We continued our unit on functions and equations today. We reviewed composition of functions and got a start into looking at how function composition changes function properties.

Here are the marked slides from class.

Your first HW to be on a HW Quiz is Page 40 #1-9, 18, 20 and Page 45 #2.

As well, three final drafts of problem solving are due by email on Monday, September 30 at 8AM.

For Problem Solving:

There are several documents for this unit that will be helpful to us:

• The introduction and rationale for this unit.
• The flowchart explaining the process to which we will adhere.
• The problem solving rubric by which your problem write ups will be assessed.
• The calendar of important dates, and problems for this chapter, hints included.

As well, most of you received the problems you did from Chapter 1.

• Here again is a description of the assignment.
• Worked out solutions to the classwork.
• Worked out solutions to the homework.
• Worked out solutions to the HL optional problems.

Important reminders:

• Mon. 9/30, 8AM: final drafts for three problems due by email.
• Word documents may include pictures of diagrams. Make sure you still describe the process.
• Write up: four sections (PLAN, ATTACK, CHECK, REFLECT) based on the flowchart and the rubric (see links to documents above).
• If you make a CONJECTURE, make sure you try to PROVE or EXPLAIN that CONJECTURE.
