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.
  • Translate and solve linear, quadratic, and exponential application problems.
