Meets G1 in Rm 23
Course Overview
The objective of a Pre Calculus College Prep Course is to give students a foundation for further study of mathematics and/or science. Topics include in depth study of domain, range, extrema, inverses, interval of increase and decrease pertaining to linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions. Students will apply the functions to problem situations, solve and graph equations of each function type. A graphing calculator is required and a TI
