Finishing Chapter 3

The last two sections of Chapter 3 deal with inverses and our need to find the slopes of inverse functions.  Section 3.8 deals with inverse functions in general and inverse trig functions specifically. Section 3.9 deals with exponential functions and their inverses, logarithmic functions.  Here is the homework for the rest of the chapter.

Day 1  HW  read pp.157-158, do Exploration 1
Day 2  HW  finish classwork plus p.162-163/5-19 odd, 20,21,33
