1st Trimester Essential Outcomes

  1. Use mathematical (numerical, graphical, and algebraic) models to solve real-world problems, draw conclusions, and make predictions.
  2. Analyze function characteristics such as domain, range, extreme values, symmetry, continuity, asymptotes, and end behavior
  3. Recognize and/or sketch graphs of the basic functions (linear, quadratic, cubic, square root, absolute value, reciprocal, sine, cosine, exponential, logarithmic, greatest integer, and logistic)
  4. Build new functions by adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, and composing other functions
  5. Analyze functions by decomposing them into simpler functions.
  6. Graph transformations (translations, reflections, stretches, and shrinks) and combinations of transformations for the basic functions
  7. Recognize and apply mathematical models of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions in real-world problems
  8. Use correlation coefficients to determine whether a model is appropriate.
  9. Solve inequalities involving polynomials and rational functions algebraically
  10. Solve inequalities involving polynomials and rational functions graphically using appropriate technology
  11. Evaluate exponential expressions
  12. Identify and graph exponential and logistic functions
  13. Convert equations between logarithmic and exponential forms
  14. Evaluate natural and common logarithms
  15. Rewrite logarithmic expressions using the product, quotient, power, and change of base rules of logarithms.
  16. Graph natural and common logarithmic functions
  17. Solve exponential, logistic, and logarithmic equations modeling real-world problems

2nd Trimester Essential Outcomes

  3. Define the six trigonometric functions using the lengths of the sides of a right triangle
  4. Define and sketch the graphs of the six trigonometric functions involving period change, amplitude change, phase shift, and/or vertical shift
  5. Apply the concepts of trigonometry to solve real-world problems
  6. Find values of inverse trigonometric functions, applying appropriate domain and range restrictions
  7. Use trigonometric identities to simplify trigonometric expressions and solve trigonometric equations
  8. Understand and apply the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines to solve problems
  9. Apply equations and graphs of conic sections to model real-world phenomena
  10. Demonstrate an understanding of geometric and arithmetic sequences by representing them recursively and explicitly
