Catalog description

This course covers an in-depth study of higher level functions from an algebraic approach. Students will determine intercepts, solutions, and behaviors of the following functions: quadratics, natural log, exponential, functions of higher degree and trigonometric functions. In addition, the course will go over the relationship between logarithmic and power equations discussing various properties that apply to each in order to explore the relationship between the two. The course will also cover the unit circle and trigonometry. Students will use trigonometry to solve problems dealing with right triangles, as well as non-right triangles, in order to understand how the trigonometric functions interact with each other. The course format will include investigations with hands-on activities, concepts, and applications. Course work will consist of daily homework and test/quizzes when appropriate.
