2. It has the elite Veteranian Major in the state (GO ANIMALS!)
3. We visited the school & the same field this year (BEST TRIP EVER!)
4. Johnny Football (the QB in the video for A&M) won the Heisman Trophy

Special Right Triangles #1

Below is the assignment for yesterday's class. Your homework, given Monday, requires that you understand the concepts began today (continuing tomorrow).

(1/17&18/2013) Special Right Triangles #1

Pythagorean Theorem: Indirect Measurement of a String

Suggestions for prizes will be accepted for last weeks assignment. Remember, there will only be 3 winners. Please keep suggestions fun and reasonable; and GOOD LUCK! Below is the link for the assignment.

Pythagorean Theorem: Indirect Measurement of a String

Pre Calculus: Circles vs. Ellipses

Here is the practice for circles and ellipses. You will first need to divide by both coefficients (the numbers in front of x and y). This will either resolve cleanly, giving you a radius for a circle OR it will not divide cleanly and leave an 'a' value and 'b' value below x and y (which should also give you =1 at the end for an ellipse).

Practice makes perfect!

Circles & Ellipses
