Course Description

Students in this course will study functions including real world situations and how they are modeled algebraically, numerically, and graphically. This course will demonstrate how algebra and trigonometry can be used to model real world problems. Students will demonstrate an understanding of trigonometric functions and formulas for sine and cosine. Students will relate the slope of a tangent line at a specific point on a curve to the instantaneous rate of change. This is a demanding course designed for motivated students.  Students completing this course with a B/B+ or better typically enroll in AP Calculus AB/BC.
