We are wrapping up our Trig. Applications chapter and this is a good time archive/file away our best work. We will finish the Chapter 5 test Monday and scan our task work in the computer lab as well.
Prepared for the test?
Be sure you know when and how to apply the Law of Cosines and how to sketch two distinct possible triangles for the ambiguous case of the Law of Sines. I have posted some sample student work and worked out solutions for the 5R assignments. Take a look, especially if you have not submitted those problems yet. The solutions are on my MHS website at http://www.mpsri.net/page.cfm?p=1567
Look under Chapter 5 resources.
C-Period
Be sure to bring your solutions to the 6B applied problems we did a while back (also on my website if you need to see a copy).
Feeling all set with Chapter 5?
Many of us have masted all the Trig. applications. Two things you can do are:
(1) Look over Section 5.5 - There are some other problems we will not cover this year but you may see in Calculus. Area with Law of Sines is just another application of the Law of Sines
(2) Read ahead in Chapter 6. We will be covering at least sections 6.1 and 6.2 this week. Historically, Chapter 6 is a little tougher so you may want to read ahead and look over each section before coming to class.
