Happy Holidays!

It's finally winter break! We definitely deserve it. Hopefully you all got an A on the test we finished today!

Please be sure to complete the review packet this week. This will be counted as a grade! Do your best, and circle any problems you don't understand--this will give us a starting point for a little bit of review when we're back.

When you're not working on PreCalc, rest up, relax, and enjoy your time off. Spend time with friends and family.

Thank you all for your hard work thus far. I'm loving teaching PreCalc, and a big part of that is all of you. So thanks :)

As always, feel free to email with any questions. See you all on Thursday, 1/3! (For some matrices and systems of equations!)

Study again!

Tomorrow you will have 15 minutes to complete your test....so it's probably a good idea to take a look at your notes and review anything you weren't sure about today.

**A tip about the "hole" or point of discontinuity question....after you find what "cancels" and determine the x-coordinate of the hole, you have to use the simplified form of the rational equation to substitute and find the y-value. **

After we finish our test you'll have some time to start your review packet (that will be completed over break). See you all tomorrow!

Test Tomorrow!

Study, study, study!

Hopefully the chaos that was "Bingo" today helped you out a little. Feel free to email me and I can send back an attachment with the questions and answers so you can study.

Remember, tomorrow's test includes complex numbers, real and imaginary zeros, and rational functions. Good luck!

Half Snow Day!!!

PreCalc peeps...bingo tomorrow....

Tonight, please complete two webs using the following functions:

I will randomly generate a number to choose one of the two webs to grade. So get an A on both!

Good luck! See you all for some rational function bingo tomorrow!

Monday's HW....

Good work today!

Tonight, please graph the 5 functions we used for our matching. (Hopefully you recorded your matching answers to save some time on your homework!).

If you weren't here or were absent, here are the functions...

Also, if you were out, you need to create a table with the following info for each of the functions above (this was Monday's classwork...)

• List each function (in order), then provide the information required using the table structure/headings below.

Function:          Vertical Asymptotes:          Horizontal Asymptotes:          Zeros:          Y-Intercepts:

Play in the Snow!

I bet you can top this kid's snowman...

This weekend, complete two webs. Use the functions below: On Monday I'll provide some answer keys so that we can check our work...t

Functions for Webs:

And in case you lost your webs, here's what you need to provide for each function (make your own web!):

• Y-Intercept
• X-Intercept(s)
• Horizontal Asymptote
• Vertical Asymptote(s)
• Domain
• Range
• "Additional Points"--table of values from your calculator
• Sketch of the function

Enjoy your weekend ya'll. See you lunes.

Thursday!

Here's tonight's homework....

Page 148: 7-12, 31, 33 (Remember, to find the zeros of a rational function we set the numerator equal to 0 and solve for x).

Period D: You also need to finish the web we started in class. Good luck!

Tomorrow we'll get back to rational functions and fill out some webs! Woooo!
