Week 1

This week was fairly easy. The assignment packet had a few difficult problems that I could not remember from last year. A problem used theta and asked me what the intercepts were. I could not remember how to do this. One of the other things that I had problems with was some of the shapes. Some of the shape equations escaped me and I could not remember how to do them. Another problem I had was interval notation. I could not remember which number went under which parenthesis. The finding the zeros equations were pretty easy. Finding the real solution using the quadratic formula was also pretty easy. The composition of functions was pretty had until I figured out the rule on how to solve them. The function review was pretty easy with the exception on the interval notation. The inverse function equation was pretty easy when I figured out how to solve it. Some of the problems were presented in a fun way like the bicycle velocity problem. Using the house and asking to use a grid system was cool. This connected it to a real world problem that you might find you will have to do on a job. The multiplication was pretty easy. Equations with triangle I remember clearly because of just taking trig last year. This made the triangle problem very easy. This week was mostly review the assignment packet had some easier and harder problems. I like that the desks are situated in such a way to promote helping others in your group. It is interesting to have the option to solve problems on the white board. This helps others in the group see the math along with the answer to the problem. This along with the video lectures lead me to believe that this will be an interesting year.
