 3. Factorize polynomials.
 4. Simplify radicals and solve equations using one and two radical expressions.
 5. Graph linear equations, find the slope of a line and find the equation of a line.
 6. Solve systems of equations by graphing, substitution and addition. Identify consistent, inconsistent and dependent systems by their graphs, substitution or addition.
 7. Analyze statistical data.
 8. Graph trigonometric functions.
 9. Find the trigonometric function of an angle using a reciprocal or ratio identity, or Pythagorean and related identities.
10. Find the exact trigonometric function value of a given angle using the sum and difference formulas and use the proper formula to find the exact trigonometric value of
    a given angle.
