Lessons

1

Perform the vector operations of addition, scalar multiplication, and absolute value. 14

2

Define e using the limit forms of , , and . 3

3

Graph conic sections, including parabolas, hyperbolas, ellipses, circles, and degenerate conics, from second-degree equations. 6
4

Analyze the graphs of rational, logarithmic, exponential, trigonometric, and piecewise-defined functions by determining the domain and range; identifying any vertical, horizontal, or oblique asymptotes; and classifying the function as increasing or decreasing, continuous or discontinuous, and noting the type of discontinuity if one exists.

5 Analyze the effects of parameter changes on the graphs of trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions. 14
6 Apply the laws of logarithms to simplify expressions and to solve equations using common logarithms, natural logarithms, and logarithms with other bases. 9
7 Solve trigonometric equations and inequalities using sum, difference, and half- and double-angle identities. 5
8 Use parametric equations to represent real-life and mathematical situations. 4
9 Solve applied problems involving sequences with recurrence relations. 13
10 Find limits of functions at specific values and at infinity numerically, algebraically, and graphically. 4
11 Convert coordinates, equations, and complex numbers in Cartesian form to polar form and from polar form to Cartesian form. 7
12 Determine the equation of a curve of best fit from a set of data by using exponential, quadratic, or logarithmic functions. 5
