Goals:  Students will be able to graph basic functions and solve equations: exponential, logarithmic, quadratic, rational, radical, and trigonometric.  Students will be able to identify the domain of a function and perform all the basic operations of functions including composition and finding the inverse of a function graphically and algebraically.  Students can determine the values of the six trigonometric functions of an angle (given in degrees or radians) using a triangle or unit circle. They will be able to use basic properties of trigonometric functions and prove identities.
