Transformations

This is section 1.6 in the text but we will spend a week on it because the topic is so important for everything else we do.  Dates are for G-Block up to the Transformation Quiz.  

09/27  Review Basic 6 Transformations, plus more!
               HW finish Day 1 handout plus p.136-138/3-24 by 3's, 25-28, 29, 31   09/28  More Graphical Transformations (incl. domain & range, inverse, absolute value)
                HW finish Day 2 handout

10/01  Describing Transformation with Coordinates
               HW finish Day 3 handout
10/02  Reciprocal and Involution
               HW finish Day 4 handout
10/04  One Giant Review Problem (G-Block only)  
10/05  Transformation Quiz
               (I will give out the One Giant Review Problem to E-Block for the long weekend.)
10/08  Columbus Day - no school
10/09  Review Day 1
10/11   Review Day 2
10/12   Chapter 1 Test

The practice test

First of all, the One Giant Review packet does not seem to have the small circles that represent composition.  Everywhere you see "g   f" you should interpret as "g(f(x))".

Secondly, the sections and topics covered by the test are:

1.2    Descriptive Vocab for functions
10.3  Limits (useful in defining end behavior and continuity!)
1.3    The 12 Basic Functions (get used to them, they will all be back)
1.4    Adding, Subtracting, Multiplying, Dividing, and Composing Functions (what happens to the domain?)
1.5    Inverses (algebraically, graphically, numerically) - skip the parametric stuff, we'll do it later

The downloads: the Practice Test and, (thanks Mr. Verner!) the Solutions.
I am also posting an answer key to the One Giant Review (all done!)

 Remember that you can email me with your questions over the weekend.  Enjoy!
