Introduction the Ellipses
Graphing Ellipses in Standard Form
Review of Exponents
I have created a Deltamath assignment called "Review of Exponents" This assignment has 4 question types with 5 questions each. Answer all 20 questions. You have two days to complete this. I will not post an assignment tomorrow. The due date is Wednesday March 25th at 12 noon. After 12 noon on Wednesday, I will post another Deltamath assignment. We are shifting away from ellipses because it has been brought to our attention that we should not give anymore work that is new and has not been taught in class this year. So I will be giving assigments based on previous topics from our course. I also posted some youtube videos to help refrsh your memory on exponents. Turn in the assignment when you are done so I know it is complete. Let me know if you have any questions.
Simplifying radicals Review
There is an assignment posted on Delta math titled "Simplifying Radicals". This is due on Friday at noon.
3/30 assignment: Circles
Good morning. The instructions for this assignment are on the attached Google Doc. A youtube video is also attached. Please watch that video before answering any questions. Read the directions on the doc carefully.

4/6 Assignment. Planetary Orbits. Due 4/13
This week's assignment will apply ellipse equations to a real celestial event - planetary orbits around the sun. As you know, planets revolve around the sun in the shape of an ellipse.
Watch the video that I have created which will demonstrate how to write the equation of an ellipse given a planet's perihelion and aphelion distance. In the video, we will write the equation of earth's path around the sun together.
You are responsible for writing the equations of the elliptical orbits of planets mercury, venus and mars. To do this, you will have to search for perihelion and aphelion for these planets. Please work in the millions of miles unit.
Once you have all of your equations, go to Desmos.com and graph the ellipses that you have found on a single graph along with the equation of the earth's orbit and the sun's location. (These were already found in my video). Be sure to modify the settings on desmos to uncheck the minor gridlines and scale both x and y to 1. Screen capture your Desmos graph with the equations showing onto the provided Google Slides, which is posted below. Then turn in your assignment. This is due on Monday 4/13. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or trouble completing this assignment.
4/21 - 4/27 Introduction to Limits
This week's assignment is about limits. Limits is the first topic that you will learn about in calculus. We will get a sneak preview.
Watch the video that introduces the concepts of limits.
Complete the attached Google Slides and turn in. You will be using Desmos and Google Sheets as a way of completing your slides. If you have any questions or difficulty, please join my google meet today and/or Thursday at 2pm. Nickname "agostinellipc".
5/5-5/11 Logarithms
This week we will take a break from limits and bring back an oldie but goodie, logarithms. The entire assignment will be done on Delta math. The assignment name is “logarithms”. You will see three skill sets with 5 questions each. Each skill set also contains a built in video. Watching each video is part of the assignment so you must watch each one before attempting the skill set. Good luck and as always 2pm Tuesday and Thursday for live help on Google Meet if needed.
Limits to Infinity
We are continuing our study of limits this week by evaluating limits to infinity. This is a Delta math assignment which includes an instructional video on how. There are also 10 questions on evaluating a limit to infinity. I think the Delta video is very clear and helpful. If you have any trouble, let me know. This is our last assignment pertaining to limits.
