Course Overview:
This course enables students to extend their knowledge of functions. Students will
investigate and apply properties of polynomial, exponential, and trigonometric
functions; continue to represent functions numerically, graphically, and algebraically;
develop facility in simplifying expressions and solving equations; and solve problems
that address applications of algebra, trigonometry, vectors, and geometry. Students
will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step
problems. This course prepares students for a variety of college technology programs.
Curriculum Strands and Overall Expectations:
EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
1. solve problems involving exponential equations graphically, including problems arising from
real-world applications;
2. solve problems involving exponential equations algebraically using common bases and logarithms,
including problems arising from real-world applications.
POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
1. recognize and evaluate polynomial functions, describe key features of their graphs, and solve
problems using graphs of polynomial functions;
2. make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of polynomial
functions;
3. solve polynomial equations by factoring, make connections between functions and formulas, and
solve problems involving polynomial expressions arising from a variety of applications.
TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
1. determine the values of the trigonometric ratios for angles less than 360º, and solve problems using
the primary trigonometric ratios, the sine law, and the cosine law;
2. make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of sinusoidal
functions;
3. demonstrate an understanding that sinusoidal functions can be used to model some periodic
phenomena, and solve related problems, including those arising from real-world applications.
APPLICATIONS OF GEOMETRY
By the end of this course, students will:
1. represent vectors, add and subtract vectors, and solve problems using vector models, including those
arising from real-world applications;
2. solve problems involving two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional figures and arising from
real-world applications;
3. determine circle properties and solve related problems, including those arising from real-world
applications.
