B Day Math Pre-Calc Mui Imaginary numbers due Today
Today is Thur 5/14 “A” or Fri 5/15”B” Day
READ ALL this CAREFULLY:
- YOU MUST REVIEW THESE correct ANSWERS FROM LAST DoNow!!!
- MOST OF YOU WERE CARELESS and FORGOT YOUR BASICS, including PEMDAS!!! Also, CHECK your answers!!!
- THESE are ALL on next week’s FINAL!!!!! YOU MUST PRACTICE!!!!
- TURN in the NEW practice problems for TODAY’s DoNow! *** *** You should all get “100” ! *** ***
- Finish your PROJECTs too!!!
* You MUST do DoNows everyday we have class since this is how we take attendance
* Keep working on Part 1 of your final (Projects). You have until this Friday, May 15, 2:30pm to complete it and turn it in
* Part 2 of your final (Problems) will be next week
* Some of you continue to cheat by copying work (or giving it to others). You will BOTH earn zeros and this could result in you failing for the YEAR. It is YOUR responsibility; accept the consequences of any poor decisions.
DO NOW: 5/14A & 5/15B Part#2 Check/Fix these & Explain Why
For each of the following, check the work and the answer. Write either “it is correct as is”, or show the correct work and answer. If the answer is wrong, explain why it is wrong in detail.<<<MANY of you didn’t follow these directions (no work, no correct answer, no explanations, etc.)
a) -42 = 16 MOST of you said this was right!!?? Exponents first, then the negative!!!!!! The correct answer is -16 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! You won’t do well on SATs or Freshman college math/placement tests* if you make this careless mistake! REMEMBER PEMDAS!!!!!!
TURN THIS IN TODAY: -52= ___-25_____ (-7)2=_____49______
b) If r=0.5 and t=2, ert = 3.29744 You must do the EXPONENT(s) FIRST (PEMDAS)!!!!! e0.5x2 is just e1 = e = 2.718 !!!
TURN THIS IN TODAY: If r=2 and t=3, ert = ____403.1779________
c) SQRT(-25) = -5 MOST of you didn’t answer this correctly either!!!!! You CANNOT take the square root of a negative number!!! NEITHER -5 x -5 nor +5 x +5 equals -25 !!!!!!! PLEASE use common sense and check whether what you put down actually works!!!!!!!!! If you remember imaginary numbers, the answers are +/- 5i
TURN THIS IN TODAY: SQRT(-81)=_____Not real_____________ (please don’t email me that can’t do this!! I JUST told you!! LOOK at the example
above ^^^^ !!!!)
d) CubeRoot(-8) = imaginary (no real number) MANY of you did this wrong too. The question is asking WHAT THREE (identical) numbers multiplied together gives you -8 (“cube root”).
IT IS JUST -2 since -2 x -2 x -2 = -8, so the answer is -2 !!! (a REAL number)
TURN THIS IN TODAY: CubeRoot(-27)=___-3___
