MATH& 141 Pre-Calculus I5 credits Precalculus I includes the study of linear, absolute value, radical, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
This course meets the Quantitative Reasoning general education distribution requirement.
Prerequisites: MATH 99 (or placement into MATH& 141)
Course Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Apply the principles of basic algebra and coordinate geometry to solve math problems
- Analyze and solve equations verbally, algebraically, graphically, and numerically
- Use mathematical modeling to solve application problems and interpret the solution in the context of the problem
- Simplify and evaluate combined functions and composite functions
- Describe how transformations of functions affect their graphs
- Determine key features of functions, such as domain, range, asymptotes, and intercepts
- Graph linear, absolute value, piecewise, radical, polynomial, rational, exponential and logarithmic functions
- Find an equation of a function from its graph
- Find the inverse of a one-to-one function
- Apply the properties and laws of logarithms
- Interpret and analyze linear and non-linear data to develop appropriate models
General Education Distribution Area Outcomes Students who successfully complete courses in the Quantitative Reasoning distribution area will be able to:
- Gather, organize, and interpret data using multiple approaches
- Develop and use mathematical models to describe and evaluate physical situations
