Welcome Back!!!Pre Calculus GTMonday, August 27, 2013A Day • Find your seat by matching your clue with a number on one of the desks. • Good luck!!!
First Day Stuff • Attendance • Seating Arrangements • First assignment – read syllabus and get signed. Due tomorrow!!!
Pacing & Homeworks • It will go fast – ask for help as SOON as you feel yourself getting lost. • Homework given everyday – odds from text will be assigned so CHECK your answers BEFORE you come to the next class • After going over problems with your groups, I will go over group questions and then we will do a Homework Check. • WOW – assigned every Friday and due the following Friday • Each class will end with an Exit Slip – notes allowed but done individually.
Completing the Square & Conic Sections - Circles Objectives: The SWBAT complete the square and factor quadratic expressions The SWBAT find the standard form of a circle and identify its center and radius. Hwk #1-2:Complete both worksheets, complete First Week Checklist
What exactly is completing the Square? • You may remember the procedure but do you know why we do what we do? • Let’s take a simple example:
Algebra Tiles represents represents represents

So to complete the square… • Factor: We take half of the middle term and square it!

Don’t forget! • So if the leading coefficient is any other value than 1 you will need to divide or factor out that value 1st!!
Classwork – Find a partner • Complete a few of each section of the worksheet. It includes practice problems like we just reviewed as well as some factoring problems. • Don’t forget when factoring to always look for a GCF 1st!! • Finish the rest for homework.
Question: • What shape would I get if I rotated a diagonal line about the y-axis 3-dimensionally?
Conic Sections and Play-Doh • Work with the person next to you. • Get your Play-Doh and a playing card • Each person needs to make a cone • Use your card to make the cuts on the next slide through your cone. Identify the resulting shape.
Type of Cut Through 1 cone, parallel to the base Through 1 cone, not parallel to the base, does not intersect base Through 1 cone, not parallel to the base, intersects base Through 2 cones (one is inverted on the other), perpendicular to the base Through the cone’s vertex only Plane tangent to cone Shape Circle Ellipse Parabola Hyperbola Point Line Fun with play-doh
Circles • A circle is the set of all points P(x,y) in a plane that are r units, called the radius, from a point called the center (h,k) • The general form: • Center = (h,k) Radius = r
5) Find the equation of the circle that has: • Center ( 3, -1) and radius = 3
Exit Slip - Find the equation of the circle that has: • Center ( 4, -3) and passes through (2, -1)
Classwork/Hwk: Complete both sides of the worksheet
