This week we finished up summarizing 6.1 and dove into section 6.4. As you can see we skipped section 6.3 because it is not tested in the AP calculus exam. When we first started working on section 6.4 that dealt with solving anti-derivatives with x and y values in the equation, I thought it was quite simple. However as we worked more with this section the problems started to get more complicated. The reason I thought these problems were complicated was because it included a lot of algebra skills involving expotentionals, like ln and e to be able to solve the equations. In order to help me with the steps in solving down to the solution I found slader to be a big help. Slader, was able to show me a full explanation in simplifying the algebra and trigonometric problems. This section in particular connects well with the rest of the units we have learned because it evolves us to use all our anti-derivative and integrating skills to solve. For example the only difference in section 6.4 than the other sections that dealt with integrating for the anti-derivative is simply that there are two variables. With these two variables you must get the x's and the y's on separate sides and then derive it after that, so the dx variable gets cancelled out. Next week I believe we will be reviewing more for chapter 6 before we take the test and jump into Chapter 7. For next week, I need to get more comfortable with solving problems that deal with ln or e. Overall, I thought my participation went well this week in the CCC groups even though I was absent on today, this Friday.
