Agenda for Precalculus Week of March 16th - 20th

• Welcome back from a wonderful and hopefully restful Spring Break!! 
• ***I have updated this blog page to give you direction. Please check the weekly calendar to see additional information. While no assignments for this week are due until March 27th, please use your time wisely to get ahead.
• We are in unusual circumstances. I will try my best to get content to you efficiently and also give you reasonable deadlines to help keep you on track. TCC still expects you to get the full course. We will try our best but again, we are in unusual circumstances.
• I am obviously unable to provide you handouts. I have attached the handout below to assist you. I do not expect you to copy the handout in full. But please take the handout seriously as it will help you understand the ambiguous case with law of sines.

Below is the Agenda for Precalculus this week.

• Complete the THREE assigned tasks below in the following order to maximize understanding & minimize confusion.
• Task 1 MyLabMath 21 Solve Right Triangles
• Task 2 MyLabMath 22 Law of Sines (The videos explain process if you need assistance.) 
• Task 3 Use links below to complete Video Notes: Ambiguous Case handout
• The Video Notes handout is attached below for your reference.

                    Video Notes Ambiguous Case Part 1 and Part 2

• Video Links for Task 3
• Click the link to access video: Ambiguous Case Part 1 and complete the front of the handout.
• Click the link for to access video: Ambiguous Case, Part 2 and complete the back of the handout.
• Click the link for Geogebra animation, 

          SSA Triangle, The Ambiguous Case to explore other sides
          and angle opposite one of the sides to see how NO triangles,
          ONE triangle or TWO triangles are formed.

Please use your time efficiently so that when we do return to school, you will have some background knowledge on topics presented here and in MyLabMath.
