Today we covered sections 9.5 and 9.6, touched on section 10.1, and then sections 11.3 and 11.4.
Next week is the second exam, over sections 9.1-9.6, 10.1 and 10.2, and 11.1 - 11.4. In the afternoon we'll cover sections 11.5 and 11.6. That's May 28th.
The week after that we'll talk about graphing parabolas (the picture formed by quadratic equations) and solving exponential and log equations. That's June 4th.
The following Saturday is our last - we review for an hour (from 9am - 10am) and then start the final exam at 10. The final will cover mostly graphing parabolas and solving log and exponential equations; we use most of the material from the rest of the term to do those things.
I'll post the practice exam tomorrow - look for it in the evening, or Monday morning. I'll post the key to it Wednesday evening (you'll see it Thursday morning). I'll also have a practice exam and key for the final.
Look at the chapter 9 test on pages 889-890: 2 - 29 and 31 - 41 to start looking at the chapter 9 material. Do the section tests, or the homework from each section for more practice.
We'll need to be able to use the quadratic formula (the first question on next week's exam asks us what the quadratic formula is). Review sections 10.1 and 10.2 (don't worry about completing the square, though).
We'll also look at the first four sections of chapter 11 - combinations and compositions of functions, inverse functions, exponential functions and the number e as the base of exponential functions. Look at the chapter 11 test on pages 1079-1080, problems 1 - 20 to start (and again do more practice where you need to).
Good luck on the exam!
