See how Kuest teaches it

It asks before it tells, so you do the thinking and it sticks.

You: What is the period of y = sin(2x)?
Kuest: The regular sin(x) repeats every 2π. When the input is 2x instead of x, does the graph repeat faster or slower?
You: Slower, because the number is bigger. So the period is 4π.
Kuest: Try a point. At x = π, the input is 2π, a full cycle already. So the graph finishes a cycle sooner. How would you find the new period?
You: Divide instead: 2π ÷ 2 = π.
Kuest: The period is π. In general, y = sin(Bx) has period 2π ÷ |B|, so a bigger B squeezes the wave.

For y = sin(Bx), the period is 2π ÷ |B|: a bigger B means a shorter period.

The method

How to study Precalculus with Kuest

Precalculus is a course about function families, so the goal is to recognize each family from its equation, graph and table. Graph constantly, space out your review of the unit circle and log rules, and practice explaining how a change to the equation changes the graph.

  1. Learn each function familyTutor chat

    Ask Kuest to walk you through polynomial, rational, exponential, log and trig functions, answering its questions as you go.

  2. Graph every transformationGraphs

    Graph f(x), then f(x − 2) + 1 or sin(2x), and predict the change before you look.

  3. Memorize the unit circle with spacingFlashcards

    Turn key angles, identities and log rules into flashcards that come back over several days.

  4. Quiz yourself by unitQuizzes

    Take short quizzes on each unit, mixing graphs, tables and equations the way AP Precalculus questions do.

  5. Patch algebra gapsGap finder

    Let Kuest find the algebra skills behind your mistakes, like factoring or fraction work, and review just those.

  6. Practice under timingMock exams

    Take a timed mock exam before your unit test or the AP exam and go over each question you missed.
