Learning Objectives and Outcomes

- Using important and appropriate information (such as symmetry, asymptotes, period, amplitude, etc.), graph several types of functions, including exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric functions. Graph and write equations of con
- Solve a variety of types of equations, including rational and trigonometric, and solve systems of linear and non-linear equations by substitution and addition.
- Perform Polynomial Long Division and Synthetic Division, locate real zeros of polynomials, use the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, determine end behavior, find horizontal and vertical asymptotes, and graph polynomials.
- Locate angles, convert between degree and radian measures, find reference angles, and operate with the six trigonometric functions and their definitions, including knowing their values for the primary angles (0, 30, 45, 60, and 90 degrees and their radian
- Find the values of all trig functions when given a point or the value of one trigonometric function and a quadrant, use reference angles, co-functions, reciprocal functions, identities, and use sum and difference identities to find values of trigonometric
- Plot points given their polar coordinates. Convert Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates and from polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates. Rewrite equations in polar and rectangular coordinates. Graph polar equations. Write complex numbers in tr
- Determine terms of explicit and recursive sequences. Evaluate sums by converting from summation notation to expanded form. Evaluate partial sums arithmetic and geometric sequences. Evaluate infinite geometric series.
