8 Weeks
Prerequisite:
While there are no pre-requisites for MATH110, the course
assumes the student has completed MATH101 Introduction
to College Algebra or an equivalent course.
Course Description
This course investigates the concepts of college algebra. The course covers the concepts
of algebra, graphing and solution of linear and quadratic equations, inequalities and the
solution of systems of linear equations. The course is organized into four distinct parts.
The first part of the course covers the basic concepts involved in graphing points and
linear equations. The second part of the course investigates the solution and graphing of
inequalities and systems of linear equations. The third part of the course concentrates on
the manipulation and use of exponential expressions and radicals. The final part of the
course considers the solution of quadratic equations and their applications. Practical
applications are provided throughout the course. Throughout the course, there is careful
attention to the presentation of concepts that will become important in the study of
analytic geometry, trigonometry and calculus. While there are no pre-requisites for
MATH110, the course assumes the student has completed MATH101 Introduction to
College Algebra or an equivalent course and is completely comfortable with the language
of algebra, equations and inequalities, polynomials, factoring, and rational expressions.
