In this course, students will continue their study of mathematical concepts. Students will explore concepts related to introductory trigonometry and graphs, trigonometric equations and identities, analytical trigonometry, conic sections, and an introduction to calculus. This course includes a focus on graphing functions and understanding and identifying parts of a graph. A scientific and/or graphics calculator is recommended for work on assignments, and on examinations.
Major topics include:
How graphs of trigonometric functions model real-world phenomena
Solving right triangle problems with trigonometric ratio and the Unit Circle
Modeling numeric patterns with explicit or recursive functions
Formulas used to find sums of numbers
Similarities and differences between equations of conic sections
Limits and continuity are essential to calculus
Students learn through online lesson activities, videos, and interactive activities. Modules contain a variety of lessons, which conclude with a brief self-check and module exam. The course concludes with a cumulative exam.
This paced course uses content from Accelerate taught by a VHS Learning instructor who is certified in their content area and who follows VHS Learning policies. The course will be hosted in the Buzz learning management system. The course will include a variety of individual assignments and projects, as well as class discussions.
