Institution:
Northern Pennsylvania Regional College
Subject:
Mathematics
Description:
This course promotes interpretation and communication of relationships and functions presented in verbal, symbolic, graphical, or numerical form. An understanding of algebraic concepts and the ability to apply algebraic skills and reasoning to linear, quadratic, cubic, radical, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions is developed using modeling, algebraic manipulation, and exploration of data to determine the solution set for equations and inequalities and their associated systems with and without the use of technology. The course explores conic sections from the perspective of pattern recognition with focus on graphing and application to solving nonlinear systems of equations and inequalities. The course develops basic understanding of matrix operations and the use of matrix concepts to solve linear systems.
