WOW! What a PACKAGE. Another option is printing portions of this exam as separate assessments and classwork/homework assignments.
This 8-page exam which also comes with a topics list study guide/ reference sheet is also amazing for those who are teaching this for the first time because of my STEP-by-STEP answer keys.
NOTE: Answer Key also includes a break-down of points for grading.
Part 1: Limits
- Evaluating limits by looking at a function’s graph and its equation
- Know the definitions of continuity vs. discontinuity at a given point or over a specific interval.
- Determine the type of discontinuity by looking at a function’s graph (point, jump, infinite, or endpoint)
- Know removable(point) vs. non-removable (infinite, jump, & endpoint) discontinuity
- Know how to remove a point discontinuity; or determining the value which makes the function continuous at that point (find the limit of the simplified function)
- Know factoring skills – greatest common factor, quadratics, & by grouping.
- Given a function equation, be able to determine any discontinuities (denominator cannot equal to zero) as well as any vertical or horizontal asymptotes
- Know how to graph a piecewise function
Part 2: Polar and Rectangular Coordinates
- Be able to graph a real polar coordinate when r > 0 and when r < 0
- Know the entire unit circle!
- Be able to convert a real rectangular coordinate to a real polar coordinate and vice versa
Part 3: Parametric Equations
- Be able to sketch a set of parametric equations. Be able to show a table of values.
- Be able to eliminate the parameter of a non-trigonometric set of parametric equations
Part 4: Sequences and Series
- Find the explicit & recursive formulas of a geometric and arithmetic sequence.
- Be able to rewrite a series using sigma notation.
- Be able to find the partial sum of an infinite series using sigma on your calculator.
