Weekend HW!

The homework over the weekend is to finish that worksheet and solve the 2 problems below.

1. sin(2x) =cos(x)sin(2x)
2. csc(x/3) = csc(x)csc(x/3)

If you were not here or need an extra copy it is below:

Thursday HW

Homework is out of the book tonight.

Pg. 364
#...

• 39, 40, 41, 43, 45 (multiple angles trig)
• 81, 85, 87 (Review)

For tonight's homework:

1. Start by setting whatever is inside the parenthesis equal to theta. (Ex: tan(3x), set θ = 3x so you now have tan(θ))
2. Get the trig equation by itself equal to one thing on the other side (finshed product: tan(θ) = 1)
3. Determine what angle (θ) makes this statement true.
4. Go back to that equation in red and substitute the angle you get for θ.
5. Solve for the unknown variable (x or t or A, etc....)

Wednesday HW!

Tonight's homework is out of the book, theres one problem that is verifying if a given angle is a solution, just solve and plug in. The rest solve as you normally would, finding the corresponding angles that make the equation true. If you need any help feel free to send a Remind! message.

Tuesday HW!

The homework tonight is just to finish up that worksheet I handed out during class. (SKIP #2, WE HAVEN'T COVERED THAT YET! If you lost it or were not in class I'll post a picture below. Try and struggle through these and come in with any questions you have.

We might have a little quiz on Friday, depending on how much we get through tomorrow and thursday. It would be on solving these trig equations, using factoring, identities, or algebraic manipulation.

We will definitely have a test on this next Tuesday so start studying over this weekend. Brush up on:

• trig identites
• the unit circle
• trig inverses

Here is the homework though:

Monday HW!

Hey y'all for homework tonight just finish up that worksheet I gave you today during class. I will post a key below, you shouldn't just fill out any missing answers off the key you should try them and then check your answers. This key is for the answers mostly, I put my process in solving them on the paper but that may not come through so clear so be ready tomorrow with questions about this homework. This is very important for moving forward because there's 17 different paths we can go down but it all depends on what you all need the most help with.

Here's the Key:

Last Blog Post!

I hope you're feeling confident about today's test!

This will be your last blog post for a while! I'll update periodically with some baby pics, some updates about when I'm popping in, and maybe some other info, but the blog will not be updated with homework each day anymore--Mr. Mason may start to use Remind for that!

No homework this weekend! But next week we start trig equations which will involve the identities and the unit circle -- so be sure you know your unit circle for Monday! Study this weekend so you can prepare yourself to start strong!

And finally, thank you all for an amazing year. I am so proud of the progress you have all made in PreCalculus! It's been an honor and a privilege to be your teacher! I enjoyed coming to work each day and working with all of you--thank you for that! You are an amazing group of individuals and I have the utmost confidence you will succeed moving forward! Even though I was very tough on you, and sometimes even a jerk, I hope you know that I was only trying to push you to give your best. I believe in each and every one of you as individuals! I appreciate all of the hard work you put in throughout the year! I will definitely miss you guys! Feel free to reach out and email me if you ever need anything--you know where to find me!

End the fourth quarter strong! Work hard with Mr. Mason to get an A and go out on top! I wish you the best of luck for the rest of the quarter and beyond!

TEST TOMORROW!!!!

Tonight...study! There are two things you can do to study: 

1. Be sure you know how to derive the Pythagorean identities! Look over your notes and our quiz from last week!
2. Practice! Look over your homework examples and today's classwork examples/key!
• Here are some problems you can try in your book for more practice:
• Page 345-346: 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 37, 45, 47, 51, 53, 57
• Page 353-354: 1, 3, 5,7, 9, 19, 41, 45, 47
• Some of these practice problems might be the same as the ones on our test! 

Here's a breakdown of tomorrow's test:

1. First you will have to derive the Pythagorean identities in at least 6 forms, referencing all 6 trig functions (same as our quiz)
2. Then you will have 11 identities to verify
3. Then there are 3 true/false questions (like today's classwork)

Let's go out on top with an A on identities! Tomorrow's also my last day, so let's send me out on a high note! Please :)

If you were out today here's the classwork so you can also use this to practice:

And here's the key to the classwork above:
