I'm spending spring break at home with shingles. :-(
Although shingles is not contagious, chicken pox is and shingles comes from the chicken pox virus. Therefore, if you have not had chicken pox or the vaccine and show any unusual symptoms, you might get checked for chicken pox. And I hope you are having a great (and healthy) break.
If you need to use your calculator for something other than your project, you can store your unfinished (or completed) project as a graphical data base. When you have the equations and window that you want to keep, press the Draw command (2nd program) and move the cursor right to STO (That stands for Store.) and press Store GDB. "StoreGCB" should appear on your homescreen and you should need to type a number from 1 to 6 after it and press "ENTER". When you want to see that project again, go to the Draw menu, scroll over to STO and press Recall GDB and then press the same number from 1-6 that you used earlier. The equations and window will return just like you had the earlier.
Answers to the practice PSAT today: 1. A 2. E 3. B 4. A 5. E 6. A 7. B 8. C 9. D 10. C 16. 81 17. 4 18. 9 19. 2/15 or 4/30 or .133 20. 7 21. 8 22. 729 23. 7 24. 9 25. 1/4 or .25
Solutions are posted outside my door. Good luck on the PSAT on Wednesday. Remember to bring your graphing calculator, but don't depend on it. Use it and your time wisely... :-)
While searching for review material, I found this nice website for geometry. It looks like a great review for anyone in the advanced program! We expect all students to know most of this by the end of Accelerated Math I, and we use a great deal of it in Accelerated Math III. Geometry Review
FYI: The most commonly missed problem on the Accelerated Math III final exam involved finding an expression for the area of a regular pentagon given a side length...
Finding the distance from a point to a line was the next most commonly missed problem, followed by finding the cube root of a complex number.
