THREE EQUIVALENT CREDIT HOURS. NOT APPLICABLE TO A DEGREE OR CERTIFICATE. MAY NOT BE USED TO SATISFY DEGREE REQUIREMENTS. NOT INCLUDED IN GPA CALCULATION.
Course Outcomes: Upon course completion, a student will be able to:
- Identify whether a function is linear, quadratic, or exponential when it is defined verbally, symbolically, graphically or in tabular form.
- Recognize specific symbolic and graphical characteristics of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.
- Interpret, in context, the key features of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.
- Use real world data to develop the appropriate linear, quadratic, or exponential function model.
- Use linear, quadratic, and exponential models to evaluate and make predictions.
- Use numerical, verbal, algebraic or graphical strategies for outcomes #3, #5 listed above.
- Solve linear, quadratic, and exponential equations by applying algebraic, numerical, and/or graphing techniques.
