In this integrated math course, students expand on previous high school math topics including systems of equations and inequalities, polynomials, trigonometry, statistics, and functions. The introduction of complex numbers leads to new adventures in factoring polynomials, solving polynomial equations, and graphing polynomials. Students work with radical and rational expressions and equations and extend their knowledge of exponential functions to inverses and logarithmic functions. They learn about the unit circle and use trigonometric functions to model periodic processes. Geometric topics include three-dimensional visualization, design and optimization, and real-world modeling. Students are introduced to piecewise and logistic functions and perform quadratic and exponential regressions. Finally, students use statistical and probability tools, such as the standard normal distribution, to understand data, and use simulations, experiments, and surveys to make inferences. When enrolling in the full year option of this course it will be delivered in two semesters. Transcripts will reflect each semester separately.
