• Linear and quadratic functions (including graphs and functions, linear functions, and parabolas)
• Exponents and polynomials (including integer exponents, polynomial arithmetic, factoring, and polynomial equations)
• Rational expressions (including rational equations and rational functions)
• Radical expressions (including higher roots and rational exponents)
• Exponentials and logarithms (including function compositions and inverse functions, properties of logarithms, and logarithmic equations)
• Geometry and trigonometry (including perimeter, area, and volume, coordinate geometry, trigonometric functions, and identities and equations)
