College Algebra W/Trigonometry: This course is a dual enrollment course offered in collaboration with Westchester Community College (WCC) through its Advanced College Experience (ACE). This course focuses on topics in algebra and trigonometry including linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and circular functions, complex numbers, radical and absolute value equations, linear inequalities, polynomial division, graphing calculator applications, and applications of right triangles. The final exam is a departmental exam.Please note that the timelines listed below are a guide. Teachers modify their pacing based on student needs in order to ensure concept mastery.Unit 1
