Calculus

Ch 3  Applications of Differentiation

page 160 - 164 Examples 1 - 4

Concepts:  Extrema, (relative) Maxima and Minima, Critical Numbers

Notice the slopes of the tangent lines (derivative values) of the functions are opposite in sign on each side of a critical number...

HW page 165( 1-15 ODD, 25, 56)

Geometry

Understand and solve problems involving perimeter and area using relationships in geometric figures

Perimeter and Area of Rectangles -- Notes beginning at page p.296
Work and check p.300 #32

Areas of Triangles, Parallelograms
and Trapezoids -- Notes beginning at p.303


Work and check p. 308 (6-8; 10-25; 31, 35, 39, 46, 47, 53)




Algebra II

Continued:
Recognize and use different representations of functions (equations, graphs, tabular data) and use them to solve real-world problems.

Yesterday we looked at Positive & Negative Correlation...  even No Correlation.
Today we are going to assign a value to how well our line of best fit matches the data in our scatter plots.  This value is known as a correlation coefficient.

What exactly is a Correlation Coefficient?
How to find the correlation Coefficient using the TI Nspire:  Video

Sometimes the best model for data isn't a straight line.  Sometimes it is a curve.
Here are some examples of different types of curves or functions:  Examples
