DEV project by Ally and James

 

Summary:

James: This class seemed to be easier than functions last trimester. The DEV project was easy to think up ideas with the graphing and the identities to chase from. The graphing and the identities were the easier part of the class to remember compared to remember the entire unit circle with all of the radians and the degrees. The unit circle would have been easy to write up but the steps to make it would take a couple days to type up and find a unit circle to use for the DEV project.


Ally: I decided to choose these units because at first they were difficult for me. I was so used to using a calculator and adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing radians was something I wasn't used to without a calculator. towards the end of the units it got very easy for me to be able to do this. I also choose these units because it reminded me of what I did in Algebra 2b, and I was very familiar with the unit circle and still have it memorized since that class. This DEV project has expanded and enhanced my knowledge on the Trig. identities and proving those, and graphing and figuring out my own way to make graphs and there inverse functions as well. This class has challenged me with the idea that you don't need to rely on a calculator, and that the brain can do a lot more than what you even think. I'm very glad I took this class and I hope to continue on in math pass this year.
