Reminders...

There's a lot going on in BC during the next few days, so I thought I would summarize:

  • Complete 2.1 homework from last Monday if you need to catch-up
    • be sure to use the limit on p. 149 to find the slope or velocity 
    • we did 2.1 #49 on Tuesday in section 2.2 on slide 10
  • Complete 2.2 homework from last Tuesday if you need to catch-up
    • be sure to use the limit definition of a derivative (not the power rule from section 2.3)
  • Prepare your group solutions from 2.1 or 2.2 to share on Tuesday, September 18
    • we will also discuss the last few slides from section 2.2
  • Work on 2.3 homework
    • you'll need to rewrite many of these problems before differentiating using the power rule ... for example
      • #5 - move the x up to the numerator and express with a negative exponent
      • #11 - express the root in exponential form
      • #13 - distribute the x first
      • #15 - divide each term by 2x first
  • Watch the 2.4 video lecture before class on Wednesday, September 19
    • http://bit.ly/pGQshy (~40 minutes)
    • start the 2.4 homework
  • A short quiz on sections 2.1 and 2.2 is tentatively planned for Thursday, September 20
    • details will be provided later
  • Complete Test #1 corrections by the end of lunch Thursday, September 20
    • please stop by during lunch Tuesday, Wednesday, and/or Thursday for help
    • at least one visit required if test score is less than 80 with the curve
