Class for June 4th

Hi all - whew! It's been a long term, hasn't it? Keep the math energy up for one more week.

Today we talked about solving equations involving logs, and graphing parabolas using the intercepts and the vertex. In other words, we finished chapter 11 and looked at a tiny bit of section 10.4.

Keep in mind as you read section 10.4 that the book does a different kind of thing than we do on graphing parabolas. Look at objectinves 10.6 and 10.7 on using the vertex formula, and don't worry about anything involving completing the square, or transformations.

I've posted a link to the activity on graphing parabolas, and I'll post a link to an activity on logs tonight or tomorrow. Tuesday night I'll post links to the keys for both of these, too.

Next week I'll take homework questions and review anything you like from 9am - 10am. Bring your questions! At 10am I'll give the final exam, and then we'll be done, and can breathe clear and easy until our next math class.

For some homework problems:

10.4: 55-73 odd, and 85-93 odd

Chapter 11 test (pages 1079-1080): 1 - 45 all

Good luck, and see you next week!

-Dave
