MATH& 141 - Precalculus I Credits 5 Elementary functions, their graphs and transformations of their graphs, with applications to mathematical modeling. Examples include linear, quadratic, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, composite functions, and inverse functions. Prerequisite(s): Completion of MATH 095 with a 2.0 or higher or placement by assessment. Course Outcomes
- Solve problems involving the function concepts of domain, range, symmetry, composition, and inverses using functions in graphical, symbolic or numerical form.
- Graph polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions and interpret these graphs through the lens of linear transformations.
- Identify, locate and communicate important graphical and functional features.
- Use theorems and algebraic techniques to determine zeros of polynomial functions.
- Solve equations/inequalities involving polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions using graphical and algebraic methods.
- Use the binomial theorem for polynomial expansion.
- Apply the technique of proof by induction.
- Apply algebraic and geometric concepts, and numerical computations, to answer word problems.
- Communicate using mathematical notation and language.
