Bellwork reviewed some problems from Chapter 9 to begin reviewing for the upcoming Final Exam.

The remainder of the period we discussed Sec. 14-1 and continued to work on examples of simplifying trigonometric expressions.  Students were given a variety of problems and shown a variety of ways to simplify.  This way they can use their notes when simplifying problems on their own because many of the techniques shown to them in class can be used again on different problems.

Hwk #27  Sec 14-1    Due Date: TBD.
