With this fun and engaging answer pass activity, students will practice adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing complex numbers (includes rationalizing the denominator by multiplying by the conjugate). Students use each previous answer to find the next answer when working on the problems in a practice sheet.
There are five practice sheets each containing 10 challenging problems. Practice sheet A is adding complex numbers, Practice sheet B is subtracting, Practice sheet C is multiplying, Practice sheet D is dividing complex numbers and Practice sheet E is performing operations with complex numbers and simplifying complex number expressions.
The activity can be used individually or in groups.
Answer keys are included.

In this 16 questions - partner activity, students apply L’Hospital’s Rule to evaluate limits. There are included the following indeterminate forms - 0/0, infinity / infinity, infinity minus infinity, zero ⨯ infinity, zero^zero, infinity^zero and 1^infinity. The functions included are polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, trig and inverse trig functions.
Each partner has his own set of 8 problems. Partners will use L’Hospital’s Rule to evaluate their first two limits directly. They will need to manipulate to make zero/zero or infinity/infinity and then to apply L’Hospital’s Rule to evaluate the next six limits.
► THE FORM of the limit and THE ANSWER of each of Partner’s A problems are THE SAME as the form of the limit and the answer of each Partner’s B corresponding problem.
(Problems A1 and B1 are corresponding, so as problems A2 and B2 and so on).
Students are instructed to show all work and check whether their results match.

This is an engaging and collaborative partner activity for analyzing and sketching graphs of polynomial and rational functions using calculus. Students will use limits, first and second derivatives to provide information about function behavior and then sketch the graph of the function.
Activity Directions: Students are given five sections to work through. In each section partners are given two functions of the same type to identify their features (intercepts, asymptotes, intervals of increase and decrease, local maximum and minimum points, intervals of concave up and concave down, inflection points). After finding all the important parameters students are asked to draw a graph of the function.
▸The functions of a section differ only by coefficients so partners obtain similar results and graphs with the same shape.
Students are provided recording/response sheets with a number of steps of the general algorithm for investigation of functions, rooms to record their results and coordinates grids where each axis labeled using an appropriate scale as dictated by the problem so sketching to become easier.
This product can be also used as a group activity, for collaborative learning, for enrichment and extra practice, as independent practice and homework assignment.
Detailed typed answer keys are included. All the graphs are drawn as well.
BONUS: I have included 4 additional sections for extra practice or enrichment.
(These are without answer keys.)
