Students study families of functions including: linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, rational, and radical functions. Students extend the domain of trigonometric functions using the unit circle and model periodic phenomena with trigonometric functions. Other topics include: complex numbers, interpreting categorical/quantitative data and using regression to interpret data. A graphing calculator is encouraged but not required for this course. Students will learn enough trigonometry in this class to be prepared to take AP Physics 1 the following year.
