    The Syllabus

    • Establish and use the algebraic properties of exponential functions
    • Recognise the qualitative features of the graph of exponentials including asymptotes
    • Identify contexts suitable for modelling with exponential functions and use them to solve practical problems.

    • Recognise and use the inverse relationship between logarithms and exponentials
    • Establish and use algebraic properties of logarithms
    • Interpret and use logarithmic scales
    • Recognise qualitative features of the graph of y=a(x) (with a>1) including asymptotes, and more generally y=a(x+c)+b.
    • Identify contexts suitable for modelling with logarithmic functions and use them to solve practical problems (algebraically, graphically, and with technology).

    • Understand the unit circle definition of sin, cos and tan using radians and recognise the exact values at integer multiples of pi/6 and pi/4
    • Recognise the graphs of y=cos(x), y=sin(x), y=tan(x) and identify key elements of their graphs
    • Describe amplitude, period and phase changes of sin, cos and tan, and graphs of y=asin(bx+c)+d, y=acos(bx+c)+d, y=a tan(bx+c)+d
    • Prove and apply common trigonometric identities including angle sum and angle difference identities
    • Identify contexts suitable for modelling with trigonometric functions and use them to solve practical problems.

    • Recognise the shape of the graph of a reciprocal function
    • Recognise the shape of the graph of an absolute value function
    • Apply the properties of absolute values, and use them to solve equations.
    • Describe the effect of performing the absolute value on an existing function

    • There is a timed exam.
