| Course Description: |
| | Integrated Math III/Precalculus Honors is a course that
integrates advanced algebra concepts with precalculus
concepts in order to prepare students for AP Calculus. It
aims to apply and extend what students have learned in
previous courses by focusing on finding connections
between multiple representations of functions,
transformations of different function families, finding
zeros of polynomials, including complex numbers, and
connecting them to graphs and equations of
polynomials, and their inverses. Students will explore
the role of randomness and the normal distribution in
making statistical conclusions. Students will investigate
analytic geometry. Students will be examining
exponential and logarithmic functions, including
inverses, modeling periodic phenomena with
trigonometry, using analytic trigonometry, including law
of sines and cosines, as well as trigonometric identities. |
