MATH 165 - Precalculus (MATF, GEEL)
An examination of topics from advanced algebra, trigonometry, conics, and functions and applied problems. This course is designed to prepare students for MATH 181 . PREREQUISITE(S): A grade of C or better in MATH 050 appropriate score on mathematics, assessment test, or consent of department. PRE- or COREQUISITE(S): MATH 098 Assessment Level(s): ENGL 101 / ENGL 101A or AELW 940 /ELAI 990 , READ 120 or AELR 930 /ELAR 980 . For computation of tuition, this course is equivalent to five semester hours. Five hours each week. Formerly MA 180.
4 semester hours
Course Outcomes: Upon course completion, a student will be able to:
- Describe and analyze properties of course functions algebraically, verbally, numerically, and graphically.
- Create, recognize, and interpret transformations of course functions and circles algebraically, numerically, verbally and graphically.
- Develop a mathematical model from a verbal description or data. Apply the mathematical model to solve a problem and interpret the solution.
- Simplify expressions, verify identities and solve equations, algebraically.
- Solve and interpret absolute value, rational and polynomial inequalities algebraically and graphically.
- Combine course functions arithmetically and by composition, and understand the function properties of the newly formed functions.
- Determine inverse functions and their properties for appropriate course functions.
- Employ the graphing calculator to evaluate, find common points, zeros, symmetries, relative extrema and intervals of inequality of all course functions and parametric equations
- Sketch, by hand, and label significant features on graphs of course functions.
