Welcome to the
Pre-Calculus Power Point Flash Drill!
I’m going to ask you a lot of questions about math. These are facts that you should know extremely
well. You also need to be able to recall them quickly if you want to succeed in Calculus.
When you think you know the answer,
(or if you give up ) click to get to the next slide to see if you were correct.
Ready?
Define an
Even Function
)()( xfxf
Note: It is NOT enough to know the graph is
symmetric with respect to the y-axis.
Define an
Odd Function
)()( xfxf Again, please note that it is NOT enough to know that the graph has origin
symmetry.
See if you can identify the function that probably goes with each of these simple
graphs….

The graph of x = a
is…
… a vertical line.
The graph of y = a
is…
… a horizontal line.
OK…that’s enough about graphs!

What are the Principle domains of the 6 trig
functions?
That is, what quadrants are the angles in which can be used to
answer inverse trig function problems?

for tangent
(Different texts assign different principle domains to the other three trig functions,
so we won’t bother with them.)

Use the binomial
Theorem.
If you know all this material, then you are prepared to begin
calculus… All you need now is a sharp mind, a sharp pencil and
a really big eraser!
GOODBYE!!!!
ADIOS!

CHOW!
