Test Tomorrow!

Today we got a glimpse of the "new course" we'll be starting--trigonometry! Tomorrow we'll put the official bow on our first semester with one last test...the universal screen we took at the start of the year!

Tonight's homework is, of course, to study! This is your first test grade of the third quarter!

The test is 25 multiple choice, all with a graphing calculator. Here's what's on it:

• Evaluate a function like f(x+2)
• Find the domain of a rational function (denominator can't = 0)
• Determine where a function is increasing, decreasing, constant
• Evaluate a composition (f(g(4)))
• Find the inverse of a (linear) function
• Find the slope-intercept form of a line parallel to a given one
• Describe shifts/reflections
• Identify the vertex of a quadratic in standard form (a(x-h)^2+k)
• Find the maximum value of a given quadratic (x = -b/2a, sub x to find y)
• Find all zeros of a polynomial
• Divide using long division
• Factor a polynomial completely given a factor
• Divide complex numbers (multiply by the conjugate of the denominator)
• Find all zeros of a function
• Find horizontal asymptotes (look at degree of numerator, denominator)
• Find vertical asymptotes (set denominator = 0)
• Evaluate an exponential function
• Find exponential form of a log equation
• Use change of base to rewrite a log
• Use properties of logs to condense an expression
• Solve an exponential equation (take log of both sides, remember?)
• Solve a log equation with same base (condense, write exponential form)
• Find the amount of time it takes an account to double if it's compounded continuously (know the equation!)
• Solve an exponential equation
