Calc 2

Review - In this chapter we give a brief review of selected topics from


Algebra and Trig that are vital to surviving a Calculus course. Included are
Functions, Trig Functions, Solving Trig Equations and Equations,
Exponential/Logarithm Functions and Solving Exponential/Logarithm
Equations.

Functions – In this section we will cover function notation/evaluation,


determining the domain and range of a function and function composition.
Inverse Functions – In this section we will define an inverse function and
the notation used for inverse functions. We will also discuss the process for
finding an inverse function.
Trig Functions – In this section we will give a quick review of trig functions.
We will cover the basic notation, relationship between the trig functions, the
right triangle definition of the trig functions. We will also cover evaluation of
trig functions as well as the unit circle (one of the most important ideas from
a trig class!) and how it can be used to evaluate trig functions.
Solving Trig Equations – In this section we will discuss how to solve trig
equations. The answers to the equations in this section will all be one of the
“standard” angles that most students have memorized after a trig class.
However, the process used here can be used for any answer regardless of it
being one of the standard angles or not.
Solving Trig Equations with Calculators, Part I – In this section we will
discuss solving trig equations when the answer will (generally) require the
use of a calculator (i.e. they aren’t one of the standard angles). Note
however, the process used here is identical to that for when the answer is
one of the standard angles. The only difference is that the answers in here
can be a little messy due to the need of a calculator. Included is a brief
discussion of inverse trig functions.
Solving Trig Equations with Calculators, Part II – In this section we will
continue our discussion of solving trig equations when a calculator is needed
to get the answer. The equations in this section tend to be a little trickier
than the "normal" trig equation and are not always covered in a trig class.
Exponential Functions – In this section we will discuss exponential
functions. We will cover the basic definition of an exponential function, the
natural exponential function, i.e. exex, as well as the properties and graphs
of exponential functions.
Logarithm Functions – In this section we will discuss logarithm functions,
evaluation of logarithms and their properties. We will discuss many of the
basic manipulations of logarithms that commonly occur in Calculus (and
higher) classes. Included is a discussion of the natural (ln(x)ln⁡(x)) and
common logarithm (log(x)log⁡(x)) as well as the change of base formula.
