Taylor Reflection #11

This week was okay i guess
im still trying very hard to catch up on what i missed
i am facing the dreded chapter seven test this week
and im very nervous because although i got to review with the class i didnt get to experience any quizes of this chapter or hear and learn the information first hand
i think i might just be okay
i have learned and memorized all the formulas and rules
however im still trying to practice the application of the rules and formulas
and whats funny is i completely understand chapter nine
i guess it will all come down to doing all the problems the book has to offer and hoping for the best

what i definitely understand is the trig chart and i also made up a quick way to remember it
what i also know is the methods
such as what the variables for the four word problem formulas stand for

R- radius
((distance will mean radius))
S- arc length
Theta- angle
(( apparent size will mean Theta)
K- area of a sector

Take the word problems slowly
take the time necessary to discover what is given in the problem and work step by step from there
just tell your self there is a way to solve this problema and it cant be too hard



what i think i need help on will really be the key way for recognizing which problem will be worked with which method.
any tricks to help me decipher when i take the test would be awesome

Thanks!
