Syllabus Outline

Section A will contain structured questions, while Section B will contain unstructured questions. The midterm exam will focus on functions, graphs, transformations, equations, and number and algebra topics. Specifically, it will evaluate students' understanding of concepts like functions, inverses, rational functions, solving equations graphically and analytically, transformations of graphs, the binomial theorem, and partial fractions. Students will be allowed to use a graphic display calculator.

GDC is allowed.

Function
• Concept of a function, domain, range and graph.
• Function notation, for example 𝑓 (𝑥), 𝑣(𝑡), 𝐶(𝑛).

• Informal concept that an inverse function reverses or undoes the effect of a function.
• Inverse function as a reflection in the line 𝑦 = 𝑥, and the notation 𝑓 −1 (𝑥)
• The graph of a function; its equation 𝑦 = 𝑓 (𝑥).

to paper.

analytic approach.
