The Math Term 2 Interim Assessment is the first one, on Tuesday, January 26th at 8AM. The exam is cumulative up to this point in the year, and topics include:
Monday, 1/25 - we reviewed mathematical induction. Here are the slides from class. Here is the review of mathematical induction sheet you got with a sample solution on the front and a very good practice problem at the top on the second page.
Here are your room numbers for the Term 2 IA:
- (R1) Aungon - Saha: Room 176
- (R1) Sarmiento - Zahzouhi: Room 202
- (R5) Ahamed - Chen: Room 202
- (R5) Chowdhury - Wu: Room 253
**starred topics indicate it is comparatively LESS of a focus of this IA, but that it is still a required topic
- **GDC skills (graphing, zooming, changing window, finding intersections, finding asymptotes, finding intercepts, finding minima/maxima, solving equations with graphs, solving inequalities with graphs)
- **Functions (domain, range, composition, inverse, transformations)
- **Quadratics (graphs, solutions, factoring, completing the square, quadratic formula, discriminant)
- Polynomials (division, polynomial theorems)
- Approximately 10% of the exam
- Sequences and series (arithmetic, geometric, explicit, recursive, finite sums, infinite sums)
- Approximately 20% of the exam
- **Counting (fundamental counting principle, factorials, permuatations, combinations)
- There will be one (1) counting problem on the IA, and you've seen it before.
- Approximately 5% of the exam
- Binomial Theorem (Pascal's Triangle, finding the general term of an expansion, expanding binomials)
- Approximately 10% of the exam
- Mathematical Induction
- Approximately 15% of the exam
- Exponentials and Logarithms (laws and properties, solving equations, changing base)
- Approximately 10% of the exam
- Trigonometry (unit circle, graphs of trig functions, solving equations, using identities, inverse trig functions)
- Approximately 15% of the exam
- Mix of problems and skills
- Approximately 15% of the exam
