I need to know...

Have any of your parents expressed concern regarding my maternity leave? I received an email from the principal regarding this and my sub (Mr. Chun). I'd like to know because it concerns me, my class, and well, ME! I'm not upset or anything. Honest. Just curious and concerned to know what the "concerns" from parents have been.
You can read the email on my other blog's post.

Out of Curiosity

Hi Mrs. Carlson,
I was wondering if we still get bonus pts for wearing our shirts on Wednesdays.
just curious (and hopeful).

AP Calc BC Review HW # 4

Hi.

I have trouble with HW #4, number 5c. I kept getting 1.32 instead of 1.52. Can someone please help me?

HW#2 Riemman Sums

Hi Mrs. Carlson,
The homework is not opening on my computer. I am not sure why but it isn't. I was wondering if you could check it out. Thank You

Hi Calc BCers!

Hey guys...I am here...sort of. Busy trying to get your stuff ready. Nope, no baby yet. =)

I have RE-POSTED ALL of the worksheets so far. Special notations: "$" means scientific calculators allowed and "*" means graphing calculators allowed. Otherwise, NO calculators allowed at all.
Also, I fixed some typos and added in THREE problems each on the Riemann Sums (Tues/Wed HW) and extended the Slope Field/Diff EQs to include Euler's Method and made it 2 days' worth.
Please just go check it out and share with others in the class.
At the end of the problems are the answers, as well.

I will see you guys tomorrow morning (unless something happens in the middle of the night...)!

Mrs. Carlson
Are you okay?
If you are, can you post the solutions to the related rates worksheet?

HW #13 - 87 - BC5 c

Hi. I was just wondering for 87 - BC5, I found the equation in terms of x and y but I don't know how to find the interval for T. Does anyone know how to find the interval of T? Thanks.

mrs.carlson-if you have time, could you post the answers to the FRQs, so we can check our answers? or is it on edline already?

Test on Friday

For the test- do we need to know subjects covered in the book but not in our notes? These topics include finding ground speed and direction (#65 in #12 hw) and using the symmetry test for polar functions. I'm having trouble in both areas.

HW#7

On the blue homework sheet that Mrs. Carlson handed to us at the beginning of the year, the problems are #49, 51, 53, 54, 57, 58, 64 wc, (67). On the edline page, however, it says to do #49-63 odd, 64, (67). I was wondering which assignment we are to follow. I was thinking maybe it was supposed to be the assignment from the homework sheet, because Mrs. Carlson said before that all of the assignments on Edline were from last year, so maybe she changed the problems. And also, do we have to do the graphs for number 64? That's a TON of graphs! Thank you!

HW # 6 or 8

Mrs. Carlson
I was wondering if our homework was HW #6 or #8 because someone wrote HW#8 on the board, but shouldn't the next homework be #6?
Thank-You

Question on today's homework

Hi Mrs. Carlson,
I was wondering if we had to do (a) graph for #s 5 & 7, and, if we do, do we have to do it on graph paper?
Thank you

Opener Solution

I'll have it posted on edline for a day only.
Please read the comments.
I'm now VERY tired.
It is waaaayyyy past my bedtime.
See you guys in the morning.

I'm a little worried...

I've only graded a handful of openers from today. I am seeing some scary things on the papers.
Here are some things I need to set straight:

1. Identify the test you use!
2. The Ratio Test only works for series with POSITIVE terms. Otherwise, you must use the Ratio Test for Absolute Convergence, which means you need the absolute value bars over everything.
   
3. You can NEVER get a negative value after using the Ration Test. Why? See #2 above.
4. The Ratio Test is INCONCLUSIVE when the limit = 1.
5. The Alternating Series Test is INCONCLUSIVE if it fails.
6. You do NOT want to compare 1/(ln(k+2)) to 1/k. This does NOT compare well. But you CAN compare it to 1/(k+2).
   
7. When checking the endpoints, simplify before you do anything. It will make it so much easier to figure out.

I don't know...I have to get back to grading those. I am dreading it...I hope they get better.

Solutions to HW #17 FRQ

Mrs. Carlson
Is it possible for you to upload the solutions to the FRQ today, so we can have an additional day to review for the test.
Do we only have to do the three problems or do we have to do the supplemental problems too?

Solutions to HW12?

Are there solutions online for HW12 for LCT and DCT, not "Ch 9 HW#12" for Integral Test and P-series?

hw #12

hey pplz do we have to do hw # 12 cus we didn't go over it in class and i no we did LCT and DCT a LLLLLOOOONNNNGGGGG time ago but i'm not sure how to do it w/ series... so wat did u pplz do?

HW #11

Hi!

I have trouble with #6 and # 9 on HW #11. Can someone help me?
For #6 are we allow to use p-series test? I try p-series and it converges.
On #9. I use L’Hopital’s Rule and I found out that it also converge. Does anyone know if we can actually use that rule? It wasn’t not the sheet though.

Updated Course Expectations

I've updated it for 2nd semester. If you bring it in signed by Monday, Feb 4th, the first day of second semester, I'll give you 3 extra-credit points. I know it's not much, but I'm not asking for much either. Otherwise, I'll be giving you a copy in class on Monday. They are due no later than the end of the week.
I've also added in a "Dear Mom and Dad" letter. I simply want you guys to take a look at it so that you're aware of what it is and what it looks like. You do not have to bring that signed. Not unless you anticipate on doing something (or not doing something, for that matter) to warrant one.

Have a good 3-day weekend! [I wish I had one...]
See you next week.

Mrs. Carlson
