The Day Before The Exam

Today I am not in class because I have inherited to duty of taking care of the house while my parents are away today. However, I am going to use my time wisely today by briefly reviewing all units except for perms and combs and probability which I'll dedicate more time to. I have found great use in the Math40S sight's practice exams for reviewing problem areas.

More exam prep

Today we just steered our own course for studying for the exam by working on our individual areas. After today, I feel more confident in my ability to do logarithms and exact value of identities.

Pilot exam

Today we discussed the pilot exam. I thought it was a litle hard in comparison to previous exams. A couple things I need to study a little more are logarithms, transformations and a bit on circular functions. What I need to studay a lot more is probability and perms and coms.

No Title

Today is the day before our pilot exam. I am not going to loose any sleep over the exam because, with help from practice exams, I think I know most of the material that I need to learn, except for those probaility questions.

Accelerated Math

Today I finished my accelerated math......go me.

Geometric sequences

A couple of days ago we finished geometric sequences. If I was keeping up in my blog posts than I would tell you that I was still having trouble with it. However, with the aid of accelerated math, I am finding it rather easy.

Work Period

Seeing as we can finish Geometric sequences in one day, we are having a work period today.

Geometric sequences

Yesterday we started our unit of Geometric sequences. To me, this is the most difficult unit, but that's probably because it's new and I'll get better as I proceed. Also, I think I'm getting ahead of myself in accelerated math, so that might contribute.

Probability

Today we learned Independent v.s Dependant events and Mutually Exclusive v.s Mutually Inclusive Events. This is review for me since I have already done this on Accelerated Math. This might not be as easy for some because common sense is becoming less common.

Sample Space

Yesterday we reviewed sample space. I mean review in that it was nothing new for me, so the recording not recording is not a big deal.

Conics-Parabolas

Today we did our parabola section in conics. This is pretty easy seeing as it is review, and as far as sideways parabolas, they're not much harder considering that the same rules apply.

Graphing Hyperbolas

Today we learned how to graph hyperbolas using standard form as well as how to find the asymptotes of an equation. This is similar to yesterday, except sketching these equations onto a graph.

More and More Conics

Today we learned how to graph Ellipses and Hyperbolas. It is rather easy considering we just have to follow a few simple guideines.

Even More Conics

Today we learned how to do the exact opposite of what we learned on Friday. THis is converting to standard form from generalized form which is even easier than the opposite. We were also asked to look up the terms major and minor axis, and vertex.

Work Period

Since Mr. Max's Sympodium(tm) isn't working, we get a work period. Also, helping Grade 11 applied students was fun so if i'm still in school next year, I might tutor a Grade 12 PreCalc class.

More Conics

Today we learned more about conics which included coverting general form conics into standard form conics. It's pretty easy.

Conics

Today we started our unit on conics. There are four types of conics: circle, ellipse, hyperbola, parabola. Identifying conics by graphs ad equations is pretty easy as well as finding out the values for: A,C,D,E,F, but not B yet.

Pascal's Triangle

Also with binomial theorem, we learned the basics of Pascal's triangle. This is how we get the formula for binomial theorem. I think it is pretty neat.
