The purpose of this course is to develop skills in Linear Functions, Quadratic Functions, General Polynomial Functions, Rational Functions, Exponential Functions, Logarithmic Functions and Systems of Linear Equations.
We will emphasize problem-solving techniques, complemented with diverse resources to help ensure you master concepts in each of these areas. Another learning objective for this course is to demonstrate the ability to apply specific problem-solving steps to solve algebraic word problems.
MAT 117 is an adaptive course run in ALEKS (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces). ALEKS uses adaptive questioning in the form of an Initial Knowledge Check (IKC) to determine exactly what you know and don’t know upon entry into the course. ALEKS then instructs you on the topics you are most ready to learn. By the end of the session, you will have learned many college algebra topics across four units! Unit A covers exponents, simplifying, factoring, and solving algebraic expressions. Unit B provides an introduction to functions, linear functions, and systems of linear equations. Unit C addresses graphs of functions, composite functions, inverse functions, quadratic functions, polynomials, and rational functions. Finally, Unit D introduces exponential and logarithmic functions, together with applications.
