Math 49AMath 49a Pre-Calculus
Prerequisite: Math 51 Trigonometry
Textbook: Larson & Hostetler PreCalculus with Limits, 2007
Graphing Calculator Required; TI-83 or 84 recommended
The TI-89 and TI-92 graphing calculators (or any other brand or model of
graphing calculator that has a CAS (computer algebra system) and can do symbolic mathematics will NOT be permitted on quizzes and exams in this class.
MATH 49A UPDATE
Final Exam Friday 6/27 9:15 to 11:15 am - note the early time!
Your minitests are graded and will be returned in class on Monday.
Solutions will be posted on the website over the weekend for both exam 3 and the minitest, now that the server and links are working again.
Our last 2 sections covered were:
10.5 rotation of axes: limited portion of that section - p. 767 which is the next to last page of that section (not last page as I think I said in class.)
Appendix A6 absolute value inequalities: The method used in the textbook for absolute value inequalities is different from what I did in class. Either method is fine, but the one I demonstrated is consistent with the methods we learned in section 2.6, and also it tends to lead to fewer errors by students.
See assignments page for homework for 10.5 and A6
Monday's class (last day of regular classes) will be a "review class" - that means that you ask questions, on any topic from the entire quarter. There is no "review lesson plan" - just responding to the questions you have on material we have learned - specific problems, concepts, etc. Bring your textbook if you have specific questions.

Notes for Introduction to Graphs and Functions
It is recommended that you print these out and bring them to class when we cover Chapter 1 in the text. Most (not all) sections in the text have notes in this document - some material covered in class is in the notes but not in the text.

Exponential Decay Models:
Some of the class notes for this topic:
http://nebula.deanza.edu/~bloom/M49A/M49aExpDecayNotes1.pdf
Includes two examples done in class, and a practice problem similar to another example done in class.
(I no longer have the original numbers for that last example done in class for finding half-life).
The carbon dating example is not in the notes - it is in section 3.5 of the textbook - read the book.
Link to 4 practice problems, for applications of exponential growth and decay, with solutions.
