College Algebra and Trigonometry Project Assignment Keesha Aldridge
Project 1 (due on Mar 13) Section 3.2 Project pp. 157-8 Implicit Functions: Batteries Required? Do Exercise 12 only.
Project 2 (due on May 3) Section 6.5 Miniproject p. 479 Identities and Graphs Do (b), (c), (d) only.
General Instructions:
Scope: Show your work for and/or write up all tasks in the instructions for the problem and your assigned part, including working out parts of the instructions and prior examples or exercises mentioned in the instructions for your problem.
Writing: All projects are writing assignments. They should include, as a minimum, a description of the topic, a description of what you did to solve or do the project, and a description of the results, all in complete sentences.
Length: Each project should be long enough to carry out and describe the assigned tasks. Lengths will vary, depending on the project, from one page to six.
Graphs, Diagrams, Proofs: Give graphs or diagrams if applicable. Make sure the scales are shown on graphs (and that the scales are even), and that the scales are labeled for applied problem. Proofs should include steps and justifications.
References: Give full references to any web page (web address and organization/author and date), book (author and title and year), or other source you use to do the project.
Acknowledgements: If you work with or receive help from any other person (student, teacher, relative, friend, tutor), you should mention them by name in your project. (Otherwise using their help is cheating and/or plagiarism.) See the Review Board and Acknowledgements sections of the Preface for your text for an example. You may want to make notes of people’s names to keep track. I expect that many people in the class will/should seek advice on the longer or more difficult projects, and will have an acknowledgement section in their projects.
Grades: Projects will be graded for correctness, completeness, and expression.

References: Give full references to any web page (web address and organization/author and date), book (author and title and year), or other source you use to do the project.
Acknowledgements: If you work with or receive help from any other person (student, teacher, relative, friend, tutor), you should mention them by name in your project. (Otherwise using their help is cheating and/or plagiarism.) See the Review Board and Acknowledgements sections of the Preface for your text for an example. You may want to make notes of people’s names to keep track. I expect that many people in the class will/should seek advice on the longer or more difficult projects, and will have an acknowledgement section in their projects.
Grades: Projects will be graded for correctness, completeness, and expression.
