Course Description.

Explores relations and functions graphically, numerically, symbolically, and verbally. Examines exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, and rational functions. Investigates applications from a variety of perspectives. Graphing technology is required, such as Desmos and/or GeoGebra which are available at no cost. The PCC math department recommends that students take MTH courses in consecutive terms. Recommended: MTH 95 taken within the past four terms. Prerequisites: MTH 95 and (RD 115 and WR 115) or IRW 115 or equivalent placement. Audit available. (For detailed information, see the Course Content and Outcome Guide 2 .)

Course Outcomes.

Upon completion of the course students should be able to:

  • Demonstrate an understanding of functions including function notation, function algebra, domain/range, inverse functions, piecewise functions, graph transformations, and symmetry.

  • Analyze polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions represented numerically, symbolically, verbally and graphically and identify properties of these functions using technology.

  • Use variables to represent unknown quantities; create models; solve exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, and rational equations; and interpret the results.

  • Demonstrate a mastery of the skills necessary for future course work that requires the use of precalculus concepts.
