This course introduces the second half of the traditional Mathematics 51 course to students wishing to study the topics in a longer time frame. The course content includes a review and extension of graphing of linear equations and inequalities, rational expressions, the study of systems of linear equations and inequalities, radicals and quadratic equations, and continued development with word problems. This is a course in Euclidean geometry, but with some work in spatial and coordinate geometry. This course includes theorems, proofs, problems and constructions pertaining to lines, angles, triangles, similar triangles, polygons, circles, areas, and volumes. An introduction to coordinate geometry may be included if time permits.
Content includes a review in depth and extensions of the processes of elementary algebra.
New topics include rational exponents, quadratic systems, introduction to conic sections, exponential and logarithmic functions and applications. Class is not applicable to an Associate Degree. This is a self-paced course in basic mathematics skills, including the basic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division applied to the whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. The course is repeatable up to two units. Class is not applicable to an Associate Degree.
