Description

Objective:

The course objective is to examine a variety of functions including quadratic, absolute value, piecewise, step, rational, radical, polynomial, and exponential. For all functions, students will be shown how to solve for key values, graph each type, and work within the necessary domain. The course also introduces students to a variety of statistics and probability topics, including sequences, series, finding probabilities, normal distributions, surveys, and experiments.

Learning Outcomes:

  • solve and graph quadratics
  • solve and graph higher-order polynomials, rational, radical, exponential, and logarithmic functions
  • apply the unit circle to find the exact solutions for trig functions
  • create the formula and find terms for arithmetic and geometric sequences and series
  • Solve and graph quadratics
  • Solve and graph higher-order polynomials, rational, radical, exponential, and logarithmic functions
  • Add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational expressions
  • Find the inverse of a function
  • Graph absolute value, piece-wise, sine, and cosine functions
  • Apply the unit circle to find the exact solutions for trig functions
  • Find and graph the equations for circles and parabolas
  • Create the formula and find terms for arithmetic and geometric sequences and series
  • Find the probability for given situations; analyze data to find statistical measures and make inferences
  • add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational expressions
  • find the inverse of a function
  • graph absolute value, piece-wise, sine, and cosine functions
