is it possible to take Pre-Calculus and Geometry at the same time?

Question

I'm 16, junior, and I am desperate to take Calculus my senior year. As a freshmen I took Algebra 1, sophomore Algebra 2, my grades throughout those year were NO LESS THAN 94, this year I'm required to take Geometry, but I want to take Pre-Cal too. I still have time to change my schedule, since this is the 1st week of school, i want to change my schedule so i could take both, is it possible?

Answer 1

Sed, I don't see how you're going to be able to get through Pre-Calc without having taken trigonometry first. In my high school we took Algebra, Geometry, Trig, Pre-Calc, & then Calculus if they were high track. Medium track only got up to Pre-Calc, and low track only got up to Trig, but they had to take Algebra 2. If you wanted to get up to Calculus by your senior year, you should have skipped Algebra 2, and gone straight to Geometry. My sister managed to take Calculus by her senior year, but dummy that I was, I flunked Trig my junior year, and had to take it over as a senior. But I like to think I surpassed my sister since I ended up taking Pre-Calc, Calc I, Calc II, multi-variable Calculus, Differential Equations, & Linear Algebra by the time I finished up all my math in college. I wouldn't stress too much about getting Calculus out of the way by your senior year. You'll probably learn it a lot more if you're able to take it when you're in college. Relax, take it easy, you have the rest of your life to work, but you're only going to be in school for a relatively short period of your life.

Answer 2

As the subjects were taught at my school, precalculus was basically algebra with the trigonometric identities applied, and geometry taught rules and visual analyses of shapes (esp. triangles) and lines. If you know algebra well and you are good at spatial analysis it will likely not be a problem. If precalculus involves proofs heavily, there will likely be some geometry involved, but it seems like the classes are designed to give some basic understanding to those who are presumed not to have developed one. As long as you remain motivated, you should be able to keep up. Precalculus is a different field than geometry and does not build on it as much as previous math classes often do.

Answer 3

Algebra 2 is mostly taken previously Geometry, although the order in which this is taken isn't very proper. And to reply to your question, likely no longer. countless the belongings you study in a lengthy time period in Geometry are often utilized by ability of the year in Pre-Calculus (mutually with graphing and formula and all that loopy stuff). I also would not recommend taking Geometry and Pre-Cal at the same time because countless scholars also have a tendency to warfare plenty contained in the first months of Geometry, myself protected, so that you will be better than enthusiastic about Geometry to be able to highlight Pre-Cal. maximum textbooks want to start up the route with proofs and theorems, it is thoroughly diverse than the different math that you've realized because this is better about the "idea" than fixing equations and issues. even if you're taking Geometry next year, you would possibly want to take Pre-Calculus in Junior year, Calculus AB in Senior year and take Calculus BC on your freshman year in college. you're already prior to maximum individuals. you could attempt taking Geometry THIS year, alongside with Algebra 2 once you're incredibly that adamant about taking Calculus for the period of your junior year (that can be a better positive idea than Geo and Pre-Cal mutually). refer on your counselor and observe in case you could fit on your time table (take a seventh era, once you should)/even if this is not too late to regulate your time table, seeing as we are already in November. solid success!

Answer 4

yes, that isnt so bad, it would be hard to go from basic algebra to calc2, but geometry is quite different from calc, separate principals

Answer 5

it is possible, but it will be a lot of work.
