Class Scribe: Dorian

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

The class on Monday, October 30, dealt with the review of many different things.  This includes:
Chain Rule:

We went over the graded homework, and Mrs. Evrard gave us help for numbers 11 and 12.
For #11:
x = f(t)
y = f(t)
For #12:

We also went over aspects of Simusoidal and the new topic of Anti-derivatives.
Simusoidal:

Amplitude = Absolute value of [...]

Reflection on the class labs

Sunday, October 29th, 2006

I have just completed the labs on instantaneous rate of change and tangents.  I didn’t really learn much from the instantaneous rate of change lab, but it the work on the lab made it clear that the derivative of a point found by the secant line is much more accurate if c is small.  (Given [...]

10/16/06 Class Notes

Friday, October 20th, 2006

Yes, I know, this is late but I had problems with formatting and the synthetic division thing. So anyways, here are the 10/16/06 class notes:
A. Took a quiz on limits
B. Went over the 3-3 homework
-There is no derivative at a cusp because the tangent line is straight up which has no slope
C. Exploration 3-4 – [...]

(Late) Lab Reflection

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

The first exploration dealt with the tangent line. It illustrated instantaneous rate as the tangent line of that point, showing clearly that at one point or another, the instantaneous rate is the tangent line. Not only is this concept true, but it’s helpful to look at and adds to understanding.
The second lab had a simpler [...]
