HW #33: Derivative Review
Note: We will start this assignment in class and finish it at home.
PART 1: Complete #2, 4, 6, 8, 10 on the "Definition of the Derivative" sheet.
For #2 and #4
a.) Find the derivative using the definition of the derivative (check your work with the power rule/chain rule (if needed).
b.) Graph f(x) and dy/dx in two colors. Label each line.
c.) Find f ‘(4). i.e. the slope of f(x) at x = 4
Part 2: Use the power rule to complete #1-12 on this sheet (Power, Constant, Sum Rule)

CLASSROOM SURVEY!
Your feedback is really valuable to me! Could you please take 10 minutes to do your class survey this weekend for my class. This feedback is how I can find out what is working well and what needs improvement. Myself, Ms. Phipps, and Dr. Center carefully look at these. Just as I evaluate you as students, I would love for you to evaluate me as a teacher.
I completely forgot to give you class time to do this. Surveys close on Sunday so please take time this weekend to complete these.
Thanks so much and have a great weekend!

REVIEW FOR THE CHAPTER 6 TEST:While I will not CHECK this HW, these are the problems that I would suggest doing to review for the Chapter 6 Test on Friday. Again you certainly don’t need to do them all but I would do enough so you feel comfortable. We will review on Thursday. Make sure to practice the Law of Cosines (6.6 as I didn't assign a specific HW from that section). I will check just HW #13 on Friday.

Just a reminder that your conic sections test will be moved to Tuesday (Feb 18th) because of Thursday's snow storm. Hope you are enjoying the 5 day weekend!
Need additional problems to practice. Check out 11.1-11.4 of your textbook (on conic sections).
Also, the AMC math test, which all of period 1 and period 2 is signed up for and taking is on Wednesday, February 19th. So it will be quite a hectic week. Period 3, you will take the test as well if you chose to sign up for it.

SNOW DAY READING!! Renewable Energy with the sun.
Check this out! The world's largest solar plant started making electricity today in California using a principle very similar to the one we used in my demonstration on Wednesday. It's not a parabola, but it does beg the question why they didn't just use a large parabolic mirror in the first place… Perhaps it's lower impact and more efficient since they can adjust the mirrors with computers.

Keep working on the Conic Sections Problem Set (handed out in class - link below). Spend about 20-30 minutes this weekend working through it as you check solutions. Monday's class will be a working day where you will have the full period to work through this problem set (make sure to bring the problem set with you to class). The test on Conic Sections will be Thursday, February 13th (which is when the problem set and your other homework will be collected).

The following is the Homework that will be due the day of the test (Thursday Feb 13th). It is worth 4 homework grades (40 points). The solutions are posted as well. Make sure to always look at solutions before asking questions in class. Monday will be a day where we will spend the period working on this problem set. Do a portion each night. I would suggest doing the section on HYPERBOLAS tonight (as we just learned about them). Note that #3 (on comets is tricky, though see my solutions - the key is that the central box must be a square!!

Or you can keep using your homework journal if you prefer (it's up to you).
You only need to correct the portion of the problem that you got a wrong if it is a long problem. If it is a shorter problem (4 or 5 points) simply redo the problem.
Complete exam corrections for any problem that you got 2 OR MORE points taken off of. Complete these in your homework journal or on a separate sheet of paper.

MIDTERM PREP MATERIALS:
All midterm prep materials are available online under the Honors Precalculus Tab titled "Midterm Review". There are really good resources there!
Each night, I will suggest a few problems to do to review so that you are well underway in your prep before the weekend comes.
For tonight, here are the problems that I would suggest doing:
MIDTERM 2013 (the one we worked on in class today).
1(b, d, f or whatever your haven't done yet), 2, 5, 6
OPTIONAL: 9 and 10 (if you have time)
We will be discussing some of these in class tomorrow. Remember that the solutions are online. Come with any questions.

In addition, be sure to watch the video that I have posted online below where I have taught tomorrow's lesson. Take notes on the lesson just as you would in class. I also posted the pdf file of the lesson, so that you can follow along. The examples are directly from the book. That way Tuesday's class will be a work day where you practice what you learned in the lesson (i.e. a "flipped" classroom). Therefore, you won't have any homework on Tuesday night (think of this as a double dose of HW for tonight but if this works well, some nights the video and note taking would be your only "homework" (hence the name flipped classroom).
Here's my first stab at an iPad video lesson. It's a little rough on the edges, but I really like the technology. I might post a better video later tonight if I find a better platform. I am teaching the lesson from section 4.4 so feel free to follow along in your book or my powerpoint which match up exactly. See below.

HW #21: RATIONAL FUNCTIONS
Read section 3.7 (up to slant and parabolic asymptotes).
Section 3.7 #21, 22, 26, 41, 47, 57, 59
Optional Challenge Problem: Try out # 64
Don't like your textbook's explanations? Take a look at the notes that I posted below from Dr. Cruzan (if you want some extra help with rational functions or polynomial functions). Use these as a reference and your textbook when going through rational functions.

NO HOMEWORK UNTIL MONDAY! ENJOY THE MB EXPO WEEKEND!!
We will be doing an activity on the track tomorrow (Thursday). If you want to determine your running speed, bring some running shoes... (not required of course, but we will need some volunteers.)
There is no HW but if you want practice with polynomial regressions, here are some good problems to do (again this is NOT required).
Page 299 #2, 3, and 4
BONUS! (1 point)
Another thing to do is to practice making a polynomial regression using the split times from Usain Bolt's record breaking 100m. I posted the worksheet to use and the data from Usain Bolt's record breaking sprint. I will give you 1 BONUS POINT on your last quiz if you fill out the worksheet below for Usain Bolt's regression and use the derivative to calculate Usain Bolt's max speed in MPH for his record breaking run. (This of course is optional, but will get you 1 bonus point on your last quiz if you bring it in on Monday. The whole worksheet must be complete for the point).

Note: SKIP PROBLEM #4 - it has 2 imaginary solutions which we have not covered.
Quiz on Tuesday on sections 3.1-3.4! Use the review packet to help you study.
I will be collecting your HW journal and checking HW #12-18 as well. Be sure to have this ready when you come into class to start your quiz.
REVIEW PACKET
Solutions to Review Packet (3 errors on the solutions... #11 and #12 both open up. The vertex on #12 should be (-4, -16) as I forgot to subtract 16 as well as add it to the right side. Finally, the answer on #5 should be 3 plus the remainder (not 3x!). Sorry about the mistakes everyone!!
