Week 4: Monday, February 5, 2007-Friday, February 9, 2007

Day 9: February 5, 2007
Class Cancelled.
The definition of fundamental theorem of algebra and DCquiz 3 are due on WebCT.

Day 10: February 7, 2007
Learned how to use the different aspects of WebCT, including how to submit assignments.

Took another quiz on how to find roots of a function in excel:
f(x)=(lnx-2)*(arctan(1+0.05x2)-pi/3)

Day 11: February 9, 2007
f(x)=x^2+6x+9=(x+3)^2
ROOTS: -3

f(x)=g(x)h(x)

if x* is a root of g(x)—>g(x*)=0
f(x*)=g(x*)h(x*)=0

( )( )( )
( )

asymptotes-tan/cot
fractions—>denominator=0

vertical asymptote-0 denominator

Assigned Assignment 1: Make your own f(x) in Excel for Monday
