Section I will consist of 40 multiple choice questions. The exam will be composed of 2 sections, each with 2 different types of questions. Note that Unit 4 will not be tested on the AP exam. Parametrization of Implicitly Defined Functions Parametric Functions Modeling Planar Motion Unit 4: Functions Involving Parameters, Vectors, and Matrices (7–7.5 weeks) # The Secant, Cosecant, and Cotangent FunctionsĮquivalent Representations of Trigonometric Functions Sinusoidal Function Context and Data Modeling Unit 3: Trigonometric and Polar Functions (7–7.5 weeks) # Logarithmic Function Context and Data Modeling Unit 2: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions (6–6.5 weeks) #Ĭhange in Arithmetic and Geometric SequencesĬhange in Linear and Exponential FunctionsĮxponential Function Context and Data ModelingĮxponential and Logarithmic Equations and Inequalities Rational Functions and Vertical AsymptotesĮquivalent Representations of Polynomial and Rational Expressionsįunction Model Selection and Assumption Articulationįunction Model Construction and Application Rates of Change in Linear and Quadratic Functions Topic outline Unit 1: Polynomial and Rational Functions (6–6.5 weeks) # Furthermore, as AP Precalculus may be the last mathematics course of a student's secondary education, the course is structured to provide a coherent capstone experience and is not exclusively focused on preparation for future courses. In this course, students study a broad spectrum of function types that are foundational for careers in mathematics, physics, biology, health science, social science, and data science. This research-based exploration of functions is designed to better prepare students for college-level calculus and provide grounding for other mathematics and science courses. ĪP Precalculus centers on functions modeling dynamic phenomena. Offering a college-level precalculus course in high school will give students a new and valuable option for improving math readiness and staying on track for college. The course and examination are designed to teach and assess precalculus concepts, as a foundation for a wide variety of STEM fields and careers, and are not solely designed as preparation for future mathematics courses such as AP Calculus AB/BC. The course debuted in the fall of 2023, with the first exam session taking place in May 2024.
