10/11/13 Class reflection

Today in class, we started out with the daily problem which touched upon our understanding of definite integrals. After that, we went over the FRQ that had been assigned to us the class before (10/9/13). The first question of the FRQ just required us to use derivatives to figure out the rate at which the number of people waiting in line changed at 5:30pm. In part two of the FRQ, we had to use the trap rule to figure out a definite integral of the average number of people waiting in line during the first 4 hours that the tickets were on sale. As a reminder, the trap rule is as follows: 1/2(b1 + b2). In the third part of the FRQ we were asked to figure out the fewest number of times at which L'(y) must equal 0, and Ms. Sommariva had to walk us through this one because the IVT is a relatively new concept to us. After we went over the FRQ together, we moved onto the homework check. The homework check tested us on our understanding of limits and the IVT. After we finished the homework check, we took two concept tests, one on concept #3 (continuity) and the other on concept #4 (evaluating limits). This pretty much sums up what we did in class yesterday.
