HW = Take Home Quiz!

This weekend, please complete the classwork we started today in class. Remember you can skip questions 7 and 8. This will be collected and graded on Monday as a 31 point take home quiz! 

YOU WILL LOSE 5 POINTS FOR EVERY DAY THIS IS LATE. NO PAPERS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER WEDNESDAY. NO EXCUSES!


We will have a quiz/test (quest?) on this same stuff on Wednesday! So, if you put in lots of effort on your take home quiz, not only will you get a better grade, but you'll be better prepared for your "quest!"

  • When I'm grading the graphs, I'm looking for 5 pieces (each @ 1 point):
    • Period (so show the work on the side!)
    • X Axis labeled
    • Correct vertical shift (midline)
    • Correct amplitude (show dotted lines for max/min values)
    • Correct shape (pay attention to if it's sine or cosine, and if the graph is reflected)
  • For question 3...
    • First solve for b: you know the period is "3pi," so 2pi/b = 3pi. Then, cross multiply to solve for b!
    • Remember, it tells you this is a cosine graph!
    • This is reflected--how do we show that in the equation?
    • The amplitude is 7--where do we see that in the equation?
    • And lastly, there is a vertical shift "9 down"--how do we see this in the equation?
  • Try questions 7 and 8! You can get up to 4 extra credit points for each!
    • To write these equations (we'll talk about this Monday), FIRST, find the midline
      • Remember, the midline is halfway between the max and min!
      • This gives us our "d"
    • Then, find the period--how long does it take to complete one cycle of the graph?
      • Once we determine the period, set up an equation to solve for b (like the first bullet for question 3 above)
    • Next, consider the amplitude and if the graph is reflected to determine the "a" value
    • Lastly, decide if this is a sine or cosine graph!
    • Write your equation!
    • You got this!
Here are the questions you need to do (in case you lost yours). Use axes like the ones below for each of your 5 graphs.





Feel free to email with questions! Also, check out some videos on youtube for help with graphing! I provided some helpful links below! And most importantly, USE YOUR NOTES!
