Geometric Trig

Post-test homework was to do the area and identity worksheet. We continue with the more geometric applications of trigonometry. For this we will use primarily the Brown book.

1/26  9.2  Area Formula and applications
            HW p.342-344/1-19 odd, 20-22, 35, 36
            (p.344/34 is a bonus problem - turn it in for extra credit)
1/27  Snow Day This puts G-Block a day behind E-Block.
1/28  9.3  Law of Sines for E-Block, More Area for G-Block
            HW p.347-349/1-27 odd

1/31  9.4  Law of Cosines
            HW p.352-354/1-17 odd, 22
2/01  9.1, 9.4  Mixed Trig Problems
            HW p.337-338/31-33, 37  and  p.356-358/11,14,18,21,24,25,29,34

Snow day and the adjustment of the schedule

Given that there is no opportunity for asking questions before our Ch 4 test due to the snow day, the test will move to Tuesday, January 25th for both sections.

You are all highly recommended to practice sinusoids (writing equations from information in particular) as that seems to be a weakness from your quizzes. Problems in Brown have been assigned to the G-Block class. There are more that weren't assigned. Do what you need to do.

The review sheet that was to be handed out to E-Block today is available for download here. The answer key is available in the previous post.
