Week of December 6th

Algebra 2H pds 1,4
We learned the procedure for solving Quadratic Equations called Completing the Square. This process is 3-5 steps depending on how complicated the problem is.
HW Page 475 #9,17,21,25,29,35,37,39,41, and 42.
EC problem #50.

Geometry H pds 2,5
We learned the Isosceles Triangle Theorems with many examples to show how these theorems are used for solving geometry problems.
The theorems we learned are: If the triangle has 2 sides congruent, then its two base angles are also congruent.
If the triangle has the two base angles congruent, then its two sides opposite those angles are also congruent.
HW Worksheet- Do BOTH sides. Use your textbook to fill in the missing words on the front side.
EC question- Write the two theorems listed above as a BICONDITIONAL.

Trig pd 6
We went over the Ferris Wheel problem again-this time, we wrote a trig equation which expressed the height in relation to the time. Eight values must be filled in the chart.
HW Worksheet #15-23 odds, #26,27
EC problem-Make a model of the Ferris wheel called the Colossus. Its diameter =165 feet, and the top of the wheel is 174 feet above the ground. It makes one revolution every 10 minutes. Find its equation using the cosine graph.
If done correctly, this problem will count as 4 EC points.
