Welcome to Mrs. Young's calculus class blog! Each week, I will start a new post. Students, you can write questions for me or chat with each other about how to solve a particular problem. As part of your class participation grade each week, every student must comment at least once to my post or another student's comment. I look forward to spending this year with you. Enjoy!

We made it to the 4th quarter!

Welcome to week one of the 4th quarter! Your grades for the 3rd quarter are now final in MyTCS. We have made it through all of the new concepts in calculus, congratulations! You have all done a great job. For this week, I'd like you to describe in your own words one important thing that you have learned in chapter 7 and WHY it is important.

    One thing I have learned in chapter 7 is that integrals find net change, especially when related to consumption problems. It is important because it is used in everyday life, and if you are given a cost formula and a time limit, you can integrate that formula to find how many items were "consumed" over that period of time.

    On thing that i learned in CH7 is washer method. It important because it is way to get volume of thing with hole in it in real life then we can assume that how much of things we need to fill the container.

    One important thing I learned in Chapter 7 is volume in the coordinate plane. This is important because if you are given the equation of a 3D object, then you can find the area of the cross section, which means you can find the volume of it on a certain interval.

    One important thing I've learned is how to find the volume as a whole and also when it has a hole in it on the coordinate plane. This is important because it helps us find how mush space the object will take up.

    One important thing in this chapter is that there are several ways to find the volume of an object in coordinate plane. Also, the washer method was very important because it is possible free response question.

    one thing ive learned is the way to use integrals in three-dimension. I am able to find the volume of some ugly solid that I could not solve before.

    The washer method is one thing i learned in chapter 7. this was an important skill to learn because apparently there will definitely be a volume question on the AP Exam.

    One important thing in chapter 7 was finding a volume in several ways. Also we can find the volume of the donut shape (lol) with washer method. It is important because it often comes out as free response questions which takes lot of points. So we need to prepare to get a best score on this.

    One thing I learned in chapter 7 was finding volume. There were two ways to find the volume. One way is to find it by washer method, another one is find it was by geometric figure. This chapter is very important because there will be free response question which is about nine points.

    wash method，I can calculate a solid easily and I don't need to use any other foemula to calculate a Chinas volum by myself！
