• Functions and Graphs: Covers function properties, transformations, inverses, and graphing techniques. Essential for understanding mathematical relationships and modeling.
• Polynomial and Rational Functions: Focuses on quadratic, cubic, and rational functions, their graphs, zeros, and asymptotes. Critical for algebraic manipulation and problem-solving.
• Exponential and Logarithmic Functions: Explores exponential growth/decay, logarithmic properties, and their applications. Key for understanding rates of change and calculus prerequisites.
• Trigonometric Functions: Includes sine, cosine, tangent, their graphs, identities, and applications like the unit circle. Fundamental for calculus involving periodic phenomena.
• Complex Numbers: You'll learn how to perform operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) with complex numbers and understand their role in solving certain quadratic and polynomial equations that don't have real solutions.
•  Parametric Equations: Examines parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas, and parametric forms. Important for understanding geometric properties and calculus applications.
