Review Presentation
    Download the following powerpoint file, and view it as a powerpoint show. The presentation may have some interactive questions so if it asks you to enable macros you can. There are three types of slides – those with some review information, those with examples, and those with practice problems. You should try the practice problems as you encounter them – following the presentation of the problems you will be shown the answer (so complete the problem before you see the answer).
  • Review-01 [PowerPoint show]

Calculator Reference
    A copy of the Calculator Reference will be provided. You may bring additional notes about how to use the calculator functions.

Multiple Choice
    Topics for Multiple Choice Questions (20 - 25 questions)
  • Polar Graph questions - you should be able to plug the equations into your calculator and view a graph. If you know how the parameters in the calculator will change the graph then you may be able to answer the questions without graphing the equations.
  • Converting between degrees, radians, interpreting items marked on a circle or unit circle
  • Parametric equations and their applications, projectile questions
  • Complex numbers - just a few questions since we would have just taken a test on complex numbers
  • Vectors (Section 5.6 in the online textbook) and Component Vectors (Section 5.6 in the online textbook)
  • Classify Triangles
Short Answer /Open Response
    From Mr. Brennan, Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School
    A list of the individual pages are listed below with the number of questions per page. Each page will be in a format that you have seen before. There is some overlap between these resources.
  • Solving Right Triangles, using the basic trig functions and their inverse functions (10 problems)
  • Solving triangles where you have to decide how (Pythagorean Theorem, Law of Sines, Law of Cosines) (5 problems)
  • Selected problems from quiz 1 Law of Sines, Law of Cosines and solving triangles.
  • Navigation problems with triangle questions asking for specific angle or side measures. (5 questions)
  • Basic Trig functions, degrees and radian conversion, first quarter topics. (10 questions)
  • Law-of-Sines.pdf: Apply the Law of Sines to solve problems (5 problems)
  • Here are other practice files you should be able to solve:
    • Page 1From Chapter 9 from the Algebra II book, not the online textbook
    • Page 2 From Chapter 9
    • Excel verification problems. The you were to solve using your Excel spreadsheets - the practice here is to identify which sheet to use. Look closely at the problems sometimes the smallest change will change the way the problem can be solved.
