Need a tutor-here's a list of tutors
There are lots of tutors available at the math lab who do private sessions.

a message from the math lab
Hello math students,
I am Taylor Kroff, the head T.A. for the lower division math classes. I
work in the math lab. If you donÂ’t know what the Math Lab is, it is
located in the north-west corner of the Talmage building on the first
floor, in room 159 (itÂ’s a very large room with many tables). During all
open hours, there are tutors that roam and assist students that need help
with their homework (youÂ’ll know them by their blue vests). ItÂ’s a great
place to come and do your math homework, or just study for tests. The math
lab is open almost all day throughout the week, and on Saturday mornings.
If you want to know the specific hours, go to:
https://math.byu.edu/home/mathlab
Throughout the semester, I will assign different tutors from the math lab
to hold reviews, to help you get ready for your midterms and final exams.
There will be one or two reviews before each test you take, and the
reviews will cover the same material that will be on the test. You will
all be emailed the specific information about each review (time, location,
etc.), several days before they take place. And I will be putting up
fliars in the math lab as well, to let you know where and when they are.
If you feel you need one-on-one assistance in your math courses, you can
personally hire a private tutor. Go to the same Math Lab website [listed
above] and scroll down to the very bottom of the page. Click on “Private
Tutor List” to get a long list of talented tutors and their contact
information.
Have a fun semester!

Win Candy-you know you want some
For those of you that attended Friday's Help session. I have your guesses for the M&M's in the jar. I am going to have the competition for another week or two so more people have a chance to guess. So this friday, if you want a chance to win "x" number of m&M's come to the help session and guess how many pieces are in the jar. The help session is every friday from 1-4 pm in 173 TMCB.

4.3 Warmups--Answers will be given in class on Thurs
4.3 Warmups
We will be spending 2 days on Rational Functions. In class on Thurs, I will review Polynomial Functions and then go over 4.3 in class (Day 1 of 2 of Rational Functions). Please read through the textbook, watch videos, and go through the lecture notes -powerpoint is attached at the bottom.
Key terms: asymptotes, unbounded, improper, rational function
Objectives: find asymptotes in order to prepare for graphing, review polynomial long division
Answer the following True False questions.
1. T/F: The quotient of two polynomial expressions is a polynomial function.
2. T/F: To graph y = -x^2 you would reflect the graph of y = x^2 over the x axis.
3. T/F: The domain of every rational function is the set of all real numbers.
4. T/F: If an asymptote is neither horizontal nor vertical, it is called oblique.
5. T/F: If the degree of the numerator of a rational function equals the degree of the denominator, then the ratio of the leading coefficients gives rise to the horizontal asymptote.
6. T/F: If the graph of a rational function R has the vertical asymptote x = 4, then x-4 must be in the denominator.
7. T/F: No graph of a rational function can have both a horizontal and an oblique asymptotes.
8. T/F: It is possible to have a graph of a rational function with both vertical and horizontal asymptotes.
9. T/F: The graphs of rational functions are smooth and continuous.
10. T/F: The domain of rational functions is the set of all real numbers.

I’ve decided to post the answers at the beginning of class in order to encourage you all to complete the Warmups.
It would help if you studied the section in advance so we can go through the harder problems in class rather than introducing the material. Here is the powerpoint. If you could go through it before class then I could do more board work.
PowerPoint here
Please prepare for class by going through the questions above, watching section videos from petesblog and looking over the powerpoint to get some notes.
4.2 class notes

Here is the link for the handout on polynomial function and the powerpoint we used in class. It appears that the copy is a bit off when I converted it into a google doc, just disregard the parts that look like gibberish. I will try to fix that.
Watch video here http://petesmath110.blogspot.com/
I still need to finish up the section so we can graph the polynomial functions.
