Prepaze Academy’s Precalculus curriculum serves to perfect your student’s algebra and geometry skills in preparation for the Calculus course. Calculus is a college course, so the advanced mathematics in this course will require a solid understanding of all algebra skills. This course will cover many similar topics to those in Algebra 2 but will go over them in greater detail.
What you'll learn
Unit 1 - Review the concepts of functions, graphing and transforming functions, combinations of functions, and inverse functions.
Unit 2 - Apply formulas to solve quadratic functions, work with polynomial functions with higher degrees, find the zeros of polynomial functions, work with complex numbers, and graph and solve rational functions.
Unit 3 - Work with exponential and logarithmic functions and graphs, evaluate the properties of logarithms, and solve exponential and logarithmic equations.
Unit 4 - Understand the difference between radian and degree measures, the unit circle, right triangle trigonometry, graphs of trig functions, and inverse trigonometric functions.
Unit 5 - Apply fundamental trigonometric identities, solve trig equations, and use advanced identities to prove trig relations.
Unit 6 - Learn the applications of the law of sines and cosines, vectors in a coordinate plane, dot products, and using complex numbers in trigonometric forms.
Unit 7 - Perform operations and solve systems of equations using matrices, solve multi-variable linear equations, and determine the determinant and inverse of a matrix.
Unit 8 - Develop your understanding of sequences and series, and learn about partial sums, the binomial theorem, counting principles, and probability.
Unit 9 - Continue working with conic sections including parabolas, hyperbolas, ellipses, and circles, and work with parametric equations and polar coordinates.
Unit 10 - Get introduced to the 3-dimensional coordinate plane, work with vectors, and learn to find the cross product of two vectors.
Unit 11 - Learn about the fundamentals of limits, tangent lines, limits at infinity, and limits of sequence.
