Week 6
This week in Section 1.2 we’ll be talking about graphing equations, finding intercepts, and testing an equation for symmetry. Although each of these things can be done by hand or algebraically, you can use your graphing calculator to verify results and save time. In Section 1.3, many of the equations you will be asked to solve cannot be solved algebraically and must be solved using the graphing calculator.
I have put together a set of short calculator tutorials for these sections. Each is under 5 minutes in length. They can be found by clicking on the Calculator button on the main page. If anyone has any suggestions for additional calculator videos, I'd be happy to take requests.
The section 1.2 homework will be due on Tuesday, the section 1.3 homework will be due on Thursday, and the quiz will be due on Saturday.
There will be no required discussion board postings this week in order to allow you time to focus on becoming familiar with the calculator. There will, however, be a forum for general questions but this will be optional.
