Have a great summer!  I'll be here if you need anything!

D.E.V. - Tyler Guy & Aaron Gregory

This is the D.E.V. Project for both Tyler Guy and myself (Aaron Gregory). The project reflections are at the end of the video.

well here's my D.E.V.

Savannah And Corie's DEV

Corie's Reflection: This is the second DEV project that I've done, and I found this one to be a lot simpler. Same amount of problems and same basic way of showing it, but since I had figured out prior to doing this how to put it together, it cut my work time down a lot! But still these were some difficult problems to come up with, and I came up with about fifteenth problems total for this project just because I wanted options. I feel as if this project helped me understand these units more and I really enjoyed applying one of my favorite t.v. shows to a school project. Although I would never want to do another DEV project, ever.

Savannah's Reflection:  Out of the two DEV projects I've done this one seems to be a lot easier than the other one. For this project we did the problems before hand instead of doing them the dame day we worked on the power point which made things much easier in the long run.  Some of the problems we did where ones that we ourselves had trouble with or that the whole class had troubles with.  This project always seems to help me understand some of them problems a little better and helps me when i get to the exam as well because we spent so long figuring them out that it stuck in my brain.  This project was a success like that last one.  

D.E.V. By: Paige Miller and Nick Hudgins

This project was just as much work from the first time. I loved doing it yet again. Only this time I had a partner. Which was awesome. It helped me so much. Because we did problems that I was having trouble with. I like doing this project it helps a lot. Especially studying for the exam. -Paige Miller

I have never done a project like this. It was new to me. Yes it was a lot of work don't get me wrong but I loved doing it. We did a whole bunch of different kind of problems. I loved creating them! I hope you enjoy! This theme is one of my favorite TV shows. -Nick Hudgins

My reflection: I chose problems and concepts 

that I feel I best understand. Problems I believr I could assist others with. To be quite honest there is much about this class I do not fully understand. So I worked with what I had. What I learned while creating this project os little more about why I get the answers that I do rather than just getting some odd number and rolling with it.  I struggled slightly because of the lack of structure in this DEV. I guess I found I work best with more guidelines or rules. Although I do thoroughly enjoy the creative freedom.

Unit 1 - Measurement

Find the exact value of each trigonomic function.

The first step is to get csc θ by itself:

-8 –8csc θ = -24

Add 8 to both sides of the equal sign

-8csc θ = -16

Divide both sides by -8

 csc θ = 2

Change to sine

1/sin θ =2

Move sine to numerator

sin θ = ½

Look on unit circle to see where sin is ½

Θ = π/6 , 5π/6

Unit 2 – Graphing

To describe a transformation, you will first need to understand the different variables of a graph and what they do.

The formula:

          y = a * cosb ( θ – h) +k

a = rate/amplitude                                      h = horizontal shift

b = horizontal stretch/shrink             k = vertical shift

When given the problem:     y = 4sin (θ - 3π/2) + 6

The 4 is your “a” value, therefore, the amplitude is 4.

There is a right shift of 3π/4

The graph shifts up 6

All of this can be determined from looking at the equation and matching up the variables.

Unit 3 – Identities

Problem: cosθ/secθ + sinθ/cscθ

First, convert everything into sine and cosine.

= cosθ/(1/cosθ) + sinθ/ (1/sinθ)

= cos²θ + sin²θ

= 1

The answer 1 can be found from looking at the Pythagorean Identities.

Unit 4 – Inverses

Problem: sin(cos^-1  (√3)/2)

First, find the cosine, and use that to fine the sine.

= sin(π/6)

Then, look for the sin of π/6 on the Unit Circle.

Answer: ½

I chose to do a problem from each unit because this way, everything is covered for my personal review. I really wanted to focus on the basics because I have been struggling in this class. I feel like going through the basics has actually helped me a lot more in understanding where I have made so many mistakes. Overall, I was able to understand what was going on and the project was very eye opening. When working on it by yourself, you really get a chance to see where you struggle and need to work harder at. I saw this as a very beneficial way to review because you were able to tackle what you needed to. I’m hoping that I will do a lot better on the exam than I have been on quizzes and tests.
