(0)
This product is designed for students to practice integration using the methods of partial fractions and long division. It includes 16 sections each consisting of three related problems. In each section, students are instructed (a) first to use long division to write an improper rational expression as a sum of a polynomial and a proper fraction or/and to express a proper fraction as a sum of partial fractions (b) then to find the indefinite integral whose integrand is the function given in (a) © and at last to evaluate a definite integral having the same integrand as the integrand of the integral given in (b). The first eight sections contain problems that require using of partial fraction decomposition only. The next four sections include problems that require using long division only and in the last four sections students need to use both methods of integration in combination. ◈ One of the examples require using a substitution to be integrated by partial fraction decomposition.

nikimathnikimath

Finding Limits Analytically - 8 Task Cards (2 problems per card)

(0)
There are two problems (A and B questions) on each of the 8 cards. Question A is to evaluate a limit analytically and Question B is to prove a limit’s equality. Half of the cards are 8 questions asking students to find the limits of rational and involving radicals functions as x approaches infinity. The other half of the cards contains limits where x approaches a finite number. Students are to find the limits of rational functions, functions involving radicals and trigonometric functions (some of which use the “special Limits" ( sin x /x, (1 - cos x)/ x^2)) . The limits in this activity can all be found without L’Hopital’s rule. The cards can be used as a partner or a group activity or as a review. There is a student recording sheet included. Answer keys are provided.
Radical Equations (Which ONE doesn't have the same solution as the others?)- Group Activity
nikimathnikimath

Radical Equations (Which ONE doesn't have the same solution as the others?)- Group Activity

(0)
This activity is designed to be used for groups of 4, 3 and/or 2 members. It practices: • solving radical equations with one and two square roots • solving linear and quadratic equations • checking for extraneous solutions The radical equations contain: a monomial and/or a binomial under a radical symbol a radical expression on one side of the equation and a monomial or a binomial on the other side radical expressions on one side and respectively on the both sides of the equations (“radical equals radical”) Most of the equations require rearranging and isolating the radical and the rest are set up to square both sides. All the equations require squaring once. Activity Directions: Partners will each have their own set of eight problems of various difficulty. They reduce them to linear or quadratics and continue solving by any method they choose. Students write down the solutions of the problems on the recording sheet provided. They are instructed to check for extraneous solutions. Partners record their answers in tables on a group response sheet designed in such a way that students can analyze and compare their results easily. They must verify that all equations actually have the same solution except only one which has two distinct roots. I called this special equation “black sheep equation” and it is the equation B8. It can not be simply found without checking for extraneous solutions. All answer keys are provided. I hope your students enjoy searching for the “black sheep” and have fun with this activity.
