Mr. Murphy's Calculus Classes http://www.dragonometry.net Mr. Murphy's Calculus Classes. en-us 2/22/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we continued our work in Lesson 6.3. After reviewing solutions to our arc length problems, we began a review of our current applications of integration with this practice assignment (due tomorrow) covering Lessons 6.1 to 6.3.

]]> 2/21/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we began Lesson 6.3, using integrals to find arc length. We also introduced using the calculator to find definite integrals. The assignment is #10, 13-18, 20, 30, 31.

]]> 2/16/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we took a quiz over Lessons 6.1 and 6.2. Long weekend ahead. Enjoy! We'll start 6.3 on Tuesday.

]]> 2/15/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we continued our work in Lesson 6.2, this time revolving about horizontal line such as the x-axis. We added on #15-18, 22, 23, 26b, 27a, 28a.

Tomorrow we will take a short four-question quiz over Lessons 6.1 and 6.2, with two questions from the 6.1 assignment (one disk, one washer) and two questions from the 6.2 assignment (both about a vertical line - Tuesday's problems).

]]> 2/14/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we began Lesson 6.2, using cylindrical shells to find the volumes of solids of revolution. Students were assigned #1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 26c, 27c, 28c beginning on page 443.

]]> 2/13/2012 http://dragonometry.net With Mr. Murphy out today, student spent time in class practicing their disk and washer methods for finding volumes of solids. The assignment is still from Lesson 6.1, #11,12,24,25,32,43,46,53,59.

]]> 2/10/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we continued our work in Lesson 6.1, this time with washer cross sections. For the assignment, we added on #37-42, 45, 49, 52, 62.

]]> 2/9/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we continued in Lesson 6.1 with the disk method for finding volumes of solids of revolution. You can use the equation plotter to help visualize the solids. The assignment is to add on #15-23, 26, 33.

]]> 2/8/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we began Chapter 6, Lesson 6.1. We worked on calculating volumes by slicing. The assignment is #2-10.

]]> 2/7/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we took our test over lessons 5.5 and 5.6. After the test, students were assigned to READ pages 425-428, including examples 1-3, and try #1 on page 434. Tomorrow we being Chapter 6, Applications of Integration. Yay! :)

]]> 2/6/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we wrapped up our work in Lessons 5-5 and 5-6 and designed our Substitution Test, which we'll take tomorrow. While there was no additional as assignment, the test will be very similar to these 15 problems: p. 402, #1,6,22, 27,44; p. 410, #1,5,7,11,25,52,54,57,63,85. There will also be one bonus question.

]]> 2/3/2012 http://dragonometry.net We are making progress with substitution in integrals. Today we began with a short quiz, then continued to work on our problems, adding #23-33 a) only, 59-61, 66, 73-74, 82, 88, 90, 100, 107. We are shooting for a Test nest Wednesday.

]]> 2/2/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we spent most of class reviewing solutions to the problems from last night. Tonight we are continuing in Lesson 5.6, adding on #2-7 b) only, 13-21 a) only, 54,55,62,68,77,83,87,98,106.

]]> 2/1/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we began Lesson 5.6, using substitution to evaluate definite integrals and find the area between two curves. Using these notes as a guide, students were assigned #2-7 a) only, 52-53, 56-58, 63-64, 81, 85, 96.

]]> 1/31/2012 http://dragonometry.net Today we continued our work in Lesson 5-5. We are doing u-substitution with indefinite integrals. We added on #7, 12, 24, 34, 35, 36, 40, 50.
