Tuesday/Wednesday HW = STUDY!

Juniors--good luck tomorrow! Get a good night's sleep tonight! Rest up and come in ready to put forth your best effort tomorrow!

Seniors--enjoy your day off or your community service!

Everyone: your homework tonight/tomorrow is to study! BE PROACTIVE IN YOUR LEARNING! Your quizzes, tests, etc. are not going to ace themselves--you have to put in the work to do so!

Thursday: We will start class with a quiz on 4.6--here's what's on the quiz...
  • 2 or 3 or all 4 of the tangent/cotangent/secant/cosecant graphs (graph the function)
  • Some critical thinking questions like those below:
  • Feel free to try these on your own and then send me your answers through Remind or Email and I can check them! 

  • If you want to see more examples check out section 4.6 (page 298 - 301) in your textbook
  • Ultimately, be sure you know how to:
    • Graph each function
    • Find vertical asymptotes for these functions
    • Find x-intercepts for these functions

Friday: We will start class with a unit circle quiz!
  • You will have 15 minutes to completely fill out a unit circle
    • Label all angle measures in radians
    • Label all coordinate pairs
  • You have to know this stuff!
    • Section 4.7 is going to involve two new graphs, and then the rest of the section will be entirely based on your knowledge of the unit circle!
    • We'll also see the unit circle again in chapter 5!
    • Watch some videos, review your old notes, do whatever you have to do--BE PROACTIVE IN LEARNING YOUR UNIT CIRCLE! No excuses!

April Vacation: We will have a take home test over April break that reviews the following...
  • Graphing sine and cosine with changes to amplitude, period, vertical shifts, and phase (horizontal) shifts (review)
  • Graphing tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant
  • Evaluating trig functions on the unit circle
  • Working backwards with the unit circle...
    • For example, "If the sin(x) = 1/2, what two angle measures could x have been?"
