Homework Study Helpers! =P discussion

get help for topics such as:

Change of Rate
Combination of Functions
Composition of Functions
Trigonometric Functions
Properties of the Tangent to a Curve
Logarithmic Functions

and many other topics...(to many to list, I just put a few up)

NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS??
(sorry for the caps!)

hate trigonometic functions! BLEH!

Well idk if this counts as Calc but Trig helps sort of. Anyways, I have to do a project incorporating sin, cos, tan graphs, lines, absolute values, radicals, and a bunch of other lines/curves like that in a project. Problem is, idk what to do for it. Right now I'm thinking of finding things in this picture http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photo... but idk, there's probably something better I could do

Hi Karishma, you have to do a project that incorporates all of those? hmmm I suppose it could be like pre-Calculus.

do you have to find these all in that photograph? is that the project?

@ Becky

don't worry you will come across it when you are a senior in high school for sure. (mind you, you would probably have the choice not to do it..ect..)

@Andrea:

I hear you...lol I think i spent a while on that unit...><

Just so you know! Calculus is not hard! I'm doing it on my own and understanding it with out a teacher.

So as I was saying to some grade 10 students don't believe what everyone says about a subject being hard. I learned the hard way...:( I had to go back to school and re do my subjects I didn't do in high school.

Calculus is the study of how things change. It provides a framework for modeling systems in which there is change, and a way to deduce the predictions of such models.

Beginners Calculus

here you go

The changes are regarding mostly to the slope of a tangent. You probably have heard of slope in math right? so basically calculus is used to calculate the tiniest change in slope. It is used to help be very accurate in building ect....

too bad there is no one that is currently taking calculus in this group?

yeah...in your last year of highschool usually.

hey! my account got deleted, so i had 3 make a new one, but now im here again, so nobody needs 2 miss me anymore! :)

What are "limits"???

Limits are about finding when a graph reaches a certain value...for example:

lim = 2x + 4 <-- is the function
x->2

The limit of the function, as x approaches 3 is 2x + 4

I'm taking it currently! Idk how much help I'll be though

It's okay :) I'm studying for my exam...and studying very carefully.

only thing is I suck at studying for exams...:(

I always fall asleep while studying, smh so I don't study often, but I'm trying to be better about it. I just get bored of it too quickly

I know what you mean. @_@
