As has recently been the case with these lessons that cover review material for the final exam, we will check 10 problems for accuracy in order to determine the score for the lesson. The lesson is therefore worth 10 points as compared to the customary 4 points.

All of the preceding problems are drawn from chapter 3 and are part of our ongoing effort to re-familiarize ourselves with content in anticipation of our course final exam in June.

ALSO

Early next week you will have a quiz on lessons 10-4 to 10-6 covering the Pythagorean Theorem, Distance Formula and Similar Triangles. Be advised that a good source of potential questions are your class notes, in particular the PTP questions I asked for each lesson. Later in the week we will have a summative assessment on all of chapter 10.
