formulas??

I was wondering on the formula sheet for the exam is everything on there?? Or is there any specific ones we need to memorize?? Like the ones from the consumer unit and other ones too.
Just wondering. Thanks.

GO FOR GOLD ANSWER KEY!!!!!

MC:

1) D 2) A 3) D 4) C 5) B 6) B 7) C 8) A 9) A 10) B 11) C 12) C 13) A 14) B 15) B 16) D
17) C 18) C 19) A 20) D

SA:

1) a) 9x^2 - 6x + 3 b) 9x - 4

2) x = -2 (-7 is not a solution when checked)

3) AT = 5 cm; angle TRD = 90 deg.; TD = 10; arc RD = 90 deg.; angle CTS = 70 deg.

4) check your TI-83

5) a) (4, 1) b) x = 4 c) D = (-inf, +inf) R = (-inf, 1] d) x = 3, 5 e) check TI-83

6) f_inv = (x-3) / 2

7) ommitted

8) a) 87 mills b) $6525

9) C = (-4, 5) r = 11

10) a) in class b) 2 c) 2

11) theta = 80.4 deg, 279.6 deg

12) x = (7 +- root(57)) / 4

LA:

1) ... 3x^2 - 33x - 78 = 0
3(x - 13)(x + 2) = 0
x = 13 (-2 is an extraneous root)

2) (tan x - 3)(tan x + 2) = 0

x = 71.6 deg, 116.6 deg, 251.6 deg, 296.6 deg

3) a) x = 1; y = -1; z = -2
(1, -1, -2)

b) (+- 9/4, +- root(175/16))

4) [-1,5] .... number line as well.

5) b = 51.4, 5.4

6) > lengths of sides are equal. (dist. formula)
> opposite sides have equal slopes. (slope formula)
> diagonals bisect each other. (mid point formula)

7) f(1) = 0

therefore..(x-1) is a factor

...after synthetic division....(x-3) & (x-2) are other factors

...roots = 1,2,3, y-int = -6 graph as well

8) Sales: (6000 - 200; Profit: (20 + x)

Max = (6000 - 200x)(20 + x)
...
...
= -200x^2 + 2000x + 120000
* h = 5

P = 20 + 5
= $25.00

9) Assume 2 = 1; given 3 = 1
1 + 2 = angle ABC
3 + 4 = angle ACB
1 + 2 = 3 + 4

therefore: angle ABC = angle ACB

...but given ABC not = angle ACB

therefore 2 does not = 1

10) a) * shift 2 right, up 1 of y = 1/x; VA: x = 2; HA; y = 1; graph using TI-83

b) VA: x = 3, -3 HA: none; y-int: x = -1/9; sketch graph using TI-83

11) r = 7 using (distance from pt to line formula)
C = (1,5)

* therefore equation: (x - 1)^2 + (y - 5)^2 = 49

Way to go!!!!

Way to go Vince!!!!! Fantastic double scribe post. Hopefully everyone can take a look at this and match your efforts in following posts. Keep up the great work!!!!

COUNTER EXAMPLES

Today's lesson is COUNTER EXAMPLES. It is about proving the CONJECTURE (conjecture: statement made by examples) wrong by providing true statements, examples, diagrams, equations. This lesson is somehow easy because all you do is prove that the conjecture is wrong. However, such conjectures may lead to sudden confusion because sometimes it gives just a small possibility of proving it wrong. You REALLY have to think about it too.

Here are some examples:

1) The sum of 2 prime numbers is always even. (CONJECTURE)

examples that verify this conjecture:

3 + 5 = 8 even

7 + 9 = 16 even

11 + 13 = 24 even

examples that contradict this conjecture:

7 + 2 = 9 odd

11 + 2 = 13 odd

13 + 2 = 15 odd

2) The expression 1 / x will always be less than 1 for any value of x.

examples that verify the conjecture:

x = 2

1 / 2 = 0.5

x = 4

1 / 4 = 0.25

examples that contradict the conjecture:

x = 1

1 / 1 = 1

x = 0.5

1 / 0.5 = 2

That's today's lesson. The homework is Exercise 48.

EXAMPLES

A upside down U B = m, u

( B \ A ) ' = o, p, s, m, u, r

A \ B = o, p, s

( A U B ) ' = r

Scribe responsibility

Just a quick note folks. I purposely haven't said anything in class about our scribe responsibilities over the past couple of weeks because there shouldn't be a need to. This is an enriched university entrance level course where standards and expectations are high. Everyone fully realizes that each day that there is a new lesson someone needs to be the scribe for that day. Even if it helps 1 or 2 people that night who might have been confused during the lesson then it's definitely served its purpose. Remember you are all responisble young adults and if the routine of scribing continues like it did for most of the course so far, everyone would only have to be the scribe every 21 classes (almost an actual month). Not a lot to ask for something which might make the world of difference to a few of your classmates, or possibly even people around the world taking the course. I've also noticed that it's the same group of 4 or 5 people who are always the "fill-in" scribes. The honus should be on everyone to put in their small part. Have a good day / night folks!!!

Logic and Proof

Logic and Proof: Inductive/Deductive Reasoning

If the same result occurs over again, we conclude it will always occur. This is called inductive reasoning.

ex. multiply and odd number by an even number
9 x 8 = 72
11 x 12 = 132
7 x 10 = 10

• From this, we can conclude that the products are all even. <-- We made a statement that is called a conjecture. A conjecture is something like an unproved theorem. Basically, we made a conjecture that says that all product of odd/even numbers are even.

If two points are placed on the circumference of a circle and joined by a chord, you'll get two regions.

*note: Having beyond 5 points made it difficult to count the regions, so I only did the first three examples.

*Conjecture: The number of regions follow the pattern 2¹, 2², 2³,... 2ⁿ

• The 6-sided polygon proves our conjecture wrong. Using our pattern, we should get 32 regions, but the 6-sided polygon only has 31 regions.

*In deductive reasoning, we make a statement that we are absolutely certain is true based on TRUE STATEMENTS.

ex. Add 2 odd numbers.
1 + 3 = 4
5 + 7 = 12
9 + 11 = 20

• Sum is always even?

Odd numbers:
2x + 1, 2y + 1

• 2x + 1 + 2y + 1
• 2x + 2y + 2
• 2(x + y + 1)

* 2 is a factor, therefore sum is always even.

That's it for today's lesson. Homework is the Inductive and Deductive Reasoning worksheet and Exercise 45.

Consumer / Exp. Growth test results

Hey folks,

The class average for the test was 64%. The marks were very skewed; 8 people received marks from 80% - 100%. 8 people also received marks from 20% - 51%. The other three were somewhere in the middle. Not bad over all, with the most common error being that some people who did not do so well forgot the compound interest formula or just didn't use it when they should have. Have a great weekend and see you on Monday, where we begin our unit on Logic & Proof.

Post?

I forget why I have to do this again, but it seems we get marks for it. So heres my before test post. I didn't know consumer work would involve so much work and understanding. Probably the unit with the most writing in it in my opinion. But its been straight forward so far hasn't it? Well not for me.. Good luck today on the test. ( I prayed this morning and asked if I could pass of the test haha )

...

I need help... This thing is driving me nuts... well the fact that I wasn't able to get the pre test does make me go nuts...

Is it Gross Income- Union Dues= Taxable Income??

Well that's all i need to ask since that's the only thing that's messing me up...

LOL...

Have a great day guys
