Integrated Math II

Building on the foundations laid in Integrated Math I, students will extend their understanding of functions to encompass function arithmetic (including function composition), local extrema, periodicity, and even and odd functions. Students will carry out detailed explorations of function invertibility and investigate how to perform multi-step graph transformations. They will learn about formal sequence notation and explore recursive sequences.

As part of this course, students will master techniques for solving quadratic equations and explore quadratic functions in-depth, including how they're used to model real-world problems. Students will also deepen their understanding of exponential functions, explore the relationship between exponentials and logarithms, and the laws of logarithms.

This course aims to broaden students' knowledge of geometry, including concepts such as congruence, similarity, circle theorems, and solid geometry. Students will lay robust foundations in trigonometry, including exploring the unit circle, the Pythagorean identity, and how trigonometry is used to solve practical problems,

Finally, students will develop foundations in probability and combinatorics and explore essential tools for analyzing bivariate data.
