11 SL Exponents

Remember to complete the following questions for our lesson tomorrow.

Exercise Set 3A questions 3 and 4
Exercise Set 3B questions 3–5
Exercise Set 3C questions 3, 5

11 SL Functions Test

We’ll have our functions test on Thursday, the 19th of October.

In order to prepare for this test, have a look at the questions below. We’ll be spending part of Tuesday’s lesson looking at inverse functions and working on these questions, but it’s a good idea to start these early so you can ask questions if you get stuck.

Review Set 2A questions 1–3, 7, 10, 11
Review Set 2B questions 4, 6, 7
Review Set 2C questions 4, 10, 12

11 SL Rational Functions

Your homework for tonight involves work with sign diagrams and rational functions.

Read through Example 9 on sign diagrams on page 68, and see if you can answer the assigned parts of question 2 and 3 (see below) without graphing the given function.

Also read through the textbook section on rational functions (2F), paying particular attention to the discussion of asymptotes. Note that the textbook’s definition of a rational function is actually more limited that the (correct) definition we’ve used, which is how they avoid talking about polynomials in this section.

Complete all of the section 2E questions listed below, and as many of the questions below from 2F as you are able.

Exercise 2E questions 1fhk, 2adg, 3agh
Exercise 2F questions 1bc, 2ab

11 SL Composite Functions

We’ve now discussed domain and range and had an introduction to composite functions. I suggest that you read pages 64–65, and then complete the questions below before our next class on Tuesday.

Exercise 2C questions 1–3, 4aceik
Exercise 2D questions 3, 5–7

11 SL Quadratics Test

We’ll have a test on the material from Chapter 1 of the textbook on Friday, September 29th.

In order to prepare for this test, have a look at the questions below, as well as the sample questions document on the SL Resources page.

Review Set 1A—complete any 8 questions
Review Set 1B—complete any 8 questions
Review Set 1C—complete any 8 questions

11 SL Quadratics (Continued)

Make sure you complete the questions here before our next lesson.

Once you’ve completed those questions, work on the following questions.

Exercise 1F question 15
Review Set 1A questions 1, 2b, 4, 6, 7, 9, 11–13

Make sure you complete at least up to question 6 in Review Set 1A before our next class.

11 SL From Graph to Equation

After spending some time on completing the square, we were just able to get started on producing the equation of a function when given its graph.

You should complete pages 39–40 (Exercise 1D) questions 1, 2, 3abf, and 4aef for tomorrow’s lesson.

If you’d like to get a head start on the next bit of material, you can read ahead and try page 42 (Exercise 1E) question 1ad.
