Immerse yourself in the world of Pre-Calculus through our engaging 6-week class. Explore fundamental topics, taking thorough notes as we tackle problems together, both as a class and individually. Reinforce your learning with handouts and homework assignments. The final 5 minutes of each session are dedicated to addressing questions and concerns. We'll also review any homework inquiries at the start of each class. Since this class is 2 hours per session, we will take a 10 minute break in between. SCHEDULE: Week 1: Composite and inverse functions Week 2: Trigonometry, including special values, identities, and solving equations Week 3: Complex numbers, covering the complex plane, modulus, and polar form Week 4: Rational functions, studying graphs, modeling, and operations Week 5: Conic sections, exploring ellipses and hyperbolas Week 6: Reserved for extra topics and comprehensive review Please note that the class pace depends on student readiness, as we strive to accommodate everyone. Homework completion is strongly encouraged to reinforce understanding and retention. I'm readily available for messaging, providing additional support, guides, and one-on-one tutoring if needed. Classes start promptly, with a 10-minute wait time. Don't miss out on this transformative learning experience—reserve your spot today! SYLLABUS: Week 1: Composite and inverse functions Composing functions Modeling with composite functions Invertible functions Inverse functions in graphs and tables Verifying inverse functions by composition Week 2: Trigonometry Special trigonometric values in the first quadrant Trigonometric identities on the unit circle Inverse trigonometric functions Law of sines Law of cosines Solving general triangles Sinusoidal equations Sinusoidal models Angle addition identities Using trigonometric identities Week 3: Complex numbers The complex plane Distance and midpoint of complex numbers Complex conjugates and dividing complex numbers Identities with complex numbers Modulus (absolute value) and argument (angle) of complex numbers Polar form of complex numbers Graphically multiplying complex numbers Multiplying and dividing complex numbers in polar form The fundamental theorem of algebra Week 4: Rational functions Reducing rational expressions to lowest terms End behavior of rational functions Discontinuities of rational functions Graphs of rational functions Modeling with rational functions Multiplying and dividing rational expressions Adding and subtracting rational expressions Week 5: Conic sections Introduction to conic sections Center and radii of an ellipse Foci of an ellipse Introduction to hyperbolas Foci of a hyperbola Hyperbolas not centered at the origin Week 6: Left for extra time for topics / review
Learning Goals
