Week 10: Oct. 25
- Review 2 practice test File
- Review 2 practice test solutions File
- Review #2 Wednesday 10/27 in class, then take home.
  Covering material on assignments #14 through #24.
  If needed in-class, I'll give (at start of test or in problem):
  
  formulas for SPHERE and CONE on p. A-10 but know other formulas on that page.
  
  D(a^x) = (ln a)a^x and D(log_a x) = 1/[(ln a)x]. Memorize all other derivative rules that we have used.
  
  In-class is probably three pages with space to work on the test.
  Pick up TAKE HOME part due Friday.
  Notation and showing your work is important, not just answers.
  Similar to the variety of problems from the homework.
  Graphing calculator (bring one) use is unrestricted BUT:
  
  Limits and Derivatives must show "hand" steps and reasoning; Maximums or minimums must be found by derivative (unless specifically told that you may get it from graph).
  
  Mark how calculator is used beyond simple number crunching; in particular, mark if you use graphing or symbolic calculator to do something other than number calculation.
  
  Problem instructions may specify "hand" steps or a specific technique (eg. second derivative test).
  While in-class part is closed book, the TAKE HOME part is OPEN BOOK: You are allowed to use of your text book and your notebook of materials of all kinds (including e-files) that you have gathered. You may use Desmos or other online calculator (tell me if you do), though same bullet requirements as above. You MAY NOT get assistance from anyone else or use the internet to research how to do a problem. You may not reference other materials, not gathered in your personal collection before picking up the test.
