Course Description: This course includes the study
of linear equations in one and two variables,
functions, inequalities, graphing on a line and in the coordinate
plane, quadratic equations,
rational and radical algebraic expressions. The course is challenging,
certain topics are covered
at an accelerated pace, allowing time for more advanced topics. The
text emphasizes a functional
approach that leads to a deeper understanding of concepts and mastery
of skills. Graphing
calculator required. Texas Instruments TI – 83 recommended.
Course Objective: Students in this course will be
taught the real number system, equations and
inequalities, functions and graphs, systems of equations and inequalities,
polynomials, rational
expressions, quadratic functions, and polynomial functions.
Course Requirements: Requirements required for successful
completion of the course may include,
but are not limited to, homework and classwork, quizzes and tests,
midterm and final exams.
