying at home (and want to make sure you're correct):
    • 1.) A
    • 2.) B
    • 3.) D
    • 4.) D
    • 5.) B
    • 6.) C
    • 7.) A
    • 8.) B (SKIP; THIS IS NOT ON THE TEST)
    • 9.) D
    • 10.) C
  • Open-Ended
    • Determine if lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither, given points
      • Find the slope for each line
      • Same slope = parallel, "opposite reciprocal" slopes = perpendicular, otherwise they're "neither"
    • Use the calculator to find any relative maxima/minima
    • State the domain and range given a graph (no need for the calculator)
    • Find x-intercepts of a function (zeros) using the graphing calculator
    • Extra Credit:
      • Factor to simplify an expression
      • Add/subtract/multiply/divide fractions (and know order of operations)
Use your old quizzes to study! They'll have examples of all of these types of questions (except for the extra credit).

I'm looking forward to lots of A's! Study and be ready!
