To Clarify

For everyone that was absent on Thurs. Friday was NOT a continuation. It was new for everyone. Thurs we continued to work with the first derivative test, went over differentiability (which does not pertain to Friday's notes) and worked on justifications. The homework was not based on Friday's notes. None of the problems ask you for concavity. It has to do with the first derivative test. However, you have to justify all of your answers. This is so I can get an idea and give you pointers on your justifications NOW so that you don't fail the test on Thurs.

Also as I said in class... blogs are cumulative. You must write a minimum of 250 words. If you didn't understand something from this week then you can reference past material. The idea is that you are looking through your notes once a week and asking questions on things you find you don't understand and explaining something you do. You should not repost my notes. It should be in your own words. You should not summarize the week or complain. If you are having trouble getting the word count work an example problem along with your explanation. NOT the one that I did but one from homework or somewhere else. Especially since there is a quiz on Monday I would expect that there will be plenty of questions as people go through their notes from the whole year and plenty of explanations from the topics throughout the year so far.
