Course Description

Math C094 is a concurrent support course for MATH C140, Business Calculus. It is designed to review prerequisite skills necessary for success. Topics include the structure and properties of number systems; applications, solution and graphs of polynomials, rational, exponential, logarithmic functions; matrices; sequences and series. It prepares students for MATH C140. Concurrent enrollment in specified sections of MATH C140 may be required. COREQUISITE: MATH C140. NOT DEGREE APPLICABLE. Not Transferable.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Demonstrate proficiency of concepts to solve, graph, model, and apply various collegiate-level algebraic functions.

Course Objectives

• 1. Solve quadratic and rational equations and inequalities.
• 2. Find the domain, range, and inverse and graph (with the translations) the following: linear, radical, polynomials, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
• 3. Manipulate polynomials and solve polynomials equations using the Rational Zero Theorem, Synthetic Division, The Remainder Theorem, and Factor Theorem.
• 4. Solve polynomials equations by factoring and solve radical equations.
