We started off the  class with a daily problem. Once finished, we moved into notes 2.4 We went over these notes that we had taken the night before to clarify any problems we had and to expand on what we wrote down slightly. We also took notes 2.45 on the continuity of piecewise functions, and boolean variables. In order to type in a piecewise function on a TI-nspire, go to your graphing window. When you are prompted to insert your function, press the button on the right side below the delete button and left of the button that has a book on it. In the menu on the screen, choose the one with the curly bracket, and four boxes. Then, type your first equation in the upper left box, and its restrictions to the right of it. Do the same with your second equation, except in the lower left and right boxes. To do this on a TI-83/84, go into y=. In Y1, type in your first equation in parentheses. After the equation, put a division symbol and the equations restrictions in parentheses after the division. You can get to the greater than, less than, and more symbols by pressing the math button. Do the same thing for the second equation, except typing it in Y2. We then answered any questions we had on the book work and the evaluating limits worksheet. We did check 2.4 regarding the concepts we have been learning and did an exploration regarding continuous and discontinuous piecewise functions. We finally finished up class with grabbing the FRQ and starting it if we had time.
