  • use translations, reflections, and dilations to write rules and graph new functions from parent functions.

  • combine two functions using the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

  • analyze graphs of polynomial functions using the zeros, local maxima and minima, and end behavior.

  • identify rational functions given the equation or a graph.

  • find horizontal and vertical asymptotes of rational functions.

  • graph exponential functions.

  • recognize and graph logarithmic functions with any base.

  • use exponential growth and decay functions to model and solve real-life problems.

  • solve real-life problems involving right triangles.

  • add, subtract, multiply, and find the magnitude of the vector algebraically.

  • use angles to model and solve real-life problems involving arc length, areas of sectors, linear speed, and angular speed.

  • use the unit circle to graph the sine and cosine function identifying their domains and ranges.

  • use trigonometric functions to model and solve real-life problems.

  • write a trigonometric equation in the form of an inverse relation.

  • multiply and divide complex numbers written in polar form.
