Intermediate Algebra

Catalog description

This course covers solving linear equations and inequalities (in one variable), Cartesian coordinate, graphing lines using slope and y-intercept, systems of linear equations and inequalities. Also included are basic operations with exponents, polynomials, rational expressions, and radical expressions. Factoring polynomials is also taught. Problem-solving is integrated throughout the course and appropriate use of non-graphing scientific calculators is expected.
