Description

In Mathematics for College Algebra, you will acquire skills needed for success in college-level mathematics. You will integrate critical-thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and mathematics skills as you explore expressions, equations, and functions. Within this exploration, you will interpret the viability of solutions to real-world problems at the level of algebra required for entry into college-level courses.Instructional time in Mathematics for College Algebra will emphasize five areas: (1) developing fluency with the Laws of Exponents with numerical and algebraic expressions; (2) extending arithmetic operations with algebraic expressions to include rational and polynomial expressions; (3) solving one-variable exponential, logarithmic, radical and rational equations and interpreting the viability of solutions in real-world contexts; (4) modeling with and applying linear, quadratic, absolute value, exponential, logarithmic and piecewise functions and systems of linear equations and inequalities; (5) extending knowledge of functions to include inverse and composition.
