PRECALCULUS - Ok please help. I'm taking a precalculus pretest in two weeks and I NEED to know, what will most likely be on it from algebra II? I know it's subject to change for each school, but anyone that took a precalculus (not Honors or AP) pretest, what was mostly on yours? (like quadratics, factoring polynomials, exponential and radical simplifying and whatnot, etc.) Please let me know -- I have summer break retention problems and I need to know what to focus on studying these last days of summer D: Thank you!

Question

vocaloid · Answer

here are some of the topics that get carried over from algebra:

- graphing functions without a calculator (being able to recognize transformations like vertical and horizontal shifts, vertical and horizontal stretches, etc.)
- knowing how to find zeros algebraically (factoring is important here!)
- polynomials - classifying polynomials and recognizing end behavior based on the leading coefficient and exponents
- exponential functions and logarithmic functions, properties of exponents and logarithms
- basic trigonometry (know what sin, cos, and tan are, and what their graphs look like)
- arithmetic and geometric series
