MAC 1105C — College Algebra with Integrated Review

4 credits · 4 hours

In this course, students will develop problem solving skills, critical thinking, computational proficiency, and contextual fluency through the study of equations, functions, and their graphs. Emphasis will be placed on quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Topics will include solving equations and inequalities, definition and properties of a function, domain and range, transformations of graphs, operations on functions, composite and inverse functions, basic polynomial and rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, and applications. This course is a corequisite course where fundamental concepts from intermediate algebra are integrated into college algebra. Students who successfully complete MAC 1105C cannot take MAC 1105 or MAC 1106 . Student Learning Outcomes: -Students will solve an equation or an inequality using an appropriate technique. -Students will define and describe functions, their properties, and graphs. -Students will manipulate functions to simplify expressions and find new functions. -Students will use transformations to write an equation for a function and to graph a function. -Students will model and solve real world problems using functions. -Students will Demonstrate, during the lab portion of the course, knowledge of operations and properties when working with mathematical expressions including simplifying exponential and rational expressions and factoring polynomials.
