We started our new unit on patterns and counting and are looking at sequences and series now and up until Thanksgiving.
Monday, 11/16 - we defined what a sequence is and looked at general and recursive formulae. Here are the slides from class. Your HW is p. 154 (Ex. 4.1) #1-6, 15-20.
Tuesday, 11/17 - we defined arithmetic and geometric sequences and used the recursive and explicit formulae for each. Here are the slides from class. Your HW is p. 162 (Ex. 4.3) #2-30 even.
Wednesday, 11/18 - we practiced with a variety of arithmetic and geometric sequence problems. Here are the slides from class. Your HW is to spend half an hour working on this worksheet of sequence problems.
Thursday, 11/19 - we looked at series and sigma notation. Here are the slides from class. Your HW due Monday is p. 172 (Ex. 4.4) #1, 2, 13, 16-18, 31-34 & p. 125 (Ex. 3.3) #40, 42.
Friday, 11/20 - we did practice problems with series problems. Here is the worksheet from class. Your HW due Monday is p. 172 (Ex. 4.4) #1, 2, 13, 16-18, 31-34 & p. 125 (Ex. 3.3) #40, 42.
Monday, 11/23 - we looked at infinite geometric series. Here are the slides from class. Your HW is p. 172 (Ex. 4.4) #4, 6, 24, 28. Optional problems (not for HW) that can help you study for your quiz are p. 172 (Ex. 4.4) #29, 30; p. 200 #3, 4, 11, 18, 21, 33.
Tuesday, 11/24 - we did practice problems in our groups about sequences and series. Here are the problems from class and here are my worked solutions and here is the IB answer key.
Wednesday, 11/25 - we have a quiz on sequences and series.
