MATH 093C - Intermediate Algebra Liberal Arts C

Development of algebraic and problem-solving skills and concepts intended to prepare students for a mathematics foundation course. Topics include linear, quadratic, and exponential equations, functions and their applications, modeling and data analysis. This course does not satisfy the prerequisite for MATH 130, MATH 150, or MATH 165. This self-paced course has no lecture and incorporates independent computer use: in order to advance through course topics, students must achieve required level of mastery. This course is intended for continuing MATH 093 self-paced students who have made suitable progress in the previous semester. PREREQUISITE(S): MATH 080 with a minimum grade of C or appropriate score on the mathematics assessment test and consent of department. Assessment Level(s): AELW 940 / ELAI 990 , READ 120 , or AELR 930 / ELAR 980 . Two hours each week.

2 semester hours

TWO 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 completion of this course 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.
