COURSE DESCRIPTION The content of Precalculus is organized around functions: linear relations and functions, quadratic, polynomial, and radical functions and relations, and advanced functions and relations. Students will explore functions from a Calculus perspective, understand and graph rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. They will review Algebra content involving systems of equations, matrices, and conic sections. Students will understand and graph vectors and polar coordinates. Sequences and series, both geometric and arithmetic, will be covered. In addition, students who plan on taking Calculus will discover and determine limits graphically and analytically. As students study various functions, they will learn to represent them in multiple ways––graphing calculator, equations, and graphs. To prepare for the SAT/ACT, multiple choice questions will be included daily. Technology should be included frequently involving the use of a graphing calculator.
