Here are a whole bunch of questions that will help you review for the final.  Here's the answer key.  The real final will be MUCH shorter!

Here are some review topics for the final.  I haven't listed specific sections in the textbook - use the index!  Also look over old quizzes and tests for problems of the following types.

• Piecewise functions (I will stick to "pieces" that are lines, parabolas, and absolute value of linear - see handout from class for examples)

• Absolute value equations/inequalities (we used the "blob" method for these!)

• Quadratic and rational inequalities (we used the critical value method for these!)

• Rational Functions (find HA's, VA's, holes, oblique asymptotes, x and y intercepts, and the graph)

• Difference Quotient (the formula will be given on the exam)

• Function stuff (composition, even/odd/neither, domain&range, inverse functions, etc...)

• Polynomial stuff (Rational Zero theorem, factor theorem, Descartes' Rule of signs, intermediate value theorem, find all zeros, etc...)

• Log and Exponential equations, properties, graphs, applications

• Trig - all of it!  (including identities, equations, etc.)

• Triangles!  Solve them.  Watch for SSA case!

• Trig form of complex numbers and De Moivre's Theorem not this semester :(

You may bring ONE standard sheet of paper (8 1/2 by 11) with writing on BOTH SIDES to the final.  You may NOT put any examples on the page of notes, but you may write identities, draw the unit circle, write definitions, descriptions of processes, etc... but NO EXAMPLES!  Please ask me if you're not sure what an "example" is.
