This week has been easier. The application of derivatives has been an interesting concept. I got my test back. I ended up missing some crucial parts of the concept and lost a few points. So I will have to fill out the mastery form and hopefully earn some points back. I am hoping that will be enough to bring my grade up to an acceptable level. The quiz that I took I feel fairly confident about I think that I did really well. The concepts I felt I understand. I believe that I successfully used the Mean Value Therom correctly to solve some of the problems. I believe I was correct on the more difficult concept questions and I’m confident that I won’t lose too many points. Monday when we take the second section I think I got. I believe that the only problem with that will be finding the first and second derivative. Other than that I know how to sketch the graph from the data gained from the first and second derivative. I know the rules to find the extrema and I know how to find concavity, critical points, and inflection points. I think that I will be able to successfully graph the function from the derivatives. Sadly I was not able to attend the Ted talk. I was on a field trip with the astronomy class. I am unbelievably busy this week my teachers really laid on the homework. I hunt on opening weekend so it will be fairly difficult to squeeze all the things that I have to do in. Overall this was a ok week. There was some ups and downs and I’m just glad that the trimester is almost over.
