    C.    Apply algebraic techniques to trigonometric expressions, identities, and triangles.
    D.    Recognize the basic characteristics and graphs of the conic sections.
    E.    Apply the concepts associated with vectors and their operations.
    F.     Apply the concepts of sequences and series.
    G.    Solve parametric equations.
    H.    Solve and graph polar equations.
    I.    Use technology for graphing and evaluating functions:
        1.    Generate the complete graph for the elementary functions.
        2.    Solve equations involving elementary functions.

Students and employees at Oakton Community College are required to demonstrate academic integrity and follow Oakton's Code of Academic Conduct. This code prohibits:

• cheating,
• plagiarism (turning in work not written by you, or lacking proper citation),
• falsification and fabrication (lying or distorting the truth),
• helping others to cheat,
• unauthorized changes on official documents,
• pretending to be someone else or having someone else pretend to be you,
• making or accepting bribes, special favors, or threats, and
• any other behavior that violates academic integrity.

There are serious consequences to violations of the academic integrity policy. Oakton's policies and procedures provide students a fair hearing if a complaint is made against you. If you are found to have violated the policy, the minimum penalty is failure on the assignment and, a disciplinary record will be established and kept on file in the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs for a period of 3 years.
Details of the Code of Academic Conduct can be found in the Student Handbook.
