Agenda for Week of May 4-8, 2020 (sent via email on 5/3/2020):
Dear Honors Pre-calculus Students,
I am SO incredibly grateful to those of you who have been engaged in the learning since March 13, 2020. I know that this has proven to be a difficult time - more so for some than for others. But, we have all managed and found a way to persevere and for that, I thank you and your families for the support as we continue to focus and finish strong.
As discussed on our calls last week, we will NOT ZOOM this week, but you are expected to turn in your Partial Fraction Decomposition assignments (Boxes 2 and 3). Some of you have already turned in all three assignments, others have turned in two of three. Please be sure to turn them in by the start of your ZOOM class time each day this week (Box 2 - 1st ZOOM and Box 3 - 2nd ZOOM) to earn credit. There will be no Khan Academy assignments this week. We will resume the following week, at our normal day/time.
Please take care of yourselves and your families, and wash your hands!

Agenda for Week of April 27 - May 1, 2020 (sent via email on 4/262020): same ZOOM link as last week.
This week we will cover Partial Fraction Decomposition (PFD). During our first ZOOM call of the week, I will introduce the concept of PFD. You have already received a notification from Khan Academy for the assignments that are due on Friday, May 1, 2020. Please observe the Khan Academy videos and take notes in your notebook as you work your way through the videos and interactive exercises. From our classroom website, www.mrsnjohnson.com, Section 11.6 Box #1 (from your textbook) is due at the start of the second ZOOM call scheduled for this week. Section 11.6 (Box #2) is due at the start of next week's first ZOOM call, and Sections 11.6 (Box #3) is due at the start of next week's second ZOOM call. There will not be any Khan Academy assignments for next week. Please come prepared for discussion on each of our next three ZOOM calls. After that, I will provide you with and ask you to complete and turn in (via email) a worksheet to summarize PFDs.
On our second ZOOM call ending this week, I will clarify questions that might arise after you have watched the videos and attempted to complete the assigned textbook exercises. Note that this overall plan will give you ample time to complete the assigned work by the said deadlines. At the conclusion of this topic, we will review the entire semester.
See you soon! Please take care, and wash your hands.

Here is the plan for this week's (April 6-10) ZOOM meetings. Please plan to attend my class on the day posted. The times are based on the *Interactive/Live Meeting Schedule.
Agenda:
. Check-in with everyone
. Review last assignment and answer questions (Calculus: Chapter 4 Project; Precalculus: 9.5-9.7)
. Teach next lesson (Calculus: Introduce Integral calculus - Chapter 5; Precalculus: Equations in a Plane)
. Assign practice problems
. Discuss next steps (grading and future assignments)
. Adjourn
Please plan to attend this week's ZOOM meeting, Tuesday (periods 5-8) and Thursday (periods 1-4). I will be sharing information regarding grading and future assignments. This means that I will meet with each class only once this week.

Class question: One of your classmates was having difficulty solving #61 from section 9.4. Below is my response to them.
61. Let F1 be the tension on the left, F2 be the tension on the right, and F3 be the force of the tightrope walker's weight. For equilibrium, the sum of all three force vectors must be zero, correct? So, this means:
F1=F1 mag times (cos 175.8i + sin 175.8 j)
F2=F2mag times (cos 3.7i + sin 3.7 j)
F3= -150j
which implies that F1+F2+F3 = 0 (make the substitutions from above and combine like terms).
Set i and j components equal to 0, separately and to solve it, it should resemble a system of equations. This means that you can use elimination or substitution to solve for F1, F2, etc. If the system is solved correctly, F1 = 1089.3 pounds and F2 = 1088.6 pounds.
Ch. 9 Review Exercises: 1, 7, 15, 19, 27, 33, 35, 41, 49, 52, 55 5, 12, 16, 20, 21, 32, 37, 43, 47, 53, 56
