In this activity, Marcel again focused on determining the length of curved paths using integration. This formula of integration came from and is derived from differentials used in estimation.
In this activity, Marcel used integration to determine the length of a curved line. Theses are very difficult to solve so a graphing calculator with the integral app has to be used.
I worked with Marcel to get a clear understanding of his website project. I gathered a series of information to assist in determining needed pages and the best layout to showcase Marcel's achievements.
In this activity, Marcel worked on Integration of and improper integrals that have an infinite limit of integration. At the same time he worked on improper integrals that have an infinite discontinuity.
In this activity, Marcel continued his work solving integration problems by using the technique called Parts. It is again, a technique that is the antiderivative of the product and quotient rules.
In this activity, Marcel focused on integration by parts which is really the antiderivative of the product and quotient rule. We will be on this topic for at least two more sessions.
We continued solving SAT problems. This time, we spoke about solving a cubic by grouping and using the rational zeros theorem. We found sums and products of zeros of quadratics, and the relationship between coefficients of a quadratic given a point on the parabola.
We discussed measures of central tendency. Marcel thought it would be best for him to continue working on his statistics course alone. He is free to schedule a tutor session on an as-needed basis.
We worked through the "no-calculator" part of an SAT test. Marcel was enthusiastic and showed good lateral thinking by exploring alternative ways of solving problems.
