MPI Pre-Calculus

The following learning targets represent the major concepts studied and assessed in this course.

Students will be able to evaluate functions, graph functions, and analyze the graphs of functions. In particular, a student will be able to perform these tasks for linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and piecewise-defined functions.
Students will understand and be able to calculate slope and rates of change at a level of proficiency sufficient for success in calculus.
Students will understand the relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions, demonstrate proficiency with the properties of logarithms, and use logarithms to solve exponential equations, and vice versa.
Students will understand the definitions of the six basic trigonometric functions, use these functions to solve simple geometry problems, make use of basic trigonometric identities, solve equations involving these functions.
Students will be able to perform various aspects of mathematical modeling using functions.
