Level PME 1

Course Title Pre-Calculus

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Pre-Calculus is a course that combines reviews of algebra, geometry, and functions into a preparatory
course for calculus. The course focuses on the mastery of critical skills and exposure to new skills
necessary for success in subsequent math courses. Also covers trigonometric ratios and functions;
inverse trigonometric functions; applications of trigonometry.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

When you successfully complete this course, you will be able to:

1. Recall and apply basic algebra skills without requiring a review.


2. Recall the definition of a function, basics of functions and their graphs, function operations,
and function transformations.
3. Recognize various kinds of functions (including polynomial, rational, radical, exponential,
and logarithmic functions), analyze their behavior, and use the properties of these functions
to solve equations and application problems.
4. Define trigonometric functions; understand the right triangle trigonometry and unit circle.
5. Know and apply identities involving the trigonometric functions.
6. Recognize parametric equations and polar coordinates and use them to draw graphs and plot
points.
7. Solve linear equations and inequalities and Solve quadratic equations and inequalities
