I begins the more advanced study of mathematics in the sequence, continuing many of the topics found in Mth 076 and Mth 086. I introduces the function concept of algebra with a review of linear functions. Rates of change of both linear graphs and from tables of data are discussed. Additional work with graphs, charts, and tables is completed. Other topics may include rational exponents, geometry of circles and coordinate geometry.
Elementary statistics is begun with the study of the mean, median, mode and range of sets of data.
The primary focus of Tech Math II is the study of trigonometry. Right triangle trigonometry will be reviewed. The study will then focus on the unit circle, the trigonometric functions and equations, graphs of the trigonometric functions in both rectangular and polar form, solutions of oblique triangles, complex numbers in rectangular and polar form. Systems of equations, linear and non-linear, will be introduced. Additional work in statistics will be completed including various statistical graphs and spreadsheets.
