Will i be ready for Honors Precalculus?

Applying to College

<p>Im in Honors Geometry right now as a sophomore and I am going to take math classes in the summer to get ahead. Im worried tge summer classes will not prepare me good enough for precal,My first class includes the following topics: linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, and absolute value equations and inequalities, algebraic expressions, graphing techniques, factoring techniques, exponents and logarithms.
My second,Topics include right triangle trigonometry, trigonometric functions and graphs, trig identities, inverse trig functions, law of sines, and law of cosines.</p>

<p>What will i be missing for precalculus? Am i going to be prepared? Im worried because my Algebra 2 class doesnt include functions and ive heard thats what precal is all about.</p>

<p>Precalculus is pretty easy except for finding the domain and range part. Most of precalc is graphing different types of functions and, finding the domain and range. If you are good at graphing and Algebra 2 you will get a good grade in precalculus!</p>

<p>A lot of that stuff is what we teach in Honors Precalculus.</p>

<p>You’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Just curious, why is this in the College Admissions forum?</p>

<p>Hi! It seems like that’s what we went over when I took algebra 2 trig, the most important thing is to just be comfortable with trig and graphing because you go more in depth in those topics in Pre calc and eventually calc. You should do fine! Just make sure you pay special attention to those topics to make your life easier next year. Pre calc is just a harder version of algebra 2 trig basically, a little more in depth and some more topics, it’s all about exposure. Good luck and don’t worry too much!</p>

<p>True. Particularly, to be comfortable with the graphs of polynomial and rational functions. Also comfortable with the graphing calculator.</p>

<p>It’s also important to come out of precalculus comfortable with exponential and logarithmic functions, and with inverse functions generally.</p>
