Math doesn’t have to be boring or hard. With me I’ll make sure you have a great time learning and I’ll teach you tricks to make calculations easier.

The Tutor and Student worked together to solve word problems involving exponential growth and decay and practiced simplifying logarithmic expressions using various log rules. They also reviewed how to condense and expand logarithmic expressions. The student clarified a misunderstanding about a cosine function problem.

The Student reviewed exponential decay, logarithms, sequences, and quadratic equations in preparation for an exam. They worked through problems involving exponential decay factors, converting between logarithmic and exponential forms, writing recursive and explicit formulas, and solving quadratic word problems. The session also covered end behavior of polynomial functions and graphing.

The Student reviewed trigonometric identities and practiced simplifying complex trigonometric expressions in preparation for an upcoming test. The session also covered identifying the period, amplitude, and vertical translation of trigonometric graphs. The Tutor suggested focusing on key identities and specific problem-solving techniques, as well as preparing a comprehensive cheat sheet for the open-book test.

The student reviewed polynomial functions and factoring techniques in preparation for a test. They worked through problems involving x-intercepts, leading coefficients, end behavior, and the quadratic formula. The session concluded with a brief discussion of asymptotes and a plan to continue reviewing additional questions in the next session.

The session involved a review of polynomial functions, including finding degrees and intercepts, applying the remainder theorem, and factoring polynomials using synthetic division. The Student practiced these concepts through several problems, working with the Tutor to correct errors and reinforce understanding. The next session will continue from the remaining questions.

The Student practiced simplifying logarithmic expressions and solving logarithmic equations, with an emphasis on identifying restrictions and extraneous roots. The tutor provided step-by-step guidance on applying logarithmic properties and converting between logarithmic and exponential forms. The session concluded with additional practice problems assigned to further reinforce these concepts.
