Pre-Calculus - Part 2 (Semester 2)

This class is taught in English.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES After completing Pre-Calculus - Semester 2, students will be able to: 
* Prove the Pythagorean Identity sin2(0) + cos2(0) = 1 and use it to find trigonometric functions.
* Use inverse functions to solve trigonometric equations.
* Prove addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.
* Represent a system of linear equations as a single matrix equation in a vector variable.
* Find the inverse of a matrix if it exists and use it to solve,
* Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately.
* Understand that rational expressions for a system using operations.
* Derive conic equations of parabolas, circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas.
* Recognize vector quantities as having both magnitude and direction.
* Add vectors end-to-end, component wise, and by the parallelogram rule.
* Represent complex numbers on the complex plane in rectangular and polar form.
* Represent addition, subtraction, multiplication, and conjugation of complex numbers geometrically on the complex plane.

Homework Policy 
•	Homework will be assigned during every weekly meeting.
•	and checked by me and returned as soon as possible,
•	The problems must be written on your paper and have all work shown with answers to receive credit. 
•	If you are unable to complete a problem, you must show evidence of effort. 
•	Late assignments will be accepted for reduced credit.

Assessments:
* weekly formative assessments to check for understanding including an interactive approach and a traditional paper pencil exit quiz.
* at the end of a unit students will complete a guided review, then a summative assessment.

1 hour per week in class, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.
