Topics include basic algebra, functions and graphs, radicals and exponents, trigonometric functions, identities and equations. Calculator is required. Topics include linear and quadratic functions with applications to supply, demand, cost, revenue, profit, break- even, and equilibrium analysis, in addition to systems of linear equalities and inequalities as they lead to linear programming. Modeling using the logarithmic and exponential functions, and the derivative as used in optimization are included. Emphasis is on the problem-solving approach with use throughout of the graphing calculator and a spreadsheet program.
