Description
This course represents development in algebraic and function concepts above Principles of Mathematics and below Intermediate Algebra. The course includes: a review of number and equation properties, data analysis, interval notation, and scientific notation; a study of function representation, behaviors of the linear, quadratic, absolute value, and square root functions. It also includes a deeper analysis of: arithmetic operations on polynomials, factoring, linear and quadratic equations, and solving equations. An Initial Knowledge Exam will determine the level for each student and students will then work on the identified areas of attention. PREREQUISITE: MA 090 Principles of Mathematics with a grade of “C” or higher or appropriate score on the math placement test.
