Course description

Precalculus explores a wide variety of mathematical concepts with the goal of preparing students for calculus or other college-level math courses. A review of number properties; factoring; the quadratic formula; and the Cartesian coordinate system will prepare students for advanced math concepts. Students will use graphing calculators to plot graphs and solve equations. Students will learn to solve a variety of problems including parent functions; transformations; even and odd functions; domain and range; operations; linear functions; regression; correlation; quadratic functions; polynomials; asymptotes; and exponential; logistic; and logarithmic functions. Trigonometric studies include angle measurement; arc length; functions; reciprocal and quotient identities; Pythagorean identities; sines; and cosines. Sequences and series precede inquiries into the characteristics and applications of conic sections and vectors. The course concludes with an investigation into parametric equations and polar equations.†
