This text begins with a review of basic trigonometry and progresses to advanced topics, including functions, identities, and trigonometric equations. Analytical geometry topics include the study of lines, conics, quadric surfaces, polar coordinates, and parametric equations. Graphs in one, two, and three dimensions illustrate concepts. Helpful tips and example problems that show step-by-step solutions aid in understanding and problem solving. Softcover, 331 pages, 1st edition.
Establish a firm foundation of basic calculus and trigonometry with this Precalculus textbook. This text covers solving trigonometric equations, intercepts and symmetry, ellipses and parabolas, graphing techniques, functions, reference triangles, complex numbers, limits, and more! Complete with detailed explanations, practical applications, and ample practice problems, Precalculus with Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry will prepare your child for more advanced mathematical adventures.
The purpose of precalculus is to teach the student how to select and apply various techniques to solve mathematical problems in a skillful, systematic, and logical manner. Students will learn the underlying principles of trigonometry and interrelationships of lines and functions with graphical and analytical problem-solving techniques from a study in analytical geometry. The study culminates with an introduction to selected calculus topics. 170 lessons
