reviews trig.

Nov 2/3 5-5 / 5-6 5-5: 7,11,13-18, 19, 23 Reminders of relevant

basic problems 5-6: 1,10,11,15,19,26 theorems from geometry.

vectors.
Derive angle between vectors
from LOC.
Orthogonal
Use to find projections.
● don’t do example 5
(decomposition to an
arbitrary angle)
Physics applications:
definitions of work and directed

Nov 12/13 6-4 6-4: 1-6, 7-29odd, 35-38, Polar forms are not unique.
 45-48 Connect to unit circle.
End of class quiz Converting is just like with
on 6-1 / 6-2 vectors.
Most work will be on converting
equations. Polar functions may
not be cartesian functions and
vise versa.
Polar form graphing on GC

Nov 16/17 6-6 6-6: 1-17 odd, 27, 29, 31-37 Intro polar form of imaginary
