Keep working on the 4.6 assignment:

Solution to recent assignment

Here are solutions to pages 5-9 in the 4-4 and 4-5 handout we are currently using:

Please be sure to try all of the free response sample questions on page 11 in the handout before class on Tuesday.  Your groups will be asked to share solutions at the beginning of class and then we will discuss these problems in detail...
Group 1 - 2004 #1a
Group 2 - 2004 #1b
Group 3 - 2004 #1c
Group 4 - 2004 #1d
Group 5 - 2006 #4a
Group 6 - 2006 #4b
Group 7 - 2006 #4c
Group 8 - 2007 #4d

On Wednesday, our class time will be open for general Q&A before the test on Thursday.  The test on Thursday will consists of ~15 multiple choice questions and about ~5 free response.  Each of the ~20 questions will be worth the same number of points.  Graphing calculators will be needed for this test (i.e., for MATH-9).  You will use one of my classroom calculators w/ the memory cleared.

You are also encouraged to attend lunch tutorials on Tuesday and/or Wednesday as quite a few people did today.
