Dual Credit MATH 1314 – College Algebra: Is an in-depth study and applications of polynomial, rational, radical, exponential, and logarithmic functions, and systems of equations using matrices. As its name says this class will give you High School Math credit and College credit.
This course intended student outcomes are:
Critical Thinking: to include creative thinking, innovation, inquiry, and analysis, evaluation and synthesis of information
Communication: to include effective development, interpretation and expression of ideas through written, oral and visual communication
Empirical and Quantitative Skills: to include the manipulation and analysis of numerical data or observable facts resulting in informed conclusions
The expected student learning outcomes are:
Demonstrate and apply knowledge of properties of functions, including domain and range, operations, compositions, and inverses.
Recognize and apply polynomial, rational, radical, exponential and logarithmic functions and solve related equations.
Apply graphing techniques.
Evaluate all roots of higher degree polynomial and rational functions.
Recognize, solve and apply systems of linear equations using matrices.
