This course offers dual credit through DCCCD for College Algebra and Trigonometry. In this course, students use symbolic reasoning and analytical methods to represent mathematical situations, to express generalizations, and to study mathematical concepts and the relationships among them. Students use functions, equations, and limits as useful tools for expressing generalizations and as means for analyzing and understanding a broad variety of mathematical relationships. Students also use functions as well as symbolic reasoning to represent and connect ideas in geometry, probability, statistics, trigonometry, and calculus and to model physical situations. Students use a variety of representations (concrete, numerical, algorithmic, and graphical), tools, and technology to model functions and equations and solve real-life problems. At an honors or pre AP level, this course addresses the essential knowledge and skills for precalculus at greater depth with a broader scope and a faster pace along with higher expectations for student performance. This course is an excellent preparation for college entrance examinations (SAT, ACT, etc.) and further study in mathematics and is designed for students who plan to take an advanced placement (AP) mathematics course in high school. *AP and Dual Credit courses address learning objectives at greater depth and faster pace along with higher expectations for student performance.
