Class Minutes January 29, 2014

In class today we learned u substitution as a method for integrating functions.
To do choose what you think is the inside function and set that equal to u. Then derive u so that the derived function is equal to du/dx. Rearrange that so that you have a function for dx in terms of du and x. Go back to the original function and plug u in and what you solved for dx in for dx. Now cross things out and integrate with u still present. Once integrated the integrand and the du disappear. Now plug the original function back in for u. Add plus c to the end of your function. Now you have your integrated function.
Example: Integrate Sin3x

Class-Jan 27th

Today in class we completed a POD from the midterm exam. We got a paper to match functions and anti derivative functions. Then we got the Anti-derivatives packet and people were selected to read Brain 1 and Brain 2 for each situation. The Brain 1 and 2 talked about the thought process of finding the anti-derivatives. In that packet, we also practiced finding the anti-derivatives and they got harder as you went through the packet. Finally, we took notes on Anti-derivatives/Indefinite integrals. Our homework is 5.3 pg 202 Q1-Q10, #1-29*4, 34. Also, get ready for a concept test on related rates next class.
