MTH 96 - Applied Algebra II

MTH 60  or MTH 102CT  or designated placement

Course Description: Introduces the study and application of linear, quadratic, power, exponential, and logarithmic expressions and functions. Working with real data, the mathematics of curve fitting will be developed making extensive use of the graphing calculator. This course concludes the developmental mathematics sequence. Course does not transfer.

Course Learning Outcomes:

• CLO#1: Differentiate between empirical, graphical, and functional representations of algebraic relationships.
• CLO#2: Create linear, quadratic, power, exponential, and logarithmic models of real world situations using the regression feature of graphing calculators and excel. (ILO: Quantitative literacy & reasoning)
• CLO#3: Recognize the basic shape of linear, quadratic, power, exponential, and logarithmic relationships.
• CLO#4: Use basic algebra skills to solve linear, quadratic, power, exponential, and logarithmic equations.
