Solving Systems of Equations
This unit introduces how to systematically solve a system of equations, namely linear equations. Examples of non-linear systems, including systems of 3 unknowns will be of emphasis.
-
Graphs of Trigonometric Functions
The unit focuses primarily on how to graph periodic sinusoidal functions, and how to identify features of a waveform to produce an equation by inspection.
-
Polar Coordinate Functions
An introduction to the polar coordinate system.
-
Variation
-
Complex Numbers
-
Exponents and Radicals
This unit is an extension of what was introduced in Math 1131. To learn how to work with radicals, knowing your exponent laws in crucial. Hence, this unit begins with a thorough review.
-
Logarithmic Functions
This chapter introduces you to exponential functions, and how they can be solved using logarithms.
-
Trigonometric Identities and Equations
-
Analytic Geometry
Converting Between Rectangular and Polar Equations
Just as in the previous section, you can convert rectangular equations to polar equations using the same formulas introduced before (summarized below). Rectangular equations are written exclusively in terms of x and y, while polar equations are written in terms of r and θ. The first of many videos related to this concept shows how to transform rectangular equations to polar:
Converting rectangular equations to polar:
The next video will demonstrate how to go in the opposite direction, where you convert from polar to rectangular form.

In case you’re need of more practice, the video below shows several more examples.
