Scribe Post Wednesday November 30th
Today was a pretty easy class overall. We started with looking at our quiz. We have a quiz tomorrow and there will be some of the same types of problems that were on this last quiz in the next one. There will still be questions on related rates, increasing and decreasing with respect to concavity, and Newton's Method. Essentially some form of questions 1, 2, and 3 will appear on the next quiz. After looking at the quiz we played the leap frog game. If you weren't here you can find the rules of the game on the blog below this post. We played this game for the majority of class and it was mainly to nail down some of the basic rules of concavity with respect to a function, its derivative and second derivative. An example for Annie is Where f''' is positive, f_________. The answer would be "is concave up". For some of the more difficult ones to understand Mr. O'Brien showed them up on the board and it seemed that many of them could be understood and solved if you drew out what the problem was asking. We used the last 15 minutes of class to do a problem from the 1999 AP test FRQ section (which can be found on this site http://www.etsu.edu/coe/uschool/facstaff/wells/AP%20Free%20Response/AB/1999.pdf. )
We did #4 in class and we were supposed to do #6 for homework as well as the rest of the homework that was on the iCal.

Remember quiz tomorrow that will have questions like #1, 2, and 3
