  Grading Policy

Tests and quizzes will be announced in class along with the point value of each in accordance with the progress made in
class.  Frequently the class will vote on options for testing  presented.  On the day of the decision the date, material covered and point value of the test or quiz  will be posted.  The test or quiz will be graded and returned the next class day.   The tests will reflect the homework assignment and the work presented in class and will not be curved.  In addition to the tests and quizzes given, points will be given and taken for homework, presentations and contributions made during class.  At the end of the quarter the sum of the points earned during class, be that a positive or negative number will be added to the sum of the test / quiz scores.  This number will then be divided by the total number of points possible on the test / quizzes.  The letter grades for the report card will be determined by the grading system of Salesianum School which can be in the student hanbook.

There will be a final project which will involve math learned throughout his entire education.  A weeks worth of in class activity will be devoted to it.  In addition to the project there will be a final exam.  As of the beginning of the semester every student in the class will be exempt from the final.  A student will lose that exemption by any of the following choices he makes: 

1.  Being rude in class to either the teacher or fellow classmates

2.  Sleeping in class often

3.  Not doing the work on the project during the class time provided

Law of Cosines

 

When asked to graph "over 2p", the Xmax will be 2p and you will see and graph b waves.

When asked to graph "over 2 or 3 cycles", the Xmax will be the number of cycles time the period, 2p/b and you will see and graph the . number of waves.

 

Working with sinusoidal functions in both degrees and radians.

y = a sin(bx + c) + d

 

Working with sinusoidal functions with phase shift now included

 

Phase Shift = -c/b

The Xmin will now be the phase shift and the Xmax will be:

 Xmin + 360   for over 360

Xmin + 2p  for over 2p

Xmin + n times the period for over n cycles

    Introduction to angles in Trigonometry

Any real number can be represented as an angle.  Be able to draw any angle and find 2 angles coterminal to it, one positive, one negative whose measure is between -360 and 360.

 

The instructions fro problems 69 - 74 were given in class.  Draw the angle. Find the 6 trig functions and the angle.

sine  = y/r  cosine   = x/r   tangent   =  y/x

cosecant   = r/y   secant   = r/x   cotangent   = x/y

To get r:  use  x2+ y2 = r2

To get the reference angle:

1.  Check the mode.  It should be in degrees

 2.  press 2nd and then your choice of sin, cos, or tan. 

3. Then enter the positive of the y/r, x/r, or y/x

To get the angle:

1. In the first quadrant, do nothing the reference angle is the angle

2.  In the second quadrant, subtract the reference angle from 180.

3. In the 3rd quadrant, add 180 to the reference angle.

4. In the 4th quadrant, subtract the reference angle from 360.

The only Pythagorean Triples I will use are:

3-4-5,  5-12-13,  8-15-17,  and 7-24-25

 

Find the quadrant:  I  II  III  or IV

 

 

The largest number in each triple is the hypotenuse, r, and will always be positive.  The other two numbers are either x or y and they can be either positive or negative depending on which quadrant the angle is in.

sin(A + B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB

sin(A - B) = sinAcosB - cosAsinB

cos(A + B) = cosAcosB - sinAsinB

cos(A - B) = cosAcosB + sinAsinB

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quiz will cover drawing and labeling right triangles and the

application problems demonstrated in class.

Remember: one of the sides of an angle of elevation

or depression is horizontal

Find all of the other 5 trig functions after finding the reference angle, then finding and storing the actual angle

Reciprocal Functions Practice

Drawing and solving right triangles.

Angles of depression and elevation 

Surveying problems - the height of a tree on a hill

Applications: the runway problem - p. 83 #26

 approaching the mountain - p. 83 #23 - 25

Quiz on applications of right triangle trigonometry

 

 

The circle chart of # 75 is very important to future work

 

 

There will be a quiz on the "special triangles"

and their relation to trigonometry. The directions will read,

"Draw the angle and the reference triangle.  Find the 6 trig

ratios of the the angle in simplest fraction radical form."

Find all 6 trig functions of the special angles in simpl,est radical form

From a point on the terminal side draw to

the x axis NOT to the y axis.

Show all units in numerators and denominators.

Degrees to radians x p/108

Radians to degrees x 180/  p

Arc length = radius x angle  (in radians)

Linear velocity = angular velocity x radius

Just get them into the right units and multiply.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Sinusoidal Equations

y=a sin (bx) +d or   y=a cos (bx) +d

|a| = amplitude, d = middle,

d + |a| = top,

d - |a| = bottom

b = frequency,  the number of complete waves in 360 degrees

360/b = period, the length of each complete wave

When asked for one cycle of the function this is your Xmax.

When asked to graph "over 360", the Xmax will be 360 and you will see and graph b waves.

Homework for weekend 4/4 - 4/6

1.)   y = 5sin (3x) - 2   over 360 degrees, in degrees, find 2nd root

2.)    y = -100cos (45x) + 25  over one cycle, in degrees, find last root

3.)   y = .2 cos (2x) - .05 over 360 degrees, in degrees, find 3rd root

4.)   y = -3000sin (.06x) +900  over one cycle, in degrees, find 1st root

Don't worry about the phase shift (horizontal shift).  I'll teach that later.

You can copy and print this if you run out of papers that I gave you in class.

Xmin = _____                           Equation______________   in ____    over _____

                                                __________________________________

 

 

 

 

Everything is the same as for degrees except that to find the period divide 2p by the frequency instead of 360.

Also make sure you put the calculator in radian mode before you hit graph.
